The Korea Skating Union said on the 24th, “The 39th National Men’s and Women’s Short Track Speed Skating Competition was held at the Jeonju Volcanic Gymnasium from the 21st to the 24th,” adding, “The men’s and women’s 500m, 1,000m, 1,500m, 3,000m, and relay events were held.”

Choi Min-jeong stood out in this competition by far. Choi, who won gold medals in the 2018 PyeongChang and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, did not compete in selection matches for the national team for the 2023-2024 season to prepare for the 2026 Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo Winter Olympics.

Choi Min-jeong briefly put down her national team activities for the first time since 2014 to hone new skills along with changing equipment such as skate boots and blades.

Choi Min-jeong, who had been focusing on individual training, competed in her first official game this season through the 2nd Prime Minister’s Cup National Men’s and Women’s Short Track Competition held last month, and took third place in the 1,500m to start her return to the Taegeuk mark.

Choi Min-jeong also finished second in the 1,500m final held on the 21st in the presidential cup, the second competition of this season, and won her first gold medal in the 500m final on the 22nd. 메이저 토토사이트

However, Choi Min-jeong improved her condition by winning the 500-meter final with a time of 45.983 seconds, beating Shin Sae-bom (Gyeonggi General, 46.123) by 0.140 seconds.

Meanwhile, in the men’s general category, Lee Do-jin (Hwaseong City Hall) won two gold medals, winning both 500 m and 1,000 m. Male godfather Gam Tae-sung (Dankook University) and female godfather Kim Lia (Korea National Sports University) also won two gold medals (500 m and 1,000 m), respectively.
