Jung was left red-faced on Monday after being the anchor for his three-man team in the men's 3,000m relay final at Qintang Roller Sports Centre. "I made a rather big mistake. I didn't come at full speed to the finish line. I let my guard down too early," said a sheepish Jung."We all worked very hard together for this, and it's all my fault."
