Hwang Dae-heon (Gangwon Provincial Office) won a silver medal in the men's 1,500m short track speed skating at the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics. It is the second consecutive medal after the gold medal at the 2022 Beijing Games.

Hwang Dae-heon clocked 2:12.304 in the men's 1,500-meter final at the Milan Ice Skating Arena on the 14th (local time) and crossed the finish line in second place behind Jens Pantbout of the Netherlands (2:12.219). The bronze medal was won by Robertz Cruzbergs (Latvia, 2:12.376).

Nine players participated in the final match, which was a mixed race. Hwang Dae-heon chose a strategy to see opportunities in the early rear. In the middle of the game, Stephen Du Bois of Canada fell, and Liu Xiaoang, Sun Long (China) and Nair Tracy (Britain) collided in a series with four laps to go.

Hwang Dae-heon quickly took the lead and jumped to second place, beating William Danjonu of Canada. He chased the leader, Pantbout, until the last minute, but it was not easy, and he had to settle for a silver medal.

As a result, Hwang Dae-heon has won his fourth Olympic medal in his career after 2018 Pyeongchang (500m silver) and 2022 Beijing (1500m gold, relay silver).

Shin Dong-min (Hwaseong City Hall), who reached the final together, unfortunately failed to enter the medal table in fourth place (2:12.556).
