Short track Park Ji-won, 2nd place in 1500m in the first national team selection Hwang Dae-heon's disappointment in making it to the finals

Kim Geon-woo took first place in the men's 1500m, Shim Seok-hee won the women's 1500m Choi Min-jeong 5th place

Korean men's short track ace Park Ji-won (Seoul City Hall) ranked second in the men's 1500m on the first day of the first round of national team selection.

Park Ji-won ranked second with a time of 2 minutes 19.400 seconds in the men's 1500m final at the 2024-2025 season short track national team first selection competition held at the Mokdong Indoor Ice Rink in Seoul on the 5th.

Kim Geon-woo (Sports Toto) won the championship with a time of 2 minutes 19.236 seconds.

Park Ji-won, who passed the preliminaries, quarterfinals, and semifinals in first place in her group, took the lead in the finals by overtaking on the outcourse midway through the race.

Afterwards, Park Ji-won, who was in second place after Lee Jeong-soo (Seoul City Hall), attempted to overtake the in-course. At this time, his balance was slightly shaken, but he gave up the lead to Kim Geon-woo, who did not miss the opportunity and dug into the in-course. 스포츠 토토사이트

Park Ji-won has been in second place ever since, but was unable to beat Kim Geon-woo.

Dojin Lee (Hwaseong City Hall) came to the finish line in 3rd place. Park Ji-won is the national team ace who won the men's overall championship in the International Skating Union (ISU) Short Track World Cup Series in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons. If Park Ji-won won the gold medal at the 2024 ISU Short Track World Championships held last month, he could maintain the Taegeuk mark for the 2024-2025 season without going through the selection competition. Among the athletes who won gold medals in one or more individual events at the Short Track World Championships, the federation automatically selects one man and one woman with the best performance as the national team for the next season. Park Ji-won won two gold medals at last year's World Championships and was automatically selected as a member of the national team for the 2023-2024 season. However, at this year's World Championships, he failed to win a medal after being fouled by teammate Hwang Dae-heon (Gangwon Provincial Office) in the men's 1500m and 1000m finals. This competition is very important for Park Ji-won, who faced fierce competition in the selection process. Park Ji-won has not yet been able to resolve his military service issue as he has been eliminated from the national team selection competition for the Asian Winter Games and Olympic seasons due to bad luck. If Park Ji-won wears the Taegeuk mark in the 2024-2025 season and wins a gold medal at the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games, he will be eligible for military service benefits. If he does not win a gold medal at the Harbin Asian Winter Games, Park Ji-won, born in 1996, cannot be guaranteed to participate in the 2026 Milan/Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics due to military service issues. Hwang Dae-heon, who was at the center of the 'team kill controversy', passed both the preliminaries and quarterfinals as first place in his group, but was ranked 5th in group 3 in the semifinals and did not advance to the finals. In the women's 1500m final, Shim Seok-hee (Seoul City Hall) took first place with a time of 2 minutes 55.675 seconds. Short track queen Choi Min-jeong (Seongnam City Hall), who temporarily put down the Taegeuk mark for the 2023-2024 season to hone new skills, ranked 5th with a time of 2 minutes 55.919 seconds. Do-hee Noh (Hwaseong City Hall), Ji-yoon Park (Seoul City Hall), and Geon-hee Kim (Seongnam City Hall) ranked 2nd to 4th. The 2024-2025 season national team selection competition will be held on the 5th and 7th with the first round and the 2nd round on the 11th and 12th. In the first selection, 500m, 1,000m, and 1,500m races will be held, and the top 24 men and women will advance to the second selection by adding up the points according to ranking. By adding up the points from the first and second selection rounds, eight men and seven women will be selected as national team members for the next season. In the women's division, Kim Gil-li (Seongnam City Hall), who won the overall championship in the 2023-2024 season ISU World Cup Series and won the 1500m gold medal at the World Championships, was automatically selected. In this selection, the top three in the men's division and the top two in the women's division will be given priority entry to the individual competition at the international competition. 온라인 슬롯
