话题冲上热搜

据中新网报道，匈牙利滑冰协会网站于上周二发文，短道速滑名将刘少林、刘少昂请求匈牙利滑冰协会的同意，以启动他们变更国籍的进程。

The Hungarian National Skating Association (MOKSZ) last Tuesday posted a statement on its website confirming that the Liu brothers had officially filed the applications.

根据声明显示，在北京冬奥会之后，刘氏兄弟愿意继续在匈牙利国家队教练张晶（Lina）教练的指导下备战。不过，张晶收到祖国中国的邀请，担任短道速滑国家队教练。希望终止和匈牙利国家队的合约。

"After the Beijing Olympics, the brothers indicated that they would definitely like to continue to prepare under the guidance of Zhang Jing (Lina), the head coach of the national team. Unfortunately, Lina, at her request, had to terminate her indefinite contract, given that she had received an offer that was hard to turn down from the federation of her home country, China, for the position of head coach of the Chinese speed skating team," read a translated statement from the Hungarian association.

刘氏兄弟申请变更国籍，但是没有明确提出要变更为哪个国家。

The brothers requested the consent of Hungary’s federation to switch countries, though they did not name the country, according to the federation.

张晶教练在今年夏天回国后，刘氏兄弟也出现在北京的中国队基地进行训练。

Right after Zhang moved back to China this summer, the Liu brothers were spotted training at the Chinese national team's base in Beijing.

据匈牙利滑冰协会介绍，根据国际滑冰联盟相关规定，变更国籍后的12个月不能参加国际滑联比赛。

Any skater wishing to change countries must be granted a release from their original country and sit out competition for 12 months, according to the federation, citing International Skating Union rules.

一天后的11月10日，匈牙利滑冰协会网站发文，同意刘少林刘少昂更改国籍。

目前张晶和中国队方面没有做出回应。

Both Zhang and the Chinese skating association have yet to respond to the news about the Liu brothers.

刘氏兄弟出生于匈牙利布达佩斯，父亲是中国人，母亲是匈牙利人。根据媒体报道，当申请完成后，两人有望代表中国队参赛。

Born in Budapest to a Chinese father and a Hungarian mother, the Liu brothers are expected to skate under the Chinese flag should their applications be approved.

据北青体育报道，北京青年报记者几经辗转，联系到了刘氏兄弟的母亲，她给出明确的答复：“是的，入籍中国。”另据北青体育援引匈牙利媒体报道，匈牙利国家滑冰联合会主席拉霍斯-科萨接受采访谈到此事，透露自己无法劝说刘氏兄弟留下来，也不会强行阻拦，但刘氏兄弟需要支付一笔赔偿金。每人的赔偿费用约在1-1.5亿匈牙利福林（约合人民币180-270万元）。

在张晶的指导下，刘氏兄弟在2018年平昌奥运会上获得短道速滑男子5000米接力冠军，这是匈牙利首枚冬奥金牌。刘少昂则在北京冬奥会上获得短道速滑男子500米决赛冠军。

Under the guidance of Zhang, known as Lina in Hungary, the Liu brothers led the Hungarian men's team to its first short-track Olympic gold medal when they triumphed in the 5,000m relay final at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games in South Korea. Liu Shaoang, the younger of the brothers, continued his golden momentum by winning the men's 500m title at the Beijing Winter Olympics in February.
