What will happen to the Liu brothers?

Actually, it was the Liu brothers who discovered the Chinese coach. They met her when they were still young children training for a year and a half in China. – reports nemzetisport.hu. Soon, they formed a strong bond. In fact, the Liu brothers asked the leaders of the association to sign Lina to the MOKSZ. She has won many medals for Hungary with the brothers. For example, Liu Shaoang’s individual victory in the 500m is one of their most remarkable successes. Magyar Nemzet has asked the MOSZK for some information on the details of Lina Zhang’s departure. The answer was the following: “Thank you for your interest, here are the answers: Zhang Jing Lina did not inform our association about her new position. Of course, our association did their best to keep the coach, but she wanted to continue her work in her own country.”

The Liu brothers have not yet responded to the questions concerning their future. However, they have started preparing. Even in the midst of the chaos, Liu Shaolin and Shaoang have been training in Bormio at an international training camp.
