Choi Min-jeong, the signature member of the Korean women's short track speed skating team, regretted losing the title of the most single champion of a Korean athlete at the Asian Winter Games. On the 9th, at the 2025 Asian Winter Games short track speed skating women's 3000m relay held in the Heilongjiang Provincial Ice Training Center Complex in Harbin, the last Korean player Kim Ji-ri fell due to contact with Chinese player Gong Li, resulting in the South Korean team ultimately failing to win the medal, and Choi Minjing also missed the quadruple crown.

On the 9th, Cui Minjing, who won the gold medal in the women's 1000m short track speed skating final of the Asian Winter Games, wore a Tai Chi flag to celebrate, smiling brightly.

The quadruple Asian Winter Games is the most in the history of a Korean athlete, and it was achieved by speed skater Lee Seung-hoon at the 2017 Sapporo Asian Winter Games, and he is currently the only Korean player.

Cui Minjing, who met after the game, did not show a sad look, but instead started talking about the mistake of Kim Jiri. Cui Minjing said in the joint interview area: "I understand (Kim) Jiri's feelings better than anyone else. Because I've been running a lot of last-time runs since I was a child, I'm well aware of how much of a burden she's had. ”

Cui Minjing set off in the women's 1000m short track speed skating final at the Asian Winter Games on the 9th.

She also comforted, "Kim Jiri is the one who leads the short track speed skating in Korea and is also a player who will develop further, so I think this competition will be a great experience." ”

Although she did not win the quadruple crown, Cui Minjing has achieved significant results at this Asian Winter Games. She is the first Korean woman to win the triple crown at a single Asian Winter Games. At the same time, for the first time in history, she won the gold medal in the women's 500m short track speed skating for South Korea. Cui Minjing said: "I didn't expect to achieve such good results, I am very happy. In particular, winning gold medals in the 500m and 1000m races, where results were relatively sluggish, is of great significance. ”

She explains: "Actually, I used to train hard because I wanted to do the sprint event, but the results were not obvious. I changed my training methods since last summer, and my results have improved recently, so I went into this competition with confidence. ”

When asked what impact the tournament will have on Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026, she stressed: "It will be a good springboard. I gained further self-confidence. ”
