The Korea Racing Authority announced that it would cancel the third race, which was scheduled to be held at the Mass Correctional Center from the 15th to the 16th, due to freezing of water.

In order to facilitate the smooth progress of the race, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Headquarters has continued to work to prevent freezing of the water surface of Gyeongju. However, the recent cold spell, with the lowest temperature above minus 10 degrees Celsius, has frozen the water, making it difficult to proceed with the race normally, and the race has been canceled in consideration of athlete safety.

An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "The Korea Racing Authority is a sport that competes for rankings at a high speed on the surface of the water using racing motor boats, and if an ice piece splashes during the race, it could pose a threat to the safety of athletes and affect the ranking, so it was inevitably canceled for both athletes and customers."I will do my best to show the best race by securing stable sleep in the race."," he said.




The race will be operated normally from the 22nd, the fourth edition of the race. The online start-type race, which will be held in 16-17 races, will be operated in a flying start method for all races until a separate announcement due to concerns about malfunction of mooring equipment due to freezing.
