Seoul: South Korea has secured all but one quota spot in short track speed skating for the upcoming Winter Olympics. The International Skating Union (ISU) finalized short track quota allocation for the Milan-Cortina Winter Games on Thursday, determining the spots based on the three best results from four events during the ISU World Tour season.

According to Yonhap News Agency, there were 32 quota places available for both men and women in the 500m and 1,000m events, and 36 quota places for the 1,500m. The men's 5,000m relay and women's 3,000m relay each offered eight quota places, while the mixed 2,000m relay event had 12 quota places. Each country had the opportunity to earn a maximum of three quota places per individual event and one quota place per relay event, allowing teams to register three men and three women for individual races, and four men and four women for the relays.

South Korea ended up obtaining two quota places for the men's 500m, where it did not secure any medals during the World Tour. In the women's 500m, South Korea managed to secure all quota places despite winning just one medal-a bronze by Choi Min-jeong in Poland in November. The country will have full representation in all other events as well.

South Korea remains a dominant force in Olympic short track speed skating, leading the all-time medal table with 26 gold medals and 53 medals overall.
