Skating authorities confirmed an investigation is under way, but did not identify the coach.
Shim won the women’s short track 3,000-meter gold medal during the 2014 Sochi Olympics. She also took silver the 1,500 and bronze in the 1,000.
No details of the incident have been released, and It wasn’t immediately known if the 21-year-old was injured.
Shim is preparing for the Feb. 9-25 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
