  With smooth handover and tacit cooperation, Lin Xiaoxuan calmly waved his arms.

The Chinese men's relay team is like a flock of snow swallows shuttling on the ice, approaching, approaching, the end of victory is ahead!

At this moment, the shouts seemed to condense, and the world was silent. Amidst the heartbeats of countless people on and off the screen, the figure with the five-star red flag printed on his left chest took the lead to cross the finish line.

  Won!

The Chinese team composed of Li Wenlong, Lin Xiaojun, Liu Guanyi and Zhong Yuchen won the men's 5000m relay final and won the first gold medal of the Chinese team in this World Championships.

It is also the first championship that Lin Xiaoxuan has won in this World Championships after four years of absence from the World Championships.

  Although consecutive accidents in individual events failed to make it to the podium, Lin Xiaojun and the Chinese team together overcame all unfavorable objective factors and reached the top unstoppably.

  After the good news came out, social media was instantly detonated, and all kinds of congratulations followed.

Screenshots of netizens' comments.

  Not only did he perform brilliantly in this game, Lin Xiaojun's performance in the World Championships so far has "guaranteed quality and quantity".

  On the opening day of the World Championships on the 10th, Lin Xiaojun played five games a day, and his results were also remarkable, making him a "model worker".

He played in two rounds of men's 500m and 1000m individual events respectively, and passed smoothly.

In addition, in the mixed relay quarter-finals, the Chinese team composed of Lin Xiaojun, Zhong Yuchen, Wang Xinran and Zang Yize won second place in the group in 2:43.235 and advanced to the semi-finals.

  On the second match day, Lin Xiaojun still maintained a "high appearance rate" and "high quality".

He also played three shots in the men's 500m quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. Shortly after the 500m final, he appeared in the men's 5000m relay lineup and helped the Chinese team advance to the final.

  On the last day of the competition, he first played in the semi-finals of the men's 1000m, and then led the Chinese mixed relay team to advance to the final and won the silver. In the next men's 5000m relay, he finally led the team to win the gold!

  With the team gold medal in the World Championships, Lin Xiaojun's sports career has turned a new page, and his light once again shines in the sky of Seoul, South Korea.

He raised his hand to the audience outside the court, catching the eyes of the whole world, as if a returning ice king finally held his scepter again after four years.

harvest while waiting

  In such a long list of appearance records, it is easy to read the abnormality: a series of appearances in the men's 500m event, but there is no introduction to the results at the end, and the men's 1000m appearance record came to an abrupt end in the semifinals.

  Yes, in the two individual events, Lin Xiaojun failed to become the final winner in an almost "outrageous" way, which also caused Lin Xiaojun to wait until the last moment before climbing to the top on this ice in Seoul, South Korea .

  Well, the wait is over.

  If you open Weibo and send a private message to this freshly baked champion, you will get a reply like this: "Take dreams as horses and live up to this life! I hope my friends who support me will be happy!"

Lin Xiaoyu's personal social media auto-reply.

  "Take dreams as horses and live up to this life", these short eight words run through Lin Xiaojun's sports career.

"Become famous at a young age, but the pearl is dusty", the same short eight words are enough to sum up the embarrassment that this genius has encountered.

  Four years ago, the bizarre experience of the snow swallow on the ice falling from the clouds to the dust, but any audience who knew a little about Lin Xiaojun must have been familiar with it.

I won't repeat it because these pasts are insignificant, but those ups and downs have become the foreshadowing and footnote of the return of the king today.

  Also because the foreshadowing of "bizarre twists and turns" doesn't just stay in the past——

  On the 12th, the men's 500m final of the 2023 World Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships, Lin Xiaojun's most competitive individual event.

  In the previous knockout rounds, Lin Xiaojun achieved outstanding results in every game.

In the men's 500m qualifying competition, he won the first place in the group and advanced smoothly; in the men's 500m group match, he slid out 40 seconds 979, and the second place in the group advanced to the quarter-finals; after that, the men's 500m quarter-finals and semi-finals, Lin Xiaojun advanced to the first place in the group.

Lin Xiaojun waited for the penalty.

  In the final, Lin Xiaojun, who was the first to cross the finish line, had no results.

According to later accounts, he was given a foul for not wearing the required timer and was disqualified.

  This was a fierce match, but Lin Xiaojun's loss had nothing to do with his opponents on the field.

Lin Xiaoxuan, who learned the result after the game, was very disappointed and calm.

  Lin Xiaojun himself posted a post on Weibo in response to this matter: "After the 500-meter final crossed the line today, because I didn't wear a timer, I didn't have a timing result in the race. I missed the gold medal. I am really sorry. I am ashamed of those who have always supported me. Ice fans and my coach guarantee the team. I will be more prepared to participate in the next competition, please continue to believe in me, support me, and I will continue to work hard.”

  More than ten hours later, in the men's 1,000-meter race, he still has a chance to make up for his regrets.

After all, he has been waiting for four years.

Waiting for a moment is nothing.

After all, he has already returned to this piece of ice, and everything is in his own hands.

  But the accident happened again. After the men's 1000m semi-final on the 12th, after the opponent collided with Lin Xiaojun, his skating route was obviously disturbed, and he almost hit the protective wall, so he failed to enter the final.

However, the referee did not issue a penalty when two yellow lights were turned on at one point.

  He will continue to wait.

Wait for the next mixed relay semi-finals and men's relay finals.

Men's 1000m semi-final results.

  Lin Xiaojun once said in reply to netizens' comments that the hardest thing in sports career is waiting, and the happiest thing is competition.

  Waiting meaninglessly will make people despair, but dormant with dreams will give people endless power.

In keeping a low profile day after day, he silently changed the automatic reply on his personal social media to "working hard, please wait".

  Waiting for the wind to come is worse than chasing the wind, looking up to the light is worse than being the light, and those who are determined to move forward will be rewarded with a new start.

  Standing in front of the starting line again, Lin Xiaojun was no longer alone.

  In the semi-finals of the mixed team relay, the Chinese team sent a lineup of Gong Li, Li Wenlong, Lin Xiaojun, and Zang Yize to play. In the end, the Chinese team ranked first in the group with a time of 2:40.365 and advanced strongly to the Group A final.

  In the final, they narrowly lost the Dutch team by 0.175 seconds and won a silver medal.

  Lin Xiaoyu is still waiting.

  The last event of the day is the men's 5,000-meter relay.

The comrades around Lin Xiaoyu were replaced by Li Wenlong, Liu Guanyi, and Zhong Yuchen.

When they came out, the whole team uniformly made a boxing salute with Chinese characteristics.

  The Chinese team, which was first to serve first, did not let any accidents happen in the final. 7:04.412 is not outstanding for this team, but it is enough for them to reach the top in Seoul at the last moment of the 2023 World Championships.

  After experiencing countless surprises and waiting, Lim Hyo-jung won this gold medal, which has a special meaning to him, on the ice in Seoul.

  This time, he was no longer alone, and he was on the podium twice, accompanied by his teammates.

In the auditorium, someone held the banner of "Take dreams as horses and live up to this life". Beside him are his teammates who, like him, are looking forward to raising the five-star red flag and playing the March of the Volunteers.

  A strong wind can blow up a blank sheet of paper, but it cannot blow away a butterfly, because the power of life lies in disobedience.

  11 years ago, on this land, Lin Xiaojun stood out as a dark horse; 4 years ago, on this land, Lin Xiaojun experienced a severe career crisis; today, on the same land, Lin Xiaojun and his teammates fight side by side, Break down all obstacles.

  The tides come and go, but the ocean is always the ocean.
