The Korean national team athletes who warmed up for the relay competition focused on the mixed 2,000m relay, the first medal event of short track speed skating of the competition. Some of the male and female players formed teams and concentrated their efforts to cooperate. The competitors also spent time training on the corners. This is a measure to improve the ice adaptation and prevent falls.

The players' training expressions are more relaxed. Kim Ju-ri, the first sister of the Korean women's national team, who aims to win five gold medals, wore a special helmet that only the first overall finisher in the women's World Cup last season wore to train. She showed a big smile and a calm attitude during the training.

Park Ji-won, the ace of the South Korean men's national team and world No. 1 in the men's World Cup last season, trains with a regular helmet. "I brought two helmets," he said. Concentrate on your exercise as you normally would. ”
