Kim Min-seon, the national speed skating team, is smiling brightly after completing official training for the 2024 International Skating Union (ISU) Speed ​​Skating World Championships held at the Olympic Oval in Calgary, Canada on the 16th (Korean time).

‘Queen of Deception’ Kim Min-seon (Uijeongbu City Hall) is competing in the first 100m ahead of her participation in the 2024 International Skating Union (ISU) Speed ​​Skating World Championships for women in the 500m event. He said he would focus on section records and succeed in winning a medal.

After completing the official training held at the Olympic Oval in Calgary, Canada on the 16th (Korean time), Kim Min-seon said, "This season, I managed my condition with the goal of the World Championships," and added, "I am confident because I allocated my physical strength as planned."

He added, "If I pass the first 100m section around 10.40 seconds, I think I can win a medal without too much trouble. I prepared for this competition with the goal of running the 100m in 10.40 seconds, and after training, I don't think it will be difficult." .

Kim Min-seon showed explosive growth in the 2022-2023 season and swept the women's 500m gold medals from the first to the fifth World Cup competitions.

However, because he poured out so much energy at the beginning of the season, he struggled with physical strength at the end of the season.This is the crucial reason why he failed to win a medal at the World Championships held in March last year.

Accordingly, Kim Min-seon reorganized her training program so that she could display her best skills in February and March, when the World Championships and Olympics were held.

Kim Min-seon is playing this season as planned.Due to a program that gradually improves his physical condition, he was somewhat sluggish at the beginning of this season's World Cup series, but began to perform well in December of last year.

He won the gold medal in the women's 500m in the 3rd, 4th and 6th World Cup competitions (1st race) and finished the World Cup series in 2nd place overall.

Now Min-seon Kim is aiming for a gold medal at the World Championships in each event.

Kim Min-seon, who will compete in the women's 500m on the morning of the 17th, emphasized, "Last year, I did not set the World Championships as a big goal, but this year, I prepared with the idea of ​​focusing on the World Championships even if I had to miss something. I have no pressure and am confident." .

Acting head coach Park Jeong-eun said, "Kim Min-sun has been maintaining her condition well since the 6th World Cup," and added, "If her performance in the first 100m section tomorrow is good, she has a good chance of winning." 사설토토
