(Mokpo = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok and Kim Gyeong-yoon = It seems to be really difficult to put aside the joy of victory and run with all your might.
According to Taiwanese media such as the Korea Roller Sports Federation and the Today Newspaper on the 14th, a scene that could feel like ‘déjà vu’ to Korean and Taiwanese sports fans was created in Tainan, Taiwan the day before.
The men’s 1,000m roller skating race was held at the Taiwan National Sports Festival, and the athlete who was running ahead of the team was defeated while celebrating.
He clenched his fists and enjoyed the joy of victory just before crossing the finish line. However, the player who followed did not give up until the end and put his left foot forward, causing a comeback.
The gap between first place (1 minute 27.202 seconds) and second place (1 minute 27.172 seconds) was only 0.03 seconds.
Disappointing silver medal
(Hangzhou = Yonhap News) Reporter Shin Hyun-woo = Korean athletes are disappointed after crossing the finish line for the second time in the men’s 3,000m roller skating relay at the Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Qiantang Roller Sports Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China on the 2nd. 2023.10.2 nowwego@yna.co.kr
But what’s even more surprising is that the player who suffered a comeback defeat was Huang Yulin, the protagonist of the Taiwanese national team’s dramatic upset at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.
In the 3,000m relay race at the Hangzhou Asian Games held on the 2nd, Huang Yulin created a scene that could be considered one of the top 10 ‘highlight’ scenes of the competition across all events.
As of the last lap, Korea’s victory seemed certain.
Korea’s last runner, Jeong Cheol-won, held a ceremony by raising his arms, anticipating victory.
However, Hwang Yu-lin, who was following behind, sprinted all the way to the end and pushed her left foot straight into the finish line.
The result was Taiwan’s victory by 0.01 seconds.
The Taiwanese players, who achieved a thrilling comeback victory, cheered, while the Korean players lowered their heads.
The fact that Jeong Cheol-won and his teammate Choi In-ho (Nonsan City Hall), who raced with him, have not yet completed their military service made the match look more dramatic.
If Korea had won the gold medal that day, the two could have received special military service benefits.

Hwang Yu-lin, who suffered a painful loss to them, left a wonderful comment after the game, saying, “I saw my opponent celebrating. I wanted to tell them that I was still fighting while they were celebrating.”
However, in less than 15 days, he was defeated by an opponent who ‘fought until the end’.
Looking at the photos taken of the two competitions crossing the finish line, only the ‘roles’ have changed, and the ‘poses’ of the players are almost identical.
Taiwanese sports fans are creating and passing around ‘jalbangs’ that are two photos stitched together.
The athlete who came from behind to win against Huang Yulin at the Taiwan National Sports Festival was Zhao Zizheng, with whom he won the 3,000m relay gold medal in Hangzhou.
Jeong Cheol-won, Choi In-ho, and Choi Gwang-ho (Daegu City Hall), who won tearful silver medals in Hangzhou, will continue their challenge at the 104th National Sports Festival being held in Jeollanam-do.
