"My job was to widen the gap and relieve pressure for my teammates on the final two legs," she said.

As the anchor, Dinigeer crossed the finish line with ease, thanks to the strong efforts of her teammates.

"It wasn't just my performance — it was a true team effort," Dinigeer said.

"All four of us contributed toward the victory."

Dinigeer, who competed in all three women's events, earned three podium finishes: gold in the relay, silver in the 5km free, and bronze in the sprint classic. The team celebrated their victory together at the finish line, proudly waving the national flag.

Chi, 27, who had been studying in Russia from October to early January without getting a chance to train regularly, claimed gold in the relay and bronze in the women's 5 km free. She expressed satisfaction with her performance despite the challenges.

"Balancing academics and training was difficult," she said. "If I have the opportunity to prepare for the Olympic cycle, I will focus more on training and continue to pursue my passion and dreams."

"Every athlete has their own dream. Personally, I aspire to compete at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. Having participated in the Pyeongchang and Beijing Games, I hope to reach a higher level before the end of my career and give these final years my best effort."
