Park Ji-won (Seoul Metropolitan Government), a Korean short track star, vowed to protect her pride as the world's No. 1 ranking.

Park Ji-won won the silver medal with a time of 2:14.738 in the men's 1,500-meter final of the fourth short track world tour of the 2024-25 International Skating Union (ISU) held at Mokdong Ice Rink in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the 14th.

The gold medal went to William Dandanu of copyright, who was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 2:14.313. Park Ji-won, who won the gold medal in the third round of the world tour held in Beijing, China last week, tried again to win the title, but unfortunately missed it.

"If you're satisfied, it's a lie," Park said after the game at the mixed zone. "A sportsperson always wants to win first place, so I'm not satisfied with a game that does not win first place," Park said. "The most important thing is to do your best under the circumstances given. I will have some regrets, but I have no regrets."
Park Ji-won wore a special helmet on the day. It was a helmet with the number "1," meaning the overall winner of the ISU Short Track World Cup series, engraved in gold in the 2023-24 season. Park won the overall title in succession in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons.

That's how strong other players are to check. "I think I succeeded in defense once in the quarterfinals," said Park Ji-won, who is fiercely competing with Dan in the 1,500-meter race this season. "At least once, I was able to analyze the situation," Park said. "At the final, it was hard for me to keep him in check."

"We play with our heads as if we were playing chess in the stadium," he said, adding, "After the race, my head hurts."

Regarding the helmet with the number "1," he said, "After the first competition, I thought, 'Do I deserve to wear this helmet? I felt heavy for some reason," and confessed, "I wore the helmet that I originally wore in the second competition."

At the same time, he said, "I think I have to overcome that weight to become a champion," and added, "It's still heavy, but I'll work hard to overcome it."

Unfortunately, he missed the 1,500-meter gold medal, but he is determined to win the 1,000-meter and 5,000-meter relay races on the 15th.

Park Ji-won said at the Media Day event ahead of the upcoming event that she wanted to win a gold medal in 1,000 meters. "I should have said I would have won a gold medal in 1,500 meters. It's too bad that it's a silver medal," Park said. "I will try to keep what I said in 1,000 meters."

The same goes for men's 5,000-meter relay gold medal. This is because Korea has never won a gold medal in the first to third events of this season's world tour.

"After the third competition, we talked about not winning silver anymore," Park said. "I think I've won enough silver medals. I think it's time to win the gold medal." 온라인카지노

"If we win the gold medal in the last international competition ahead of next year's Harbin Winter Asian Games, there will be no better vitamin," he said.
