Naturalized Chinese short track speed skater Lin Hyo-jun suffered a bitter setback against South Korea at his first international multi-sport event in his new home. On the 8th, Lin Xiaojun led the skating with the first place in the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games short track speed skating mixed 2000m relay final held at the Heilongjiang Provincial Ice Training Center Complex in Harbin, but fell alone on the curved track with two laps left on the finish line.

This is Lin Xiaojun's obvious mistake, and there is no room for judgment at all. Lin Xiaojun, who slipped and crashed into the fence, seemed to stand up disappointed. Due to Lim Hyo-jun's mistake, Park Ji-won, who was originally in second place, crossed the finish line first, and the Korean team finally won the championship.

South Korean media said after the game, "It's a nightmare for Lim Hyo-jun." The burden of enormous concern in both South Korea and China seems overwhelming. In 2019, Lin Xiaojun was active in the international arena as a Korean short track speed skating player, and was later suspended for one year by the Korean Skating Federation for being involved in disgraceful things, and became a naturalized Chinese citizen in 2020. He then returned to the international stage with the 2022-2023 ISU World Cup.

This year's Asian Winter Games was held at the home stadium of China, and this was the first international comprehensive competition that Lin Xiaojun participated in after his naturalization. The short track speed skating mixed 2000m relay final against the Korean team was also the first gold medal of the Games. The Chinese crowd in the auditorium shouted "come on", especially Lin Xiaojun, who stood on the ice and chanted his name in a loud voice.

South Korean media said after the game that in the mixed 2000-meter relay final, Lin Xiaojun and South Korean players launched an unstoppable real battle for the gold medal, and finally broke down.

On the 7th, in the men's 500m preliminaries of short track speed skating at the Asian Winter Games, Chinese player Lin Xiaojun was galloping.

Lim Hyo-jun will continue to face competition from South Koreans in the remaining men's 500m and 1500m of the day, and in the men's 1000m and men's 5000m relay on the 9th. Among them, Lin Xiaojun reached the final with the first place in the 1500m semifinals, but finally missed the championship, and the championship was taken away by South Korea's Park Ji-won.
