Kim Gil-li (19, Seongnam City Hall), the next-generation Korean women’s short track ace, won the 1,500m race for the second day in a row at the World Cup held at home.
Gilly Kim came in first with a time of 2 minutes 23.746 seconds in the finals of the second race of the women’s 1500m at the 4th 2023-2024 International Skating Union (ISU) World Cup held at the Mok-dong Ice Rink in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the 17th. Christine Santos Griswold of the United States took second place with 2 minutes 23.968 seconds.
Until the first race the day before, he swept the 1500m of this competition. Gilly Kim previously won the 1500m gold medal at the third competition held in Beijing, China. This is the 4th consecutive gold medal since the 1st and 2nd competitions.
In particular, Kim Gil-li succeeded in winning multiple awards in this competition. Kim Gil-li, who won only one gold medal in the 1st to 3rd competitions, solidified her position as the next generation queen by sweeping the 1st and 2nd races in the competition held at home.
With ace Choi Min-jeong (25, Seongnam City Hall) missing, Kim Gil-li reliably filled the void. Choi Min-jeong decided not to participate in international competitions this season due to treatment for an injury suffered during last year’s Beijing Winter Olympics.
After the game, Kim Gil-li expressed his overwhelming feelings, saying, “This is my first multiple-winner in the World Cup, so I feel new and happy because the tournament is being held in Seoul.” He then emphasized that he ran the first and second 1500m races and the mixed relay, saying, “I had a physical strain, but I did my best to achieve my goal.”
Gilly Kim will also participate in the women’s 3000m relay and challenge for three gold medals. Gilly Kim won a gold medal in the first 1500m race and a bronze medal in the mixed relay the day before.
Shim Seok-hee (Seoul City Hall), who entered the finals of the second 1500m race on this day, ranked 5th. Seo Hwi-min (Korea University) failed to advance to the finals as he failed to place in the top two of his group in the semifinals.
