Setting an Olympic record with a time of 1:23.747 was Lee Jung-soo. Lee Ho-suk followed by finishing with 1:23.801. The glorious victory made up for the disappointment during the men’s 1500 meters where the podium sweep was turned to waters when Lee Ho-suk and Sung Si-bak crashed, costing themselves the silver and bronze medals behind Lee Jung-soo.

As for Ohno, he managed to cross the finishing line quick enough to win the bronze medal, becoming the most decorated American Winter Olympian in U.S. history. Korea’s tactic of staying behind of the race and charging ahead with full throttle at the end worked well, and they should be congratulated for distinguishing themselves as the world’s best in the sport.
