Only one gold for , the best short track speed skating nation in the world. Just 5 years ago, they won 7 gold (4 silver and 1 bronze). This is the lowest number of gold medals for South Korea since 2001 when they won zero in Jeonju (when China won 9 gold medals).
Men's 5.000m Relay:
Gold: China
Silver: South Korea
Bronze: Poland
China dominating the men's tournament and winning the medal table with their 4th gold medal, surprising bronze for Poland
Just like in the men's 1.500m final, Park and Hwang hinder each other when they're skating in first and second place in the A final and again no medals for them.
Women's 1.000m:
Gold: Kristen Santos-Griswald
Silver: Kim Gilli
Bronze: Arianna Fontana
Santos-Griswold completes the set after her silver medal on the 1.500m and her bronze medal yesterday on the 500m. She also finished first in the 1.000m world cup final standings this season, right before Kim Gilli.
I think this is Fontana's 18th World Championship medal, after already winning 11 Olympic medals and 76 World Cup medals. What a legend!
In the women's 1.000m final, 3 of the 5 skaters ( Kim, Santos-Griswold and Schulting) fell together. Desmet finishes in first place, Fontana in second, Schulting gets up first and finishes in third, but no way these will be the final standings.
Men's 1.500m:
Gold: Sun Long
Silver: Jens van 't Wout
Bronze: Brendan Corey
Hwang Daeheon initially finished first, but hindered his compatriot Park Ji Won, eliminating both when riding in first and second during the race
Very surprising podium with Sun (World Ranking: 20th), van 't Wout (26th) and Corey (29th)!
