The Korean skeleton team is a group of athletes who compete in the skeleton event of the Winter Olympics. Skeleton is a winter sliding sport in which athletes slide down an icy track at high speeds, lying face down on sleds. The Korean skeleton team has been competing in the sport since 2002, but began to gain international attention in recent years.
At the 2018 Winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Korean skeleton athletes won two medals, including gold and bronze. Yun Sung-bin, a member of the team, made history by becoming the first Korean to win a gold medal in the sport. He was also the first athlete outside of Europe and North America to win a medal in the sport at the Olympics.
The Korean skeleton team has been praised for its strong work ethic and dedication to the sport. The team trains at the Korean National Training Center in Pyeongchang, which was built for the 2018 Winter Olympics. The team is coached by former skeleton athlete John Farra, who previously coached the U.S. skeleton team.
The Korean skeleton team is expected to continue to be a strong force in the sport in the coming years, with the team's athletes consistently ranking among the top in international competitions.
