Milan: South Korea seized the silver medal in the men's short track speed skating relay at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics on Friday. The quartet of Rim Jong-un, Lee Jeong-min, Lee June-seo, and Hwang Dae-heon finished behind the Netherlands at Milano Ice Skating Arena in Milan for South Korea's second straight silver in the men's 5,000-meter relay. Italy grabbed the bronze medal.

According to Yonhap News Agency, this was the final day of the short track competition at this year's Olympics. Rim, who won the 1,000m bronze, and Hwang, the 1,500m silver medalist, each finished the competition with two medals. This was the first Olympic medal for both Lee Jeong-min and Shin Dong-min, a fifth member of the team who skated in the semifinals and was thus awarded the silver after the final. Lee June-seo has now won his second straight relay medal, after teaming up for silver in 2022 in Beijing.

South Korea has now won eight medals so far at the Olympics here, including five in short track.
