Hwang Dae-heon and Lin Xiaojun fail to face off at the Seoul Short Track World Cup... "Confirm ankle

The "KB Financial Cup - International Skating Union (ISU) Short Track World Cup 2023-2024" national media day was held at the Ice Rink Press Center in Mok-dong, Seoul. Men's team Park Ji-won, Kim Gun-woo and women's team Kim Ki-li, head coach Ahn Jung-hyun and organizing committee chairman Yoon Hong-geun attended.

The fourth round of the International Skating Union (ISU) short-track speed skating competition for the 2024-2024 season will take place at Mokdong Indoor Ice Rink in Seoul from July 15 to 17. KB Financial Group will participate as the title sponsor of the event, which will be held under the title "KB Financial Cup-ISU Short Track World Cup 2023-2024." It is the first time in six years that the ISU Short Track World Cup will be held in Korea since the fourth round of the 2017-2018 season World Cup.

The biggest concern for the upcoming event was whether or not Hwang Dae-heon and Lin Xiaojun will have a showdown. Ahn, however, said he confirmed that Lin Xiaojun did not participate in the event due to his injury. "I confirmed that Lin Xiaojun will not participate in the event due to his injury," Ahn said. 카지노사이트 순위

Lin Xiaojun suffered a right ankle injury after colliding with another player during the men's 500m final of the third World Cup tournament in Beijing, China, on the 9th. As a result, the Chinese Skating Union announced the day before that Lin Xiaojun would not participate.

As a result, Lin and Hwang failed to have a showdown. Lin represented Korea at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and won a gold medal in men's 1,500m event. However, he was given a one-year suspension by the Korea Skating Union due to an unsavory incident with Hwang during the team's training in 2019. Judging that he could not continue his career in Korea, Lin became a naturalized Chinese citizen the following year.

Their showdown on the international stage took place for the first time this season. In the 1,500-meter final of the first World Cup, Hwang Dae-heon won a gold medal. Interest in the upcoming showdown in Seoul increased, but it was not achieved due to Lin Xiaojun's absence.

"Rather than paying attention to a specific player, I want to show a good performance by myself," Ahn said. "Hwang Dae-heon is in good condition and physical condition. He has gotten a lot brighter on his way back from China and is preparing well for the competition."
