Japan, composed of Miho Takagi, Ayano Sato and Hana Noake, won a bronze medal in the women's speed skating team pursuit at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics held at Milan Speed Skating Stadium in Italy on the 18th (Korea time).

It was Japan's 19th medal of the tournament. The achievement far exceeds the previous record of 18 in the 2022 Beijing Games. Japan has consistently won four gold medals, five silver medals, and 10 bronze medals in this competition.

The official ranking is 10th, but the total number of medals is different. After Norway (31), Italy (24), the U.S. (21), and Germany (20), he has won the fifth most medals, showing off the potential of an Asian winter powerhouse."

Now the eyes are on the 'medal color'. Japan's record for the most gold medals in a single event is five at the 1998 Nagano Olympics held in its own country. Japan, which has currently secured four gold medals, can expect a tie record in 28 years or more depending on the results of the remaining games.

Meanwhile, the South Korean team failed to win additional medals on the day, maintaining its 16th overall ranking with a total of six medals, including one gold.
