Short Track Team Maintains Exclusion of Coach A...Winning a trial for indirect compulsory application by the Ice Rink Federation (Roundup)

According to the federation, the Seoul Eastern District Court's Civil Agreement Department 21 rejected coach A's indirect compulsory application on the 21st. As a result, the short track team is expected to play the 2025-2026 season and the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics without coach A's joining.
Earlier in May, the federation imposed one-month and three-month suspensions on coach Yoon Jae-myung and coach A, respectively, for the management of public funds for meals worth hundreds of thousands of won during the international competition. Coach Yoon restored his position by requesting a reconsideration by the Fair Committee of the Korea Sports Council, a high-ranking organization, and Coach A also restored his leadership status by receiving a citation decision in a court injunction request for suspension of disciplinary action. Coach Yoon Jae-myung joined the national team earlier this month after making a decision on the board of directors after twists and turns.
On the other hand, Coach A later restored his leadership status by receiving a citation decision in a court injunction request for suspension of disciplinary action, but failed to return to the national team. Accordingly, Coach A filed an indirect compulsory application with the court. Indirect coercion is an order to pay a certain amount according to a delayed period if the court decision is not implemented. Regarding Coach A in September, the federation filed an indirect compulsory application with the Seoul Eastern District Court in July to return to the national team, but is currently hearing it. After the court's judgment, the performance improvement committee and others will decide whether to return.
On the 22nd, the federation said, "The exclusion of Coach A from the national team is interpreted as not having failed to comply with the court's decision.""We will do our best to maintain a fair and transparent leadership selection and operation system while complying with the court's judgment and sports-related regulations." he said.
The federation said "The effect of the decision to suspend the effect of the provisional disposition shall suspend the effect of disciplinary action "' is limited to the point, and the provisional injunction decision alone does not automatically restore the qualifications of the national team leader. "Matters such as allowing access to the athletes' village and using facilities, and guaranteeing the guidance of the national team players as requested by Coach A are not included in the scope of effectiveness of the provisional injunction decision."
However, the legal dispute between the federation and Coach A is expected to continue.
Coach A said in response, `The indirect dismissal did not recognize the legitimacy of the federation's actions.' `The court only made a procedural judgment that an indirect application for coercion was not an appropriate means to force the active fulfillment of the duty of the national leader only with the authority of 'Suspension of Disciplinary Effect\'.'
