The women’s 500 metres in short track speed skating at the 1998 Winter Olympics took place on 19 February at the White Ring. It featured an uncommon occurrence as two finalists failed to finish (one was disqualified) meaning that the winner of the B Final Chun Lee-Kyung won a bronze medal. A consequence of this is that Chun actually recorded a faster time in the final than the two women who won medals ahead of her.
