Career

Choe is from Manpo, North Korea, where his father gave him a pair of skates, sparking his interest in speed skating. Choe first went to the Manpo Youth Sports School and continued training at the Ganggye-dong First Education University.[1]

2018 Winter Olympics

Choe competed in the 2018 Winter Olympics in the men's 1500 metres discipline.[1] He finished last in his heat with a time of 2:18.213 and did not advance to the semifinal,[3] despite being enthusiastically cheered on by a group of 100 North Korean cheerleaders in the stands.[4] Before the heat, he had been injured during a training session in Pyeongchang.[2]

gollark: The reverse-proxy solution is in my opinion the best one, although it would require some config.
