The Korean women's relay won the gold medal for the first time in eight years.

The Korean women's national team, consisting of Choi Min-jeong, Kim Ki-li (Sungnam City Hall), Noh Do-hee (Hwasong City Hall), and Shim Suk-hee (Seoul City Hall), crossed the finish line in the women's 3,000m relay at the '2026 Milan·Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics' held at the Milan Ice Skating Arena in Italy at 8:50 p.m. on the 18th (local time). Italy is in second place and Canada is in third place.

South Korea unexpectedly took the lead from the beginning, and the competition to not give up the lead was fierce. Korea then fell to third place after Canada and the Netherlands.

Korea was in crisis with 17 laps to go. As the Netherlands, which had been running in second place, slipped, Korea was also on the verge of a collision. Fortunately, he avoided it well, but the gap with second place was far away.

South Korea's fierce pursuit then began. With five laps to go, Shim Suk-hee came up second with an in-course overtaking, followed by Kim Ki-li, who came in first with a great reversal.

South Korea is a traditional powerhouse in this event, having won six gold medals and one silver medal in the women's relay at the previous Winter Olympics. After winning four consecutive gold medals from the 1994 Lillehammer Games to the 2006 Torino Games, he lost the gold medal to China at the 2010 Vancouver Games, but won back-to-back championships in Sochi in 2014 and Pyeongchang in 2018.

South Korea, which lost the title to the Netherlands at the 2022 Beijing Games and won the silver medal, succeeded in retaking the gold medal for the first time in eight years since the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.

The women's national team's "Double Horse" Choi Min-jeong and Kim Gili's seasoned game management, Shim Suk-hee's synergy with a history of winning the Olympic relay, and Noh Do-hee, who served as a perfect bridge, led to the gold medal as a result of the best race.

In this final, all three teams were strong teams with a winning record: Canada with Courtney Saro, the No. 1 overall World Tour player in the 2025-2026 season, the Netherlands with Sandra Belzebur, who won two gold medals in this competition, and Italy with the most Olympic short track medal, Ariana Fontana. However, with Korea's best performance, he finally won the gold medal.
