GANGNEUNG, South Korea: Hungary claimed their first Winter Olympics gold medal on Thursday when their men's short track speed skaters won the 5,000m relay.
The Hungarians, who also won their first Winter Games medal of any colour since 1980, held off China in second with Canada taking bronze.
Short track superpower South Korea were knocked out of contention halfway through the race after a fall left them three-quarters of a lap adrift.
Hungary — Csaba Burjan, Victor Knoch, Shaoang Liu and his older brother, Sandor Liu Shaolin — did it in style, setting a new Olympic record of 6min 34.510sec.
Hungary have participated in every Winter Games since 1924, with their tally now reading one gold, two silver and four bronze. — AFP
