Four medals and new world record for Chinese Taipei skaters !!!

Four medals at a time went to Chinese Taipei after the Junior Speed Slalom competitions!

 

In the Junior Men category, Chen Yu-Chi won the first gold for his country! He was fighting for the victory with his teammate, Wang Jung-Hsin. After one victory on each side, Chen Yu-Chi won the third run, leaving the silver medal for his opponent and making his best result so far. This is the first gold medal in the Men's Speed Slalom for Taipei ever!

 

 

Ranjbar Vakili Pedram (Iri) and Chan Man Fung Anson (Hkg) met in the Consolation Final. Showing the best qualification time (4,434 sec), the Iranian skater won the bronze medal after 2 runs against Anson, who was the bronze medalist of the last year's World Championships. 

 

" I feel a little sad, Pedram shared his feelings after the final, "I really feel that I could have won the gold this time, even if there were many strong skaters… Anyway, it's too late to change the situation already, so I will try better for the next time to win the competitions as I already did in Moscow and Warsaw."
