I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break at a bubble tea shop downtown when Lin Xiaojun’s post popped up – that determined face in his Team China uniform, captioned with the Olympic qualifier announcement. My first thought? ‘Finally, some good news!’ My second? ‘I hope the highlights won’t buffer like last time.’
Remember when we’d gather around the TV during the 2018 Winter Games? The smell of instant noodles mixing with nervous excitement as skaters raced around the rink. Now, trying to watch from overseas feels like waiting for a text message that never delivers properly – you get the notification, but the content takes forever to load, if it loads at all.
Lin’s journey hits different when you’re following from another timezone. That moment when he switched from representing South Korea to China? I was refreshing my feed every five minutes, only to get ‘This content is not available in your region’ half the time. It’s like hearing your favorite song cut out right before the chorus.
My cousin back in Beijing sent me a voice message yesterday: ‘You’re missing all the good stuff! The training videos, the behind-the-scenes…’ She included a screenshot of Lin’s latest practice session – him perfecting that signature cornering technique. Of course, when I clicked the link, it just spun endlessly. Typical.
There’s something special about winter sports athletes though. Maybe it’s the way they make sliding on ice at insane speeds look effortless, or how they recover from crashes that would keep most of us in bed for weeks. Lin’s particular story – overcoming injuries, changing national teams, now heading to his third Olympics – feels like watching a drama where you genuinely cheer for the underdog.
When the qualifiers start next month, I’ll probably be doing what I always do: messaging friends in different countries to see who can actually stream it, settling for grainy clips someone recorded on their phone, and refreshing Twitter for real-time updates. It’s not perfect, but it’s our version of gathering around that television together.
So to all my fellow overseas fans trying to follow Lin’s Olympic journey – I see you, trying three different VPNs just to watch a 30-second clip. Here’s hoping this season, the only thing moving faster than the buffering circle is Lin on that ice.
