Short track Hwang Dae-heon clashes with Park Ji-won in the 500m race for the first round of the national team



Hwang Dae-heon raced with Park Ji-won in the second group of the men's 500m semi-finals of the first short track national short track competition in the 2024-2025 season at Mokdong Indoor Ice Rink in Seoul on the 6th.

Immediately after starting the game, Park Jang-hyuk (Sports Toto) took the lead, and Park Ji-won came in second. Hwang Dae-heon followed Park Ji-won.

The collision between Hwang Dae-heon and Park Ji-won took place in the process of going around the last curved line on the first lap. There was a collision between Hwang Dae-heon and Park Ji-won, who were passing by the in-course.

Park Ji-won lost his balance momentarily and fell and hit the fence.

Hwang crossed the finish line for the second time, following Park Jang-hyuk, after a fierce battle for the lead. Park got back up and continued the race, but finished bottom of Group 2.

Hwang Dae-heon, who was not judged as a penalty, succeeded in advancing to the final as second in the group. Park Ji-won failed to go to the final.

At the World Championships held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands last month, Hwang Dae-heon was at the center of controversy for twice fouling Park Ji-won.

Hwang caused a collision when he tried to overtake Park Ji-won, who was leading the men's 1,500-meter final, with an in-course run. Park, who slowed down after colliding with Hwang, was the latest among the seven to enter the finish line, and Hwang was disqualified.

A similar scene was created in the 1,000-meter final. Park, who was in second place, overtook Hwang Dae-heon with three laps to go. Then, Hwang grabbed Park's thigh.

Hwang Dae-heon was disqualified for another penalty, and Park Ji-won failed to finish the race.

The Korea Skating Union conducted its own investigation and concluded that Hwang Dae-heon was not intentional when the controversy arose.

The previous day, the two did not race in a group at 1,500 meters. On the day, both Hwang and Park competed in a group as they reached the semifinals, but there were clashes again.

Park Ji-won, who failed to win a gold medal at the World Championships after winning the men's overall title of the ISU Short Track World Cup Series in the 2023-2024 season following the 2022-2023 season, finished second in the 1,500m, but failed to add a point as she failed to reach the final on the day.

Park Ji-won has to make up for the 1,000-meter race on the 7th.

In the men's 500 meter race, veteran Lee Jung-soo (Seoul Metropolitan Government), born in 1989, won the title with a time of 41.18 seconds. Kim Gun-woo (Sports Toto) came in second with a time of 41.218, and Kim Tae-sung (Seoul Metropolitan Government) came in third with a time of 41.225.

Kim Geon-woo, who won the 1,500-meter race on the previous day, led the first round up to 500-meter race. Lee Jung-soo is in second place.

Shim Suk-hee (Seoul Metropolitan Government) won the women's 500m final with a time of 43.749.

Shim Suk-hee, who won the 500m after 1,500m the previous day, took the lead in the first round of selection.

Choi Min-jeong (Seongnam City Hall), the short track queen who briefly put down the national flag in the 2023-2024 season to hone her new skills, ranked third with a time of 43.912 seconds in the 500m final.

Lee So-yeon (Sports Toto) came in second with a time of 43.892 seconds.

The national team selection match for the 2024-2025 season will be held from the 5th to the 7th, and the 2nd from the 11th to the 12th.

In the women's team, Kim Ki-li (Seongnam City Hall), who won the ISU World Cup Series overall in the 2023-2024 season and won the 1,500m gold medal at the World Championships, has been automatically selected.
