Kim Ki-li (Seongnam City Hall), a representative of women's short track speed skating, won the Winter Sports Festival with overwhelming skills and expressed her prospects for the Olympics.

Kim Ki-li won the gold medal with a new competition record of 1:31.312 in the women's 1,000m short track final of the 107th National Winter Sports Festival held at Songam Sports Town Ice Rink in Chuncheon on the 17th.

Kim Ki-li, who beat his teammate Noh Do-hee (1:31.559) in the national team, maintained the lead from the beginning of the game and crossed the finish line with a stable race.

As a result, Kim Ki-li won three gold medals in the competition by adding a 2,000-meter mixed relay the previous day and a 3,000-meter victory in the women's relay on the same day. Ace Choi Min-jeong (Seongnam City Hall) also collaborated with Kim Ki-li to win the 3,000m relay and won three gold medals side by side, including the 500m and mixed relay the previous day.

Seongnam City Hall's strength stood out in the men's 1,000m. Lee Jung-min (1:27.437) and Kim Han-byul (1:27.685) ranked first and second, respectively, followed by Hong Kyung-hwan (1:27.844) in third place.

On the other hand, some of the national team's main players, including Hwang Dae-heon (Gangwon Provincial Office), did not participate in this event.

The short-track speed skating team, which has completed its athletic schedule, will now embark on the final quenching for the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, which will open on the 6th of next month.
