ShortTtrack Speed Track Kim Geon-woo Wins World Cup 1500m Gold Medal in China Beating Chinese Athlete







In China, he beat a Chinese player and won. Short track national team member Kim Geon-woo (25, Sports Toto) won gold medals in three consecutive 1500m World Cup competitions.

Kim Geon-woo was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 2 minutes 18.934 seconds in the men's 1500m final of the 3rd competition of the 2023-2024 International Skating Union (ISU) World Cup held at the Capital Gymnasium in Beijing, China on the 9th.

Kim Geon-woo, who won the first 1,000m cross-country race last October, won the gold medal in the second 1,500m race at the second competition and took the top spot in three consecutive competitions.

He also maintained his first place in the 1500m rankings this season.

Kim Geon-woo ranked first in Group 3 in the semifinals and advanced to the finals along with second-place Jang Seong-woo (21, Korea University).

In Korea, three athletes participated in the final race, including Park Ji-won (27, Seoul City Hall).

At the beginning of the game, Park Ji-won fought for the lead, while Kim Geon-woo maintained middle rank.

Park Ji-won, who was in the lead with three laps left, collided with Canada's William Danjinu and stumbled. Meanwhile, Kim Geon-woo and Lee Wen-rong (China) struck out. Kim Geon-woo, who was running behind Lee Wen-rong, succeeded in overtaking the long-term outdoor course with half a lap left and finished in first place. Park Ji-won ranked 5th, and Jang Seong-woo ranked 6th.

Kim Geon-woo is a promising player who was selected as a member of the national team during his time at Seohyun High School in 2015. There was a long gap after that, but after 4 years and 3 months, he is wearing the Taegeuk symbol and is performing very well this season.

It is highly likely that he will win a medal at the 4th competition held at the Mokdong Ice Rink in Seoul next week.

In the women's division, Kim Gil-li (19, Seongnam City Hall) once again proved to be the best. Kim Gil-li beat Gong Li (China) in the women's 1500m final with a time of 2 minutes 25.830 seconds.

She also won gold in the 1000m 2nd race in the first event and Kim Gil-li, who won gold in the 1500m 1st race in the second event, also won gold for her third consecutive event.

Kim Gil-li, who emerged as her ace after Choi Min-jung did not participate in her national team selection this season, is racing to the top of her World Cup overall rankings.

In the first race of the women's 500m, Christine Santos Griswold (USA) won the gold medal, beating Pan Kessin (China).

Seo Hwi-min placed 2nd in the B final and finished 7th. In the men's division, Jordan Pierre Gill (Canada) took first place.

Liu Xiaoang (China) and Lin Xiaojun (Chinese/Korean name Lim Hyojun) ran in first and second places, but Lin Xiaojun fell and Liu Xiaoang was caught. Lin Xiaojun was disqualified, and Liu Xiaoang came in fourth place.

In the 2000m mixed relay, the Netherlands defeated China, which had won the first and second competitions.
