Kim Kwan-kyu

“I felt goose bumps, as if I had won an Olympic gold medal. Yet, I’m also a bit worried. This is the opportunity to step forward in winter sports.
Preparing for the Sochi Olympics is as important as the PyeongChang Games.”

“There will be an effort at federation level to realize the best results.”


Kim Hyun-ki

“We knew that we would make it and we believed that we would make it. We are so happy that we are involved in the development of facilities for the ski jump. Since our city has been awarded the right to hold the 2018 Olympics, I will hoist the national flag at the highest point in PyeongChang (as if having won a gold medal).”



Jung Dong-hyun

“I’ve been praying for this to come true for a long time. It reminds me of our past two failures.”
