Lee Yun-seung (Song Gok-go) of the national freestyle skiing team won a gold medal in the men's dual mogul competition at the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games.

Lee Yoon-seung beat America's Huff Porter 18-17 in the Gangwon 2024 Freestyle Ski Men's Dual Mogul final held at High1 Resort in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do on the 27th.

Yunseung Lee advanced to the semifinals as the top player in the group stage and defeated Zia Cohen (USA) 20-15 in the semifinals. He then won a thrilling one-point victory over Porter in the final.

Lee Yun-seung, who won a silver medal in the mogul mixed team with Yoon Shin-i (Bongpyeong High School) the day before, achieved the feat of winning medals for two consecutive days.

This gold medal is the first gold medal won by a Korean athlete in the freestyle skiing event at the Winter Youth Olympics.

This is the fourth gold medal for the Korean team, following Joo Jae-hee (Han Gwang-go) in the short track men's 1,500m, Jae-hwan Jae-hwan (Sangji Daegwallyeong High School) in the men's bobsled monobob (single-seater), and Chae-un Lee (Suri High School) in the men's snowboard slopestyle.

Freestyle ski mogul is an event that shows high-level jumping techniques such as backflips and twists while going down a slope and passing through a gate. Victory or loss is determined by scoring points, taking into account technical difficulty, jumping movements, and time required.

Lee Yun-seung, who has been a member of the national team since 2021, is a promising athlete who ranked third in the men's dual moguls at the 2022 International Ski Federation (FIS) Europa Cup.

Yoon Shin-i and Moon Seo-young (Shinsa Middle School) participated in the women's dual mogul match held at the same location on this day, but both failed to pass the preliminary round.

Kim Hyeon-gyeom (Han Advertising), who is aiming for a gold medal in men's figure skating, took third place in the short program.

Kim Hyun-gyeom received 69.28 points in the men's figure skating single short program held at Gangneung Ice Arena on this day. Sanchez Jacob of the United States took first place with 76.38 points, and second place was Slovakia's Hagara Adam with 75.06 points.

The men's single free skating competition will be held on the 29th.

Lee Ji-hoon (17) and Lee Chae-won (16), who participated in Group A of the mixed doubles (mixed duo) preliminary session 2 held at the Gangneung Curling Center in Gangwon-do, lost 5-9 against the powerful Canada.

Due to the loss in the first game, the Korean national team was placed in 5th place out of 6 teams, but as there are still 4 games left, there is still a possibility of obtaining a ticket to the quarterfinals, which is given to the top two teams.
