Meanwhile,.... over in the women's 500-meter short track speed skating event,... South Korea's Choi Min-jeong could've added a silver for the nation,... if not for a penalty.
The 19-year-old phenom,... came in second place behind Italy's Arianna Fontana in a photo finish,... but was later disqualified after officials ruled that Choi had touched the knee of Canadian skater Kim Boutin ( Boo-TANG) while making a move on the inside.
The ruling gave Dutch skater Yara Van Kerkhof (KER-KOFF) the silver and Boutin (Boo-TANG) the bronze.
