- 9 years ago
Hello everyone. I'm Steven Choi with the sports brief.
South Korea once again displayed its dominance on the short track with Choi Min-jeong crowned the ladies overall champion at the World Championships in Moscow.
The 16-year-old earned the 1,500-meter bronze and was fourth in the 500-meter races before sweeping the podium Sunday.
Crossing the line first in the 1,000-meter race, and minutes later, in the 3,000-meter Super Final, the teenager dashed to the top of the standings.
Choi ended the day with the 3,000-meter team relay gold, capping off her spectacular Worlds debut and earning comparisons to last year's champ Shim Suk-hee, who came in 3rd overall this year.
