The world's strongest Korean short track speed skating team is constrained by naturalized Korean athletes and foreign team coaches in comprehensive international competitions such as the Winter Olympics. Among them, the South Korean team was robbed of multiple gold medals by naturalized Russian Viktor Ahn (South Korean name Ahn Hyun-so) at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Coach Kim Sun-tae and Coach Viktor Ahn also contributed a lot to China's home gold medal through technical and tactical arrangements when they coached the Chinese team.

On the afternoon of the 3rd (local time), Lin Xiaojun, the Chinese short track speed skating team, was preparing for training in the multi-purpose hall of the Heilongjiang Ice Training Center in Harbin, China.

South Korean media said that in the upcoming 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games, the South Korean short track speed skating team will also have to fight against South Korean athletes and coaches. The host Chinese team, with the help of South Korean-born players and coaches, shouted "Down with South Korea".

PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics gold medallist Lim Hyo-jun is at the forefront. In 2019, when he was active as a signature short-track speed skating player in South Korea, Lim Hyo-jun was involved in a disgraceful affair and was suspended for one year by the Korean Skating Federation, and then chose to become a naturalized Chinese.

After that, Lin Xiaojun was comfortable training and made a comeback in the 2022-2023 season through the International Skating Union (ISU) World Cup. After becoming a naturalized citizen, Lim Hyo-jun made a name for himself in the weak events of the Korean team, such as the men's 500m and relay races.

On the afternoon of the 3rd (local time), Lin Xiaojun (middle), the Chinese short track speed skating team, trained in the multi-purpose hall of the Heilongjiang Ice Training Center in Harbin, China.

It is expected that in this Asian Winter Games, Lin Xiaojun will compete fiercely with South Korean athletes in the men's sprint, men's 5000m relay and mixed 2000m relay. This is the first time he has participated in an international comprehensive competition as a member of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team also has a South Korean short track speed skater, and he is Coach Jeon Jae-so. While coaching the U.S. national team at Vancouver 2010, Coach Quan dropped his baton on suspicion of instructing his team's players to destroy a competitor's skate. After that, he worked as a coach for the Hungarian national team with coach Zhang Jing, who was born in China.

After the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Coach Quan joined the coaching staff of the Chinese national team together with Coach Zhang Jing. It is reported that Coach Quan specially guided Lin Xiaojun in the Chinese national team. On the 3rd, in the multi-purpose hall of the Heilongjiang Ice Training Center in Harbin, China, which was officially trained for the first time before the Harbin Asian Winter Games, the two appeared together.

Coach Quan remained silent during the interview and coached the Chinese players after entering the arena. On the same day, the Chinese team conducted about two hours of actual combat training with the teams from Hong Kong and Singapore. Lin Xiaojun and his teammates of the Chinese national team conducted individual training and relay training with hearty expressions to check their current competitive status.
