On February 10, Beijing time, the Chinese team members who had just finished the Asian Winter Games competition were about to leave for Milan, Italy to compete in the World Tour, while Lin Xiaojun, who won the only Asian Winter Games gold medal for China, was absent due to injury and will miss the 2025 World Championships to be held in Beijing.
Lin Xiaojun said that he fell in the 2024 World Tour and suffered a major injury to a dislocated shoulder, and due to the Asian Winter Games, Lin Xiaojun postponed surgery in December and hoped to win more gold medals for China. In this Asian Winter Games, Lin Xiaojun was once again pushed by South Korean athletes, and a serious foul made his injury worse, and then Lin Xiaojun made every effort to recover from the injury and prepare for the Milan Winter Olympics next year.
In this Asian Winter Games, Lin Xiaojun played with an injury, winning the men's 500m championship, the men's 1500m runner-up, the mixed relay 2000m and the men's 5000m, all of which fell and lost two gold medals when he was leading in the last lap, and the overall performance was acceptable. The sixth leg of the Short Track Speed Skating World Tour will be held in Milan, Italy from February 14 to 16, and the main players of the Chinese men's and women's teams will participate in the competition.
