Photo Swept away by medals, but 'gold 1, silver 1'

On the 14th (Korea time) at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada, at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics men's 1500m short track speed skating competition, Lee Ho-seok (24, Goyang City Hall) and Sung Si-baek (23, Yongin City Hall), who were running for 2nd and 3rd place, stumble over each other as Lee Jung-su (21, Dankook University, right) races toward the finish line. Lee Jung-su won the country's first gold medal of the Games with a time of 2:17.611, overtaking Anton Ohno (28, USA), but Korea missed the opportunity for an unprecedented sweep of medals in a single event due to aggressive competition between Korean athletes. Meanwhile, Lee Seung-hoon (22, Korea National Sport University) broke expectations on the same day in the 5000m speed skating, becoming the first Asian athlete to win a silver medal in a long-distance speed skating event. South Korea currently holds 5th place overall with 1 gold and 1 silver as of the 15th.
