She is a two-time Olympic champion in 500 metres (2010 and 2014) and the 2010 world sprint champion. She is the current world record holder in women's 500 metres with the time of 36.36 seconds set in Salt Lake City on 16 November 2013,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title = World Records )〕 and also holds the South Korean record on 1000 metres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title = National Records – Korea (KOR) )〕 She has also won three World Championships medals in 500 metres, and has placed in the top three in World Cup events four times in this distance. Her first World Cup victory, however, came on the non-Olympic distance 100 metres. On the 1000 metres, however, she has never placed higher than fifth in international events (2010 World Sprint Championships, first 1000 metres). ==Early life and education== Lee Sang-hwa was born in 1989 to Lee U-geun (father), a technician at Hwigyeong Girls' School, and Kim In-sun (mother). Lee has an older brother, Lee Sang-jun, who used to be a skater, too. Influenced by her brother, she started skating when she was in first grade at Eunseok Elementary School. Although her brother excelled at skating, and won a skating competition held in his elementary school, Lee appeared to have more talent for skating than him. Since their parents could not afford to support the extra activity of both children, only she continued skating.〔http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2010/02/18/2010021800086.html〕〔http://www.bulkyo21.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=9600〕 Lee is remembered by her school teachers as a smart and active student. Lee and Mo Tae-bum, gold medalist at Vancouver 2010, are close friends since their elementary school period. Along with him, Lee is currently attending Korea National Sport University.〔http://www.sportsseoul.com/news2/sports/sports/2010/0217/20100217101030500000000_7972157519.html〕〔http://www.koreatimes.com/article/578068〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lee Sang-hwa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
