China's men's short track relay team delivered a nail-biting performance to claim silver at the ISU World Tour's Gdansk stop on November 23, 2025, marking their second podium finish of the season. The quartet of Lin Xiaojun, Sun Long, and brothers Liu Shaoang and Liu Shaolin demonstrated strategic brilliance in a final that saw four teams exchange leads 14 times.
After dominating earlier rounds, the Chinese skaters executed precise overtakes against the Republic of Korea team in the closing laps. A dramatic collision involving Italy and the Netherlands in the final stretch nearly disrupted China's momentum, but officials later upheld their second-place finish following video review.
This result builds on Lin's individual silver in the 500m event earlier in the competition, signaling a strong recovery for the veteran skater. The World Tour now moves to Dordrecht, Netherlands, for its final 2025 season event from November 28-30, where China aims to close its campaign with upgraded hardware.
