Shim Seok-hee was disqualified after collided with Choi Min-jeong, who was about to overtake in the women's 1,000m final at the Pyeongchang Olympics.



However, the suspicion of 'intentional collision' arose belatedly as a text message of Shim Seok-hee, which contained content that could be suspected of intentionality, was recently released to the media.



The Ice Skating Federation established an investigation committee and announced the results after 40 days of investigation.



First, it was revealed that Shim Suk-hee had an intention in pushing Choi Min-jung.

However, he explained that he did not know because of the lack of evidence whether this act was intentionally trying to knock Choi Min-jung down.



Bradbury, who won the gold medal by falling all the previous runners, was mentioned in Shim Suk-hee's text message, but it is difficult to determine whether this situation was intentional.

The investigation committee said that Shim Seok-hee completely denied the allegation of intentional collision during the face-to-face investigation, but admitted that he had demeaned colleagues and coaches through SNS.



The Ice Skating Federation will hold a fair committee meeting soon to discuss disciplinary action, and it is expected that Shim Suk-hee's participation in the Beijing Olympics will be decided according to the result.
