Chinese short track speed skater Sun Long, reigning world champion in the men's 1,500 meters, is channeling past setbacks into future glory. In an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Talk Sports, the 24-year-old opened up about his emotional journey since a devastating fall during the 2022 Beijing Winter Games relay final. 🌟
Remember his tearful social media apology spree? 💔 'I carried that moment with me,' Sun admitted. But instead of folding under criticism about his 'inexperience,' he and his coach overhauled their training strategy. The result? A stunning comeback on the ISU World Tour circuit. 🚀
Sun credits teamwork, family support, and relentless grit for his revival. 'The national team feels like family,' he shared, hinting at high hopes for the 2026 Winter Olympics. But first: redemption at February’s Harbin Asian Winter Games. ❄️🔥
Pro tip from Sun: 'Every fall teaches you how to glide faster.' 🧊💪
