According to the rules of the Korea Skating Association, one male and one woman who has won one or more individual gold medals in this World Championships and has the best overall score in the team will be automatically awarded the national representative qualification for the 2025-2026 season, and the Korean short track speed skating team led by Park Ji-won, Choi Min-jeong, Kim Ji-ri and other famous players will give it a go on the last day of this World Championships. "The 2026 Winter Olympics will be held next season, so this World Championships is tantamount to the first round of trials for South Korean athletes," South Korean media said. It is expected that the national team players will compete fiercely not only with foreign players, but also with domestic players. ”
