Kim stayed near the back at first, watching the battle for positions and waiting for an opening. <br> <br> With six laps remaining, two skaters crashed during the race. Kim skated in fifth place at the time but quickly accelerated along the outside lane and moved to the front. <br> <br> Kim widened the gap with a strong burst of speed. She led the remaining laps and crossed the finish line first with a time of 2:31.003. Xandra Velzeboer of the Netherlands finished second in 2:31.298, and Corinne Stoddard of the United States placed third in 2:31.386. <br> <br> Kim's finish marks her second gold after her first in the women's 1000 meters on Saturday.

The two skaters made contact and lunged toward the finish line, with Dandjinou initially crossing 0.018 seconds ahead. <br> <br> Officials later reviewed the race and penalized Dandjinou for an arm block after he grabbed Rim with his hand during the final stretch. The decision changed the result and awarded Rim the gold medal. <br> <br> Rim had also won the men’s 1500 meters on Saturday, earning his first two World Championship medals in his career. <br><br><i>This article was originally written in Korean and translated by a bilingual reporter with the help of generative AI tools.
