Even after five thousand five hundred, Liu Shaoang was the fastest: the younger brother defended his world title at the World Figure Skating Championships in a short track in Montreal.

Another success in sports history – and double it!
Never before had a Hungarian short track speed skater won two World Championships in one day, nor had Hungarian skaters defended the World Cup title.
Here’s what happened in Montreal on Saturday: Liu Shuang did not find five hundred winners after winning a gold medal in the 1500 – by the way, the tenth round was the end, and no one could beat him.
Shaoang’s performance scores are really running out: in the finals, for example, he never bothered that he had to start from second place, he obviously finished first in the second round.
Liu Chawang can now look forward to Sunday as a four-time world champion – it’s a true classic, as we already knew, this Saturday in Montreal only solidified.
