From heartbreak to triumph ⚡: Chinese speed skater Lin Xiaojun just rewrote the record books by winning every men's individual event at the World Short Track Championships in Rotterdam! 🎉
Dubbed 'the 500m curse' after narrowly missing gold in his signature event for years, Lin finally shattered expectations this weekend – even as critics doubted his form following injuries and a medal-less Winter Games last month. 🩹💪
\"This feels like completing a puzzle I've worked on forever,\" Lin told reporters post-race, clutching the 500m gold that once seemed out of reach. His victory lap? A masterclass in resilience that's got Gen Z fans calling it the ultimate underdog story 🐺➡️🏆.
Fun fact: Lin's clean sweep marks the first time any skater has dominated all individual events at Worlds since 2018. Talk about #MainCharacterEnergy! 🔥
