Lee Na-hyun (21, Korea National Sport University), the "Shin Sung" of Korean speed skating, failed to enter the medal table on the first Olympic stage in her career.

Lee Na-hyun clocked 37.86 seconds in the women's 500m final at the 2026 Winter Olympics held at Milan Speed Skating Stadium in Italy on the 16th (Korea time). As of the end of the Group 13 match, it is ranked eighth overall.

Lee Na-hyun, who started in the 13th Group In course, raced against Poland's Kaya Geomek-Nogal. The early start wasn't bad. He ran the first 100m section in 10.47 seconds, raising expectations. However, he crossed the finish line, lagging behind Geomek-Nogal (37.39 seconds), who played together with his speed slightly.

This is less than 0.8 seconds of his own record of 37.03. The medal was virtually eliminated due to the gap with Utah Lièrdam (37.15 seconds) of the Netherlands, who is currently in first place.

Lee Na-hyun had a steep rise, sweeping all-around medals (gold 2) at the 2025 Harbin Winter Asian Games and leading senior Kim Min-sun in the World Cup rankings this season, but failed to cross the high wall of the Olympics.
