Kim Gil-li of the women's short track team poses after winning the 1500m gold medal at the World Championships.
Kim Gil-li (20, Seongnam City Hall), the 'next-generation ace' of women's short track racing who won the world championship stage following the World Cup, expressed her determination to win the Olympic gold medal, which is her next goal.
Gilly Kim crossed the finish line first among the seven participants with a time of 2 minutes 21.192 seconds in the women's 1500m final at the 2024 International Skating Union (ISU) World Short Track Championships held in Rotterdam, Netherlands on the 16th (local time).
Gilly Kim, who was in third place until the last lap, showed off her potential and took first place.
After the game, Kim Gil-li said, “I’m so happy and happy,” and added, “It’s my first World Championships gold medal, so it’s a different feeling from previous World Cup gold medals.”
He continued, “I am grateful to my parents and younger brother who came all the way to watch the game, and I am happy and fortunate that I was able to show a good performance. I am also grateful to my team’s coach and fans who supported me in Korea.”
Kim Gil-li enjoyed the honor of winning the women's division overall by sweeping seven gold medals and three silver medals in this season's World Cup series. She then continued her momentum at the Open World Championships by winning her first individual gold medal in her first event.
Gilly Kim said, “I am satisfied with finishing in first place until the end of this season,” and added, “I will not give up until the end in the remaining games and will do my best to show a great performance.” At the same time, he also revealed his aspirations for the final goal. Gilly Kim said, “My biggest goal is to achieve good results the year I participate in the Olympics,” and expressed his determination, “I will do my best to achieve that goal.” Meanwhile, Ji-won Park (28, Seoul City Hall) and Dae-heon Hwang (25, Gangwon Provincial Office) participated in the men's 1,500m race held on the same day, but the two athletes collided in the final and did not win the gold medal.
Park Ji-won, a member of the men's short track team, is being interviewed after failing to win the 1500m World Championships for the second time in a row.
With three laps left, Hwang Dae-heon increased his speed and even passed Park Ji-won, who was in the lead.
However, in the process, as he entered the in-course, he seemed to be pushing Park Ji-won, and Park Ji-won, whose speed was dead, fell behind.
Hwang Dae-heon crossed the finish line in first place, but was disqualified. Park Ji-won, who was pushed to the rear due to a collision with Hwang Dae-heon, ranked 6th. After the game, Hwang Dae-heon said, “I tried my best, but the result was disappointing.” He added, “I felt sorry for (Park) Ji-won, so I immediately apologized.” He added, “There are some remaining events, so we will do our best to show a better performance.” Park Ji-won also said, “I don’t want to think about (the 1,500m race) because there are races left,” and “I will finish the remaining races well.” 고스톱사이트
