At the Winter Olympics| the International Skating Federation rejected the complaints of Hungary and South Korea

On February 7, South Korea's Hwang Dae-hyun was awarded a foul in the men's 1,000m semifinals of the Winter Olympics short track speed skating. The South Korean team was not satisfied with this and filed a complaint with the International Skating Federation. On February 8, the International Skating Federation issued a statement on its official website rejecting the South Korean team's complaint, saying that the fine was not forfeited, and also rejecting the Hungarian team's appeal against Liu Shaolin's penalty.

According to the ITU statement, the South Korean team appealed to Hwang Dae-hyun for being fined for "violating the rules and exceeding the rules resulting in (physical) contact", and according to Article 123, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the ISU General Rules, the referee confirmed that the above complaint was rejected.

The statement also stated that, in fact, under the principles of application on the field, it is not permissible to appeal the decision of the (referee) officer to disqualify or not to disqualify an athlete for violating any of the rules of the competition. The statement also said that the referee had watched the incident with the video referee and eventually insisted on his own penalty.
