Seunggi Jeong, who won his first World Cup medal by winning a bronze medal at the 6th World Cup in the 2021-2022 season, is the hope of Korean skeleton. He finished in the final 10th place at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, and also swept three silver medals and one bronze medal at the 2022-2023 World Cup.

Jeong Seung-gi’s performance continued this season. He previously won his first World Cup gold medal in the second competition held in La Plagne, France, and continued his upward trend by winning a silver medal in this competition.

In addition, Jeong Seung-gi also enjoyed the joy of jumping from 2nd to 1st in the rankings as Beijing Winter Olympics gold medalist Christopher Grotaire (Germany), who was ranked 1st in the World Cup rankings this season, stayed in 5th place.

Seung-gi Jeong said through the Korea Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation, “Following the 2nd World Cup, I reached the podium in the 3rd World Cup, and I am happy to see consistent performance. He added strength to his voice, saying, “I will prepare hard so that I can finish with consistent good results in the remaining five World Cups.”

At the same time, he said, “It is very meaningful and honorable to finish the first half of the year ranked No. 1 in the world,” and “(So far) the start was good, but there was something disappointing in the driving aspect. If he improves on that, I think he will be able to finish on the podium in the remaining five World Cups this season. “I will work hard to repay you with better grades,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kim Ji-soo, who also participated, ranked 15th with a total time of 1 minute 46.16 seconds in the first and second periods, and the skeleton team plans to return to Korea on the 17th and take a short break before preparing for the 4th World Cup competition.
