The 500-meter sprint on the speedskating track is one of the most exciting races of the entire 2014 Olympic Games, and the women’s event lived up to the high expectations when South Korean star Sang Hwa Lee stole the show on Tuesday.

Ice Network shows how impressive the run was for Lee:

Not only did Lee earn the gold medal with an impressive combined time of 74.70 seconds, but she also broke the Olympic record with her performance. Lee has dominated the events leading up to this final and carried that success into the Winter Games.

With a field as deep as it has ever been—Olga Fatkulina of Russia and Margot Boer of the Netherlands put serious pressure on the top performer—Lee managed her best time in the history of the games and set the Olympic record at the most important moment.

Lee shined under the bright lights and now has a gold medal to prove it.

One of the most unique events of the 2014 Winter Olympics is the women’s biathlon pursuit. The event combines the endurance of cross-country skiing with the accuracy and mental fortitude of shooting on the rifle range.

No woman does it better than Darya Domracheva of Belarus.

Real Biathlon shared just how dominant Domracheva was in this event:

Not only did the Belarusian star shoot incredibly accurately throughout the competition, but she also managed to ski one of her most impressive times under the intense Olympic pressure in the event’s final.

The time of 29:30.7 was amazing and earned her the gold medal, but the almost 40 seconds between her and second-place finisher Tora Berger of Norway (30:08.3) showed just how lopsided her performance was on Tuesday.
