So, Previtali doesn`t seem caliber of talent like Sighel?

Canada was the only non Asian country to medal and even one of our medallists is of Asian descent

not even close...

 

I hope he develops into a good skater, but Sighel's talent isn't something you often see on the track

The national team trials to determine South Korea’s short track representatives for the Milan Olympics are currently underway. This week features three races (500m / 1000m / 1500m), followed by another three races next week (500m / 1000m / 1500m). The combined points from all six races will decide who earns a spot on the Olympic team, and a major shake-up in the men’s lineup is expected. In the first week, Rim Jong Un—winner of three gold medals at the 2025 World Junior Championships—claimed victory in the 1500m, while Shin Dongmin—also a triple gold medalist from the 2024 Junior Worlds—won the 500m. Hwang Daehon, the 2022 Olympic gold medalist in the 1500m, finished second in both races and is on track to make his return to the national team. At this rate, it seems unlikely that we’ll see familiar names like Park Jiwon or Kim Gunwoo at the Olympics.
