Korean speed skaters are continuing their winning ways even after the Olympics:
Ahn Hyun-soo led a South Korean sweep of the medals in the men’s 1500 metres final at the World Short Track Championships in Minneapolis on Friday.
Hyun-soo, who won three golds and a bronze at last month’s Turin Olympics, edged team mate Lee Ho-suk by just .009 seconds to take the title in a time of two minutes, 20.572 seconds.
Completing the South Korean sweep of the podium was Oh Se-jong, who was close behind in 2:20.842.
South Korea also dominated the women’s 1500 finals as Jin Sun-yu took the gold with a time of 2:21.948. Sun-yu also won three gold medals at the Winter Olympics.
Notice the Korean speed skaters received no death threats or needed a riot police escort at the Minneapolis airport to get them to the race unlike what American skater Apolo Anton Ohno had to endure in Korea.
