BEIJING — Liu Shaoang of Hungary won Olympic gold in 500-meter short track speedskating on Sunday.

He led all the way and crossed the line in 40.338 seconds at Capital Indoor Stadium. It was Liu’s third medal of the Beijing Games, having earned bronze in the 1,000 and the mixed team relay.

Russian skater Konstantin Ivliev took silver. Steven Dubois of Canada earned bronze.

The A final was missing some of the biggest names. Defending champion Wu Dajing of China was relegated to the B final, which he won. Ren Ziwei of China and Liu's older brother, Liu Shaolin Sandor, were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Hwang Daeheon of South Korea went out in the semifinals after getting a penalty for a late pass that caused contact with Dubois. The Canadian was advanced to the A final and won his second medal in Beijing. He took silver in the 1,500.
