About Minjeong Choi

Minjeong Choi is a South Korean short track speed skater. She first skated at six, when her father suggested she and her older sister take a winter-holiday class. At 16 she became world champion at her first World Championships in 2015, the first of four overall titles. In November 2016 she set a 1500m world record of 2:14.354 in a semi-final in Salt Lake City. She won the 1500m at PyeongChang 2018 and Beijing 2022. Relay gold and 1500m silver behind Gilli Kim at Milano Cortina 2026 made her the first Korean to win seven Olympic medals.
