Park Ji-won (Seoul City Hall), who fell after being pushed by Hwang Dae-heon (Gangwon Provincial Office) at the Short Track World Championships and missed out on the gold medal, and missed out on automatic selection to the national team for the next season, returned to Korea with a neck protector and a bandage on her arm. 파워볼게임

The Korean short track team returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 19th after finishing the 2024 International Skating Union (ISU) Short Track World Championships held in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Park Ji-won, who was pushed down by teammate Hwang Dae-heon and hit the fence hard in the 1,000m final, left the arrivals hall wearing a neck brace to stabilize her head and her left arm wrapped in a bandage.

Park Ji-won said, "I kept feeling sick, so (the neck) was fixed.

The medical staff told me to rest."

He then complained, “I guess the impact on my neck and head was severe, but the neuralgia continues.”

When asked whether Hwang Dae-heon personally apologized after the 1,000m final, he declined to comment, saying, "I have nothing to say about that right now."

Park Ji-won, who was fouled by Hwang Dae-heon three times during the game this season alone, once again avoided comment when asked if a similar situation had occurred in the previous season, saying, 'I have nothing to say right now.'

Ace Park Ji-won, who ranked first in the World Cup overall rankings for two consecutive seasons and lifted the Crystal Glove, only won one silver medal in the men's relay at this tournament.

This is because he collided with his national teammate Hwang Dae-heon in the men's 1,500m final and 1,000m final.

Ji-won Park led the race from the lead in the 1,500m final, but with two laps left to the finish line, Dae-heon Hwang, who was running in third place, was bumped into while going from the out-course to the in-course and was pushed to the outside, passing the finish line in last place.

Daeheon Hwang crossed the finish line first, but was penalized and disqualified.

Then, in the 1,000m final, Ji-won Park moved into the in-course at high speed on the third curve with three laps left to the finish line, beating Dae-heon Hwang and rising to first place.

However, Park Ji-won, who lost his balance as Hwang Dae-heon pushed him with his hand, slipped and collided hard with the fence.

Ji-won Park was denied a medal in the first round of the ISU World Cup in October last year when Dae-heon Hwang pushed her from behind.

Park Ji-won, who won the Crystal Glove for two consecutive years, entered the World Championships with high expectations as she was automatically selected for the national team next season, but will now have to compete in the national team selection match to be held in April.

Park Ji-won said, “Rather than preparing desperately for something important, I will continue to work hard like I do now,” and added, “All I can do is ride to the best of my ability”

Daeheon Hwang said about the collision situation, "It was a situation where we were competing with each other," and said, "There are enough situations during a match.

There are many variables."

Hwang Dae-heon said, “The target of the foul was a Korean player, and (Park) Ji-won is my older brother, so I feel really bad and feel sorry,” and then remained silent for a while and lost in thought.

Regarding the continued foul play against Park Ji-won, Hwang Dae-heon said, "It was never intentional, so I hope you don't misunderstand it too much," and emphasized again, "It was because of competition."

When asked if he had any conversation with the injured Park Ji-won after the 1,000m finals, Hwang Dae-heon nodded slightly and once again stated, "It happened while we were competing against each other."

Hwang Dae-heon said, “I would like to apologize for the poor results,” and added, “I will reorganize and show a good performance as a player.”
