Short track speed skating at the 2010 Winter Olympics – Women's 3000 metre relay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The finals in the women's 3000 metre relay in short track speed skating at the 2010 Winter Olympics took place on 24 February, at the Pacific Coliseum. In the final, the event was controversially won by the Chinese team, which set a new world record. The South Korean team initially finished first but was disqualified due to illegal contact which was deemed to have impeded a Chinese skater.[1][2] Australian referee James Hewish subsequently received abusing and threatening emails including personal death threats from angry South Korean fans.[3]
