Two Korean competitors were penalized during the semifinals and Shaolin Sándor Liu of Hungary at the conclusion of the A final. Two skaters from China advanced to the A final as a result of the penalties during the semifinals. [7] [8]
Both the Korean team and Hungarian teams filed a protest against the penalty and yellow card decisions and the ISU (International Skating Union) posted a statement regarding these protests. [9] Based on the ISU General Regulations, Rule 123, paragraphs 4 and 5, the Referee confirmed that the protests are being rejected. More specifically,
- A protest from the Korean team inquiring for the reasons for the penalty during the 1000 m semi-final of HWANG Daeheon. As announced on the video screen in the arena, the Skater got a penalty for an “illegal late pass causing contact”.
- A protest from the Hungarian team against the yellow card for LIU Shaolin Sandor in the 1000 m Final A. As announced on the video screen in the arena, the Skater received a yellow card for two penalties in the same race. The first penalty: “in the straight lane change from inside to out causing contact” and the second penalty was for an “arm block at the finish”.
The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee did not accept this statement however and later filed an official appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the disqualification of two of the South Korean athletes from the event's semifinals. [7]
