TURIN, Italy - South Korea's Jin Sun-Yu won the women's 1,000-meter short track speedskating Saturday night, earning her second gold of the Winter Games.

China's Wang Meng, the 500 Olympic champion, earned the silver. Yang Yang of China took the bronze.

Jin's teammate, Choi Eun-Kyung, was disqualified for impeding in the four-woman final.

The Chinese led through the early stages of the nine-lap race. The South Koreans made their move late, with Jin overtaking Wang on next-to-last turn and holding on.
