Hungarian Shaoang Liu was crowned Olympic short-track 500m champion in Beijing on Sunday.

Reigning world champion, bronze medalist in the 1000m and in the mixed relay last week, he was not worried during the final.

Encouraged by the public (Liu's father is Chinese), he led the race from the start.

Stalled in his wake, the Russian Konstantin Ivliev did not take any risks trying to overtake the Hungarian and settled for the silver medal.

The Canadian Steven Dubois adorned himself with bronze, perpetuating the tradition of his country in the discipline.
