Choi Min-jeong (Hangul: 최민정; born 9 September 1998) is a South Korean short track speed skater. Choi was awarded her first senior individual gold medal ahead of Arianna Fontana and Shim Suk-hee, passing through the finish line of the women's 1500 m final for second ISU Short Track World Cup of the 2014–2015 seasons held in Montreal, Canada. At age 16, she became the 2015 Overall Ladies World Champion. She is the current 500m short track speed skating Olympic record holder after breaking the previous record set by Elise Christie by 0.45 seconds.[1] She was penalised in the final of the 500 m event at the 2018 Winter Olympics for interference,[2] but won a gold medal in the following 1500 m race. She also won Gold in the 3000m Relay. In the 1000m Finals, she collided with another South Korean skater and crashed, ultimately finishing 4th.
