[이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] ‘Skeleton Iron Man’ Yoon Seong-bin (27, Gangwon Provincial Office) won a bronze medal in his first World Cup tournament this season.
Yoon Sung-bin won a bronze medal in the 6th World Cup Competition of the 2020-21 International Bobsleigh Skeleton Association (IBSF) held in St. Moritz, Switzerland on the afternoon of the 15th (Korean time).
Yoon Seong-bin was unable to participate in the World Cup until the 5th tournament due to problems such as self-isolation and expenses caused by Corona 19. The first race of the season was held late. As it was a real race after 11 months, I focused on restoring the sense of the game rather than performance.
However, Yoon Sung-bin was also strong on the St. Moritz track. The St. Moritz Track is a meaningful place where Yoon Sung-bin won the World Cup gold medal for the first time as an Asian player in February 2016. In the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, he also won the World Cup, showing a particularly strong appearance on this track.
In the first period, Yoon Sung-bin stayed in 5th place after only 1 minute 08 seconds 61 (start 4 seconds 78). I couldn’t demonstrate 100% of my skills due to the gap in the actual game. However, in the second period, it raised the ranking to 3rd place with 1 minute, 08 seconds and 71, and in the end, it took third place in the final ranking with a total of 2 minutes 17 seconds and 32 seconds. In the second period, Yoon Sung-bin’s starting speed of 4 seconds 74 was the fastest among the players.
Alexander Gasner (Germany), who recorded 2 minutes 16 seconds 85, took the first place, and Martin Dukurs (Latvia), who finished the race with 2 minutes 16 seconds 86, took the second place.
Yoon Sung-bin, through his agency All That Sports, said, “I am satisfied that I can participate in the World Cup so that I can finish the start not badly.” Revealed.
Yoon Seong-bin, who decorated the season’s first World Cup tournament with a bronze medal after a long time, is expected to compete in the 7th World Cup tournament held in Koenigse, Germany on the 22nd.
Meanwhile, Kim Ji-soo (27, Gangwon Provincial Office), who participated with Sungbin Yoon, ranked 13th with a record of 2 minutes, 18 seconds and 77 seconds. Prospect Seunggi Jeong (22, Catholic Kwandong University) failed to advance into the second period when the top 20 competed in the 25th place (1 minute 10 seconds 28) in the first period.
