Women’s monobob makes its Olympic debut at the Beijing Games and Kim Yoo-ran will become Korea’s first-ever female monobob athlete. Last December, Kim won the IBSF Europe Cup women’s monobob gold medal.
 
Eight athletes will represent Korea in the men’s bobsleigh event, with pilot Won Yun-jong will be competing in both the two-man and four-man event. Won is a 2018 PyeongChang silver medalist in the four-man bobsleigh event.  
 
This January, Won partnered with Kim Jin-su to take sixth place in the two-man bobsleigh race at the BMW International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) World Cup.
