Shim Suk-hee (Seoul Metropolitan Government), who won her third gold medal in the women's short track relay. The moment I laid down my old heart's burden, I cried like a child.

The Korean 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), won the gold medal with a time of 4:04:014 in the women's 3,000m relay final at the '2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics' held at the Milan Ice Skating Arena in Italy on the 18th (local time). Host country Italy has a silver medal with a time of 4:04.107, while Canada has a bronze medal with a time of 4:04.314.

At the end of the game, Shim Suk-hee hugged her face. He then shed tears. It was a tear of joy and a "healing tear" that overcame the devastating winds and waves last time.

For Shim Suk-hee, the Milan Olympics was a special meaning. He played as a star in Korean short track speed skating in 2014 Sochi and 2018 Pyeongchang, but since then, it has been a series of trials. Controversy over demeaning Choi Min-jeong and allegations of intentional clashes during the PyeongChang competition pushed her into a deep quagmire. As a result, he couldn't even participate in the 2022 Beijing Olympics.

The stinging gaze that it wasn't a 'one team', the broken honor, and the uncertain future. However, Shim Suk-hee did not give up and silently re-tied the skate strap. And on the Olympic stage again in eight years, he proved everything with his actions and skills.

The highlight of the final match was other than Kim Ki-li's last-minute reversal. It is a scene in which Shim Suk-hee pushes Choi Min-jeong's buttocks as hard as she can in front of the game with five laps left.

They were two people who were once in the controversy over 'deliberate conflict'. However, the power pushed by Shim Suk-hee was delivered to Choi Min-jeong. With that power, Choi Min-jeong overtook Canada and set the stage for a turnaround. It is one of the best scenes to shake off the past and become one perfect.

After the game, when Kim Ki-li (Seongnam City Hall) crossed the finish line, Shim Suk-hee finally burst out her feelings. His eyes were wet all the way around with the national flag. Shim Suk-hee, who stood at the top of the podium, seemed more comfortable than ever.

Shim Suk-hee also shed tears during an interview in the joint coverage area (Mix Zone). "There were a lot of really hard processes in the preparation process for the Olympics today, but I was so overwhelmed that all of our players seemed to have held up and overcome well together," he said.

Shim Suk-hee, who left the long tunnel, now seems to be able to put down her sorry and burden and laugh as much as she wants.
