Short trackers return for chance to win more medals

Three days after winning the gold medal in the women's 3,000-meter relay, South Korean short trackers will be back for more on Friday.

Shim Suk-hee, Park Seung-hi and Kim A-lang will all set their sights on their second gold in Sochi in the 1,000ｍ. They have reached the quarterfinals, and the semifinals and the finals, should they keep advancing, are also scheduled for Friday.
