South Korea's short track track record, which suffered from biased judgments and injuries at the Beijing Winter Olympics, is re-challenging to win the gold medal in the men's 1,500m on the 9th.



South Korea has never made it to the final in the three events of the short track mixed relay and the women's 500m and men's 1,000m that were held earlier.



In the mixed relay on the 5th and the women's 500m quarterfinals on the 7th, I fell during the race, and on the 7th, in the men's 1,000m, I became a victim of bias.



At that time, Hwang Dae-heon and Lee Jun-seo seemed to pass the semi-finals as 1st and 2nd place respectively in their group, but they were disqualified after a lane change violation was declared.



In the place where two Korean players were disqualified, two Chinese players advanced to the final instead, and the Hungarian player crossed the finish line first in the final, but the Chinese players took gold and silver medals due to a foul during the race.



Korea and Hungary appealed the decision to the International Skating Union (ISU), but the result did not change.



However, due to the objection of the two countries, there is a forecast that the ISU will judge today's match carefully.



Our players trained yesterday in a relatively bright atmosphere and prepared for today's match.



Park Jang-hyuk, who injured his left finger during the men's 1,000m quarterfinals and had 11 stitches, will check his injury and decide whether to participate in the 1,500m race.



Today's medals are only awarded in men's 1,500m, but women's 1,000m quarterfinals and women's 3,000m relay semifinals will also be held.



In the ski event, two 'superstars' of the US national team compete side by side.



First of all, in the women's snowboard halfpipe qualifier, Korean athlete Chloe Kim will appear.



Chloe Kim, the gold medalist at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, will go through the preliminary rounds today and challenge for the second consecutive Olympic gold medal in the final tomorrow.



In the women's alpine skiing event, the active alpine World Cup record holder Michaela Shifrin, who holds the record for most wins (73 wins), is aiming to retake the supremacy for the first time in eight years since the 2014 Sochi Games.



In the 7-day tournament, she was aiming for a second straight win following the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, but she fell during the first round.
