South Korean athletes team will compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics in the eastern ski resort of Pyeongchang with a new and upgraded bobsleigh produced by Hyundai Motor.
Hyundai's research center has upgraded the bobsleigh for South Korean athletes since it was unveiled a year ago. Hyundai said the new bobsleigh, unveiled Sunday, showed minimized air resistance, better cornering and improved resilience of the chassis.
In 2008, South Korea rode a bobsleigh with "USA" printed on its side Instead of “KOREA”because they rented a secondhand one. Through hard training, the national team has made a remarkable achievement, grabbing a gold medal at the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation World Cup in January.
