Beijing 2022: Getting There First

The trio of Choi Min-Jeong (Korea), Arianna Fontana (Italy), and Suzanne Schulting (Netherlands) skated away from the rst of the field in the Women's Short Track 1500 M.  The trio came out of the final term to race for a share of the three medals on offer.  Each skater has already won a medal in these games, the only question was what color of medal would each receive.  None were able to overtake the other in the final meters to the line making it Gold for Choi, Silver for Fontana, and Bronze for Shulting.  Don't feel too bad for the ladder, each already have a Gold medal from these Games.

Bejing 2022: Quite a Crowd

The semi-final heats of the the Men's Short Track 1000M race seemed larger than normal with six guys taking to the start line.  Short Track is always a wild race with spills and thrills and this heat was no different (nor was the finale either).  This heat included from left to right, Shaolin Sandor Liu (Hungary), Juneseo Lee (Korea), Shaoang Liu (Hungary) - yes they are brothers, Dajng Wu (China), and Andrew Heo (USA).  Both of the Liu brothers advanced to the finals, along with the Chinese skater Wu. Lee was disqualified for a late race crash.  The elder Liu was disqualified in the finale on a questionable call (as was Wu) allowing Shaolin Sander Liu to take the Bronze medal.

Olympics 2018: Traffic

The finals in the Women's 1000M Short Track was quite the exciting race.  With two South Koreans in the race, Sukhee Shim and Mimjeong Choi, whipping up the crowd.  As they women came into the final lap, however, one of the Korean women went down taking her teammate with her.  In the tight corners of short track, there is a lot of traffic and competition for a piece of ice.  It was Suzanne Schulting (Netherlands) taking Gold, followed by Kim Boutin (Canada) for Silver and Arianna Fontana (Italy) grabbing the Bronze.

Olympics 2018: A Light Touch

I will admit it, short track is my favorite skating event in the winter Olympics.  This is from the Women's Relay qualifying events.  The home team of South Korea is leading the Australians and Chinese into the final turn of the quarter finals.

Olympics 2018: Cornering

One of my favorite Winter Olympic events is the Short Track, possibly because this is one of the sports I enjoyed as a teenager (not that it was called short track back in the 70s).  In the finale of the Women's 1000M race, it was A. Fontana (Italy) leading into the final turn.  Behind her, M. Choi (South Korea) was fighting for position with K. Boutin (Canada).  As they crossed the line, it was the Italian taking the victory, with the Korean coming in second.  The battle for the best line literally pushed Boutin out of medal contention.  Choi was disqualified, moving Boutin into the Bronze Medal.  And, yes, Fontana took the Gold.
