Lin would go on to compete at the Asian Athletics Championships that year. At the competition, Lin broke his track spikes after his second jump, but he was able to recover because his secret was bringing two pairs of running shoes to every meet.[3] He defeated Indian favorite Murali Sreeshankar and became the third Taiwanese athlete in any sport to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[4] Lin's winning mark of 8.40 m was also a Taiwanese record. "I know he is a good jumper, still it was a surprise for me", commented Sreeshankar about Lin after his loss.[6]
Lin competed in his first World Championships later that summer in Budapest, but he only achieved a best of 7.45 m in qualifying and did not advance to the final.[2] At the Asian Games the following month, Lin qualified for the long jump final and finished 5th with a 7.91 m mark. He also competed in the 4 × 100 m relay, where his team finished 6th in the final.[2]
