Speed skating long-distance signboard Jeong Jae-won
Jaewon Jeong (22, Uijeongbu City Hall), a long-distance speed skating star, achieved his second consecutive victory in the mass start at the Four Continents Championships.
Jaewon Jeong beat Shomu Sasaki (8) in the men’s mass start at the 2023-2024 International Skating Union (ISU) Four Continents Speed Skating Championships held at the Utah Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City, Utah, on the 22nd (Korean time) with a record of 8 minutes 16.33 seconds. He crossed the finish line first, beating Japan at 16.43 minutes.
Jaewon Jeong won the gold medal with 60 sprint points.
Jaewon Jeong, who won the same event at the 2022-2023 season’s Four Continents Championships, continued his golden run this season and revealed his outlook for the 2026 Milan/Cortina d’Ampezzo Winter Olympics.
He is the second person to achieve two consecutive wins in the men’s mass start at the Four Continents Championships, following Eom Cheon-ho (Sports Toto).
Eom Cheon-ho lost twice in a row in the 2019-2020 season invitational competition and the 2nd competition held in the 2021-2022 season, and Jeong Jae-won took over the baton.
Jeong Jae-won, who was conserving his stamina at the rear, increased his speed on the last curve and followed closely behind Antoine Gelinas-Beaulieu (Canada), who was running in the lead.
Then, he sprinted at his full speed on the final straightaway and overcame a difficult battle to win the race.
Kim Min-seon sprinting
In the women’s 1,000m, Kim Min-seon (24, Uijeongbu City Hall) ranked third with a record of 1 minute 13.84 seconds, following Japan’s Miho Takagi (1 minute 12.35 seconds) and USA Kimi Koetsu (1 minute 12.65 seconds).
Kim Min-seon, who won a bronze medal in the women’s 500m, the main event the day before, finished this competition with two bronze medals.
This is a somewhat disappointing performance for Kim Min-seon, who won two gold medals in this competition last season.
Kim Min-seon, who ran with Japan’s Rio Yamada in the 8-inch course, finished the first 200 meters in 17.71 seconds, first place overall.
However, he passed the 600m section in 44.58 seconds, 3rd place overall, and failed to improve his ranking in the final 400m.
Lee Na-hyeon (Nowon High School), who also competed, ranked 6th with a personal best time of 1 minute 15.02 seconds.
Park Chae-eun (Korea National Sport University) also achieved a personal best of 1 minute 16.55 seconds and ranked 13th.
In the men’s 1,000m, Cho Sang-hyuk (Sports Toto) ranked 6th with 1 minute 8.04 seconds, Kim Tae-yoon (Seoul City Hall) ranked 11th with 1 minute 9.02 seconds, and Yang Ho-jun (Uijeongbu High School) ranked 16th with 1 minute 11.45 seconds. .
