The mixed relay, which will make its debut at the Olympics, will be held today for the first time among short track tracks.
It is a race of two men and four men, running over 2,000 meters in a row, and requires sprinting throughout the race, from the first runner to the last runner.
Our team is preparing for a decisive battle with six mixed relay entries including male and female aces Choi Min-jung and Hwang Dae-heon, as well as Kim A-rang, Lee Yu-bin, Lee Jun-seo, and Park Jang-hyuk.
A strong competitor is the home team China, which coach Kim Seon-tae, who coached our team at the Pyeongchang Olympics, and Victor Ahn and Hyun-soo Ahn joined as coaching staff.
[Hwang Dae-heon/Short Track National Team: If you show everything you have prepared, I believe that your results will follow you well, and if you do short track, I will try my best to make the word Korea come out again.
] From the first day onwards, if we open up the gold chain for medals, our team's medal hunting will be further boosted.
Our squad's oldest athlete at 41, Chae-Won Lee, cross-country competed today in the women's 15km skiathlon, making her 6th consecutive Winter Olympics stage.
The players who arrived later than the main camp also started full-scale adaptation training.
Cha Jun-hwan, a male figure skater who competes in the Olympics for the second time in a row, trained for the first time with coach Brian Orser, and speed skater Seung-hoon Lee, who is challenging for the 6th medal, the most in the history of a Korean athlete at the Winter Olympics, also started adapting to the ice quality of the Olympic track.
