Next-generation short track ace Kim Gil-li wins the 1,500m 2nd World Cup competition
The men’s and women’s 500m and mixed relay failed to win medals.
Kim Gil-li (Seongnam City Hall), the next-generation ace of the short track women’s national team, succeeded in winning gold medals in two consecutive World Cup competitions.
Gilly Kim won the final of the first women’s 1,500m race at the 2023-2024 ISU Short Track World Cup held in Montreal, Canada on the 29th (Korean time) with a time of 2 minutes 34.588 seconds.
Kim Gil-li, winner of the women’s 1,000m in the first competition, continued her golden run in this competition and maintained her No. 1 spot in the World Cup rankings. 카지노
Gilly Kim maintained her lead from the beginning and dominated her race.
He began to increase his speed with 4 laps left before the finish line, and thanks to his strong stamina, he was able to comfortably outrun his competitors and was the first to cross the finish line.
Christine Santos-Griswold (USA) took second place.
The first race of the men’s 1,500m was disappointing.
Hwang Dae-heon (Gangwon Provincial Office), winner of the same event in the first World Cup competition, and Kim Geon-woo (Sports Toto), winner of the men’s 1,000m in the first competition, won silver and bronze medals, respectively.
The two athletes looked for an opportunity in the middle of the race and started chasing with three laps left before the finish line.
They tried to turn the tables on the last lap, but failed to overtake William Dungenow (Canada), who was in the lead.
They failed to win a medal in the men’s and women’s 500m, which is a weak event.
None of the Korean players reached the final stage.
Chinese national team member Lin Xiaojun (Korean name Lim Hyojun), who became a naturalized citizen in Korea, won the bronze medal in the men’s 500m.
Korea also failed to win a medal in the mixed relay team of Dae-heon Hwang, Ji-won Park (Seoul City Hall), Gil-li Kim, and Seok-hee Shim (Seoul City Hall).
The national team crossed the finish line in second place after China, but received a penalty and failed to advance.
This was because it was ruled that Daeheon Hwang had pushed the Italian athlete with three laps left before the finish line.
Dae-heon Hwang received a yellow card (YC) for pushing Park Ji-won from behind in the men’s 1,000m final at the first World Cup competition, and a penalty was issued in this competition as well.
The winner was China, in which Lin Xiaojun participated.
Lin Xiaojun was China’s last runner, crossed the finish line first, and roared with clenched fists.
