During the women’s team pursuit quarter-finals on Monday, Kim and Park skated ahead as teammate Noh Seon-yeong fell behind the pack. Cameras showed Kim and Park walking away after the race as Noh cried in the infield of the Gangneung Oval. Some South Koreans believe Kim and Park were trying to humiliate Noh because there was nothing to be gained by crossing first. Ahead of the Olympics, Noh reportedly complained that she wasn’t getting much time to train with Kim and Park, who were practicing separately at the university. On Wednesday night, Noh skated with Kim and Park again in a two-team race to determine seventh place.
