Gangneung, South Korea, Feb 22 (AFP/APP):Choi Min-jeong’s bid for an Olympic short track treble ended in a wipe-out with fellow South Korean Shim Suk-hee on Thursday.
The winner of the women’s 1,500m and 3,000m relay clipped the blades of Shim in the final lap of the 1,000m, sending both skaters hurtling into the side padding.
That left Suzanne Schulting of the Netherlands to claim gold, with Canada’s Kim Boutin taking silver and Arianna Fontana of Italy the bronze.
