"The 2006 World Roller Speed Skating Championships closed on September 9. According to the rankings reported by the Korea Roller Sports Federation (KRSF) on the official website of the tournament, Korea won seven gold medals, eight silvers, and eight bronze medals and took second place next to Colombia which won 15 golds, 15 silvers and 11 bronzes.
From this record, it appears that Korea is a “powerhouse” in roller sports. But if you look carefully inside to seek where these medals came from, it suggests something else. The standings announced by the federation are a combination of the results of the junior class (for those 17 or under) and the senior class."
