Oh I see, Ive been watching some of the Chinese male sht trk speed racing at the Olympic games and theres a pare of brothers representing Hungry with a western first name,andmiddle name which sounded like Shaolin .....(and chinese sounding last name) and judging by his name,he must be Uighur.
Unfortunately many have been disqualified in the heats.

You mean Liu Shaoang 刘少昂 and Sandor Liu Shaolin 劉少林 on the Hungarian team?
Uighurs don't have Han last names, unless they change it. In this case he will be considered Han by Chinese standards as his father is most likely Han Chinese (last name Liu) and his mother is Hungarian. "Born to a Chinese father and Hungarian mother, he started the sport in 2006 and trained in China for a year."
"I started in 2006. I did one year of skating in Hungary first, and after that I went to China, because my dad is Chinese so we got some help. My brother Sandor [Shaolin Lui] and I trained there with coach Zhang Jing, who we call Lina."
"How is your relationship with Chinese speed skaters?
Of course we’re rivals on the ice, but outside of the track, we are good friends."
He speaks with a North Eastern accent, thus his father is likely from North Eastern China.
