The eldest sister of the women's short track team, A-Rang Kim, returned the Taegeuk mark for the next season.
A-Rang Kim's agency, Ricoh Agency, said, "A-Rang Kim has decided not to participate in the short track national short track race in early May to be held in early May to rehabilitate her chronic knee injury."
A-Rang Kim said through her agency, "Her injury has lasted for a long time, so she has decided to focus on her recovery and rehabilitation. The new season will not be able to play for the national team, but she will be able to recover well until the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. I will continue the challenge,” he said.
A-Rang Kim jointly won gold medals as a relay member of the women's short track national team at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics she won a silver medal in the women's 3,000m relay.
