'Korea's Ice Speed Sign' Kim Jun-ho (30, Gangwon Provincial Government) won a bronze medal in the first race of the men's 500m in the fifth round of the ISU Speed Skating World Cup 2024-2025.

Kim Joon-ho ranked third after Jordan Stoltz (USA, 34.49 seconds) and Laurent DuBrayu (Canada, 34.73 seconds) with a time of 34.77 seconds in the first race of the men's division A 500m at Tomaszoviewicz Arena Rodova in Poland on the 22nd (Korea time). Kim Jun-ho, who started in the fourth group in course, passed the first 100m in 9.56 seconds, ranking third among all participants, and secured the bronze medal while maintaining a consistent pace. He won his second podium of the season after winning a bronze medal in the second race in Beijing, China, in December last year. Kim Joon-ho, who was considered a strong gold medal candidate in the Harbin Asian Games, shed tears after winning a bronze medal in 0.08 seconds with China's Kaotingyu, was desperate and returned to the podium on the world stage, continuing his hopes of a medal at the Milan and Cortina Olympics a year later.

Meanwhile, Kim Min-sun (Uijeong City Hall), who competed in the first race of the women's 500m in Division A, ranked 12th out of 20 athletes with a time of 38.62 seconds.
