MILAN — Team USA’s Corinne Stoddard claimed a short track speedskating bronze medal in the women’s 1500m with a time of 2:32.578 in a stellar finals performance Friday at the Milano Ice Skating Arena.
South Korea’s Kim Gilli (2:32.076) and Choi Minjeong (2:32.450) took gold and silver, respectively.
Stoddard led for almost the entire race, only surrendering the lead to Kim and Choi in the race’s final laps. Stoddard managed to hold off China’s Jingru Yang and Arianna Fontana as she came to the line to claim her first Olympic medal.
A two-time Olympian, Stoddard’s best finish prior to this race was a 7th place in the 1000m in Beijing in 2022. She also owns a world championship silver medal in the 3000m relay and world championship bronzes in 1500m and mixed team relay.
Stoddard had struggled in the Milan Cortina Olympics prior to the 1500m. She finished 8th in both the 3000m relay and the mixed team relay. In her individual events, she finished 24th in the 1000m and 31st in the 500m.
