South Korean Lim Hyo-jun, one of the world s top short-track speed skaters, hopes to compete for Team China at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics after completing the naturalization process to change nationality, according to Yonhap news agency.
The 24-year-old, who won the 1,500m gold medal and the 500m bronze at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, is reportedly concerned he will not be able to represent South Korea in 2022 because of a legal battle he is fighting in his native country. By Sunday afternoon, the Chinese Skating Association had not responded to the reports.
