Lee, 32, had previously won a bronze and a silver at world championships with a different partner, Shin Seung-chan, before completing her medal collection with the gold with Baek. "I want to thank Hana for helping me realize this dream at 32." Baek, 25, responded: "I had no medal from world championships and I finally got one thanks to So-hee." Lee and Baek were not considered a gold medal favorite before the competition.
