At this Winter Olympics, in addition to the south Korean team's advantage of the short track speed skating medals, some other advantages of the event almost completely destroyed. Especially in the women's curling competition, as the silver medalists of the last Winter Olympics, they did not even break into the top 4 at the Beijing Winter Olympics. In the face of such a failure, the Korean Curling Federation is also very disappointed, even unwilling. They expressed their strong support for the development of women's curling and decided to bid for the Women's World Curling Championship.
According to the South Korean media - Yonhap News Agency, after the Korean women's curling was out, kim Yong-bin, president of the Korean Curling Federation, comforted all the team members for the first time. They also made a commitment that they would apply for the Women's World Curling Championship for the future development of Women's Curling in South Korea.
Jin Rongbin said that during the Beijing Winter Olympics, he met with the president of the World Curling Association and proposed to him the idea of bidding for the World Championships.
South Korean women's curler, who lost 4-8 to Sweden in the final round-robin match, finally failed to qualify for the final four. As silver medalists at the last Winter Olympics, their strength is clearly in serious decline. If the Korean Curling Federation does bid for the Women's World Curling Championships, it may be a good opportunity for their women's curling event to improve their strengths.
As we all know, South Korea has always been very good at bidding for the World Series, from the Olympic Games, the World Cup to the Winter Olympics, they have been successfully held. Therefore, they are also very experienced in organizing competitions. Events like the Women's World Curling Championships, as long as they want to bid, should not be a problem.
At present, the development of Curling in South Korea has also entered the right track. Last year, with the support of the Korean Curling Federation, they set up a number of high school and college curling teams, hoping to tap some outstanding reserve talents from teenagers. It can be said that their determination to develop curling projects is still very strong.
