(Reuters) – World record holder Hwang Dae-heon of South Korea was knocked out of the short track speed skating 1,000 metres event in the semi-final on Monday after being disqualified.
Hwang, the world number two in the event who won two of the four World Cup legs this season, was penalised for an “illegal late pass causing contact”.
World number Pascal Dion of Canada was also eliminated, in the quarter-finals.
