On this day, Park Ji-won played from behind at the beginning of the 1000m final and was unable to take the lead until three laps left at the finish line. However, on the last lap, he overtook Pascal Dion (Canada) and Luca Spetsenhauser (Italy) at once to rise to first place and cross the finish line intact.

Park Ji-won was also active in the men’s 5000m relay final. Park Ji-won, who competed with Lim Yong-jin (Goyang City Hall), Lee Dong-hyeon (Uijeongbu Kwangdong High School), and Kim Tae-seong (Dankook University), competed with China, Japan, and Kazakhstan for the gold medal. The national team ran first throughout the race, and with two laps left at the finish line, the national team engaged in a second match with China. Park Ji-won, who started as the last runner from Korea, was pursued by Lin Shao-jun (Korean name Lim Hyo-jun), the last runner from China, with a rough struggle, but cut the finish line first with a narrow gap.

South Korea won the gold medal with a time of 6:47:048, and China, with Lin Xiaojun at the fore, won the silver medal with a time of 6:47:090.

Park Ji-won, who received a large trophy at the awards ceremony, said in an interview with the ISU, “I wanted to become a part of short track speed skating history by becoming the first Crystal Globe winner. I am proud of myself for doing that.”
