Recently, before the world championships to be held this month, Huang Daxian took a PCR test and the result was positive. He will not be able to participate in the 2021-2022 World Championships organized by the International Skating Union (ISU).
The World Championships will be held in Montreal, Canada on April 3, and the South Korean national team will set off for the competition in the near future. The competition time is from 8 to 10.
According to Yonhap News Agency, because he failed to participate in the World Championships, Huang Daxian lost the opportunity to be automatically selected for the South Korean national team next season.
According to the regulations, the top-ranked male and female athlete at the World Championships will be automatically selected for the South Korean national team next season, regardless of their results at the Korean National Championships.
Therefore, Huang Daxian must participate in the 2022-2023 South Korean national team trials held in South Korea at the end of this month.
In February 2018, Huang Daxian won the silver medal in the men's 500m short track speed skating at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. The gold medal in this event was won by Chinese athlete Wu Dajing.
At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Huang Daxian won the men's 1500m short track speed skating championship.
