평창의 은메달을 일궈낸 그 끈기와 진심이 이제 전 세계 선수를 위한 큰…

Why a bobsledder from South Korea and a biathlete from Estonia are said to have received most votes in the election to the IOC Athletes' Comm is beyond me... never believed such IOC figures, for good reason. Anyway: Yunjong Won and Johanna Talihärm will be IOC members until 2034. pic.twitter.com/gPkg13jnMH
