World Juniors: Complete Korean victory
the six Korean medal winners
14 January 2007
- The World Junior Championships in Mlada Boleslav (CZE) ended in both categories, Ladies and Men, with three Korean skaters on the podium. Yang Shin-Young was far the best skater in the Ladies category. She was first in 3 distances: 1500, 1000 and 1500 meter Super Final. Only by a fall in the 500 meter final she missed the podium on that distance. Second and third were her team mates Shin Sae-Bom and Park Seung-Hi. Shin Woo-Chul became the champion in the Men's category. Today he won the 1000 meter and became second in the 1500 meter Super Final. Friday's winner of the 1500 meter, Lee Jung-Su, won also the Super Final and took the silver in the final classification. Bronze was for Korean Jang Won-Hoon.
