<Anchor> The
men's short track team also won a valuable silver medal in the Olympic relay for the first time in 12 years.
I had a torn hand and my ankle hurt, but from the eldest to the youngest, all the players united and wrote another history.
Next, reporter Ha Seong-ryong will deliver from Beijing.
<Reporter> The
national team, which entered the ice with strong shouts, took the lead in the relay final in which five teams participated.
From No. 1 runner Park Jang-hyeok, who fought 'injury fighting spirit', to Kwak Yoon-ki, Lee Jun-seo, and Hwang Dae-heon, they maintained the 1st place until 19 laps were left in the tight race.
However, while Yoongi Kwak was stalled due to the misfortune of overlapping his skate blades while rounding the corner, he allowed Canada to overtake it.
The players bowed their heads for a while in regret, but immediately held hands again, and even Kim Dong-wook, who was in the semifinals, all embraced each other.
Athletes who had harvested a silver medal for the first time in 12 years after losing the no medal in the relay relay in the past two competitions held a Taegeukgi ceremony around the ice.
[Hwang Dae-heon/Short track national team: I think there was such a valuable result because I met so many good colleagues, and the color ( medal
) is more precious than the important thing, and I am so happy that this moment is happy.]
The eldest, 33-year-old Yoongi Kwak, performed a delightful 'Last Dance' on the podium.
[Kwak Yoon-gi / Short track national team: This Olympic stage was a very meaningful place for me.
I have no regrets today, as it seems that all the juniors, including myself, did everything they wanted to do on the ice.]
Our short track team reaffirmed the status of a short track powerhouse by winning 2 gold medals and 3 silver medals in this competition despite a series of bad news. I did.
