Korean female short track signboard Choi Min-jeong (25, Seongnam City Hall, photo) does not participate in the national team selection for the 2023-2024 season먹튀검증. Next season, instead of participating in competitions organized by the International Skating Union (ISU), he plans to focus on individual training with the goal of winning three consecutive Olympic gold medals. This is the first time Choi Min-jung, who wore the Taegeuk mark for the first time in the 2014-2015 season, has been left out of her national team.
An official from Choi Min-jung’s management company, All That Sports, said, “Choi Min-jung did not apply to participate in the national team selection event (which will be held at the Jincheon National Training Center in North Chungcheong Province from the 18th).” ) I took one season as time to change all my equipment and try out various things. She decided that she had to go through a lot of adventures now if she was going to show what she wanted at the Olympics,” she said on the 13th.
The decisive moment for Choi Min-jung, who felt that she needed a change, was the World Championships held in Seoul last month. Choi Min-jung, who won two consecutive women’s 1500m gold medals at the 2018 Pyeongchang and 2022 Beijing Olympics, gave up the gold medal to Nus Wheelting (26, Netherlands). Even in the 1000m, she fell behind Zandra Belzebourg (22, Netherlands) and she had to be content with a silver medal. She also won a silver medal in the women’s 3000m relay.
At the time, Choi Min-jung said, “I want to make the disappointment I felt this time an opportunity to develop further.” He added, “As the overall level of European and North American players has been leveled upward, I can feel that the race flow has become faster.” It may take a lot of time, but I think you have to change so that you can adapt to the new trend and show a good image.”
He cannot train at the Jincheon Athletes’ Village unless he is a member of the national team. Regarding this, an official from Choi Min-jung’s side said, “Since we will continue training with a personal coach at the Seongnam City Hall rink, there will be no major problems with the training environment.” However, Choi Min-jung does not spend this season solely on individual training. Choi Min-jung plans to participate normally in domestic competitions and maintain his real sense of the game.
