All speculations about Liu Brothers are clear now. They will participate Chinese national championships on 2023/03/31-2023/04/02 and represented Team Tianjin where their father is from. This event is

Well, it was good while it lasted, the Liu brother will chance their nationality, they won't race under the :HUN flag anymore. It's not official which country they will chose, but it's pretty obvious that :CHN finally got them. I honestly thought that this will happen before Beijing 2022, so I am just glad that we had them for this long and won 2 gold medals with them. It is what it is, Hungarian short track will never ever be as successful as it was with them. I doubt that we will see any Hungarian medals at the Winter Games in the near future. 

 

Edit: Congrats @Vic Liu, you will have an even stronger short track team if they will indeed go to your country.

Also this is a very obvious sign: Hungarian sport is dying. The entire country is dying, Orbán has run to the ground and that will have consequences. We won't be able to sustain our sport because we aren't even able to sustain our own country. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if more Hungarian athletes will change nationality, we have lost the Liu brothers in short track and Rapport in chess, this feels like only the beginning. Honestly, @heywoodu, watch out for Vas changing nationality in a few years because Hungarian cycling will be one of the earliest to go down. And that's just an example.

I am quite shock to hear about this. At least it's never reported in China even no discussion about the possibility and feasibility. Well I respect their choice in either way and I will update the progress if I see any news from China side.

 

Edited in 1 hour: News goes fast. Chinese fans also noticed this shocking news through the IG account below. Don't know how trustworthy it is yet. It's too good to be true still.

I posted about it a few weeks ago in the World Cup thread. Seeing the website I found the article on, I would have expected that more sources reported on it in China.

I didn’t notice this news before but Chinese short track fans always knew this. Liu Brothers trained in China before so no one link this to naturalization and thought they just kept training with familiar coach Zhang Jing. Until today the possible naturalization become big news.

 

Here’s meme image of Chinese fans reaction:

All rivals becoming teammates

      Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.

      Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.

      Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig

      2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.

      Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.

      Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
