Kim Joon-ho ranked second among 24 athletes with a time of 35.03 seconds in the men's 500m race at the speed skating Oval at the Harbin Heilongjiang Ice Training Center in China on the 10th (Korea time). He played against Japanese ace Wataru Morishige in Group 11 out of 12 teams. He was ahead of Morishige, who recorded 9.54 seconds and 9.76 seconds in the first 100 meters, but was slightly behind in the 400m section and recorded 35:03 seconds. He was ranked second in real time after Morishige, who recorded 34.97 seconds. The final Article 12, Kaoting Yu, China's top ranker and Asian record holder, came forward. He shot 34.95 seconds and won the gold medal '0.02 second difference'. Kim Joon-ho finished third, winning the gold medal and the bronze medal '0.08 second difference'. It was a very close game.
Kim Joon-ho, who won his first bronze medal in the men's 100m on the 8th with a time of 9.62 seconds, won his second medal in two days. Kim Jun-ho, who is a 30-year-old veteran but has participated in the Asian Games for the first time in eight years, continues his challenge.
Kim Joon-ho will challenge for his third medal in the team sprint, which will take place immediately after the men's 500m race, along with Cha Min-gyu (Dongducheon City Hall) and Cho Sang-hyuk (Uijeong City Hall). The sprint is a group competition of short-distance racers, with three runners working together to make three 400m tracks, but one by one is out of the line, and the last lap is a must-have for one runner to run, absolute teamwork, breathing, and even performance. It is the first event introduced by the Harbin tournament organizing committee in place of the strong mass start in Korea, and in the women's sprint, the Korean women's national team, consisting of Kim Min-sun (Uijeong Government Hall), Lee Na-hyun (Hancheong University), and Kim Min-ji (Hwaseong City Hall), was crowned the first champion.
