Canada wins first gold of the season after defeating Danjinu
“I think I had the best race of the season.”
Jiwon Park won the men’s 1500m final at the 3rd ISU World tour held in Beijing,China on the 7th. Park Ji-won, who competed with william Danjinu (23, Canada) for the lead, took the lead with the last two laps remaining and was the first to cross the finish line. Dan Dan put his skate blade in front of the finish line, but Park Ji-won, who stretched out his legs together, was faster.
After the game,park Ji-won said,“I dreamed of winning a gold medal yesterday. I think I went through the finals at least 10 times in my dream. “When I woke up this morning, all I could think about was ‘gold, gold, gold,’ and I finally got it,” he said. “I think I had the best race of the season.” Danjinu (who tried to push me at the end) has really long legs. So I also stretched my legs 100%. “I have short legs,” he said with a laugh. Dan Ji-won’s height is 191 cm, which is 21 cm taller than Park Ji-won (170 cm). Dan Danjinu previously won both the 1,500 meters in the first and second World Tour competitions held in montreal, his country, in October and November. Park Ji-won won a silver medal in this event in the first competition and placed fourth in the second competition.
Park ji-won is ranked 2nd in the season’s overall rankings, following Dan Danjinu. Starting with the 2022-2023 season, the ISU is awarding the Crystal Glove to the male and female athlete who ranks first in the season’s overall rankings.Park Ji-won won the award twice until last season.
