Cross-country skiing, called "Marathon on the Snowlands," is divided into classical and free according to state law. If classical is a race in which skis are maintained in parallel and driven using core force, free is the main method of gaining momentum by pushing the back of the skis outward like skates.

The women's 10km interval start free is a competition in which players start with a time difference and run a total of 10km in free-state law to determine the ranking by record.

Lee Eui-jin and Han Da-som, who failed to complete the women's 10km + 10km skiathlon, which was the first event of the competition on the 7th, then failed to advance to the finals with 70th place (4:15:93) and 74th place (4:17:62) respectively in the women's sprint classic qualifying round held on the 10th.

The controversy has since erupted. Equipment inspections conducted by the International Ski Federation (FIS) showed that the two athletes tested positive for banned substances in their skis, and eventually faced an absurd situation in which they were disqualified.

Lee Eui-jin and Han Da-som will compete in the women's sprint free qualifying match on the 18th.
