At the Mass Start, which ran 16 laps on the 400m track, Jaewon Jeong and Seunghoon Lee competed in the mid-range until the last minute, conserving their stamina and running a seasoned race.



And as promised, with one lap left, Seung-Hoon Lee started the spurt first, and Jae-Won Jeong immediately followed.



Lee Seung-hoon digs into the in-course like he was from the short track, and minimizes his physical consumption to take the lead, and Jeong Jae-won also started chasing.



Seung-hoon Lee, who was leading the race even after entering the last straight line, was pursued by a fierce pursuit and sprinted with all his might, and Jae-won Jeong followed closely.



And Jaewon Jeong and Seunghoon Lee and Joy Mantia of the United States crossed the finish line almost simultaneously.



Jeong Jae-won took the silver medal with a short break, and Lee Seung-hoon took the bronze medal after reading photos with Mantia.



The two athletes, who won medals side by side, held hands and cheered by spreading the Taegeukgi together.



[Lee Seung-hoon/Speed ​​Skating National Team: It's such an honor, and it's the first time I've won a bronze medal in the Olympics.

So, now that the collection seems to have been made, I am happy and happy again.]



Jeong Jae-won, who helped Seung-hoon Lee's gold medal as a 'paced maker' in Pyeongchang four years ago, has grown dazzlingly and finally surpassed his seniors,



[Jung Jae-won/Speed ​​Skating National Team: This race was also my own race, and the result was me and Seung-hoon. Both of these hyungs came out well, so I'm really satisfied.]



Seunghoon Lee, 34 years old, has been on the podium for four consecutive competitions since Vancouver in 2010, setting a new record for the most medals in history with his sixth medal.



Korean speed skating finished all the Olympic races by sprinting to the last day and harvesting 4 valuable medals.
