요약정보

The National Winter Sports Festival‚ the largest winter sports event in Korea‚ kicked off this week in Pyeongchang conveniently overlapping with the visit by the IOC evaluators.
The four-day festival spiced up the festive mood surrounding Pyeongchang's bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics as over two-thousand participants across Korea gathered in the town‚ showing their passion for winter sports.
Festival events this year include the biathlon and cross-country‚ which are both lesser known in Korea compared to figure and speed-skating‚ both events where Korean athletes are strong competitors.
[Interview : Lee Bong-woo‚ Secretary-general
Biathlon Union of Korea ] "This year‚ we created a biathlon competition for elementary school students. Considering that it takes at least seven to eight years for one to become a national athlete‚ this will have a positive effect in the future of Korean biathletes."
And beginners are already aiming high.
[Interview : Joo Ye-lim‚ Biathlon participant
Elementary school student ] "It's only been a month but I'm loving it. I want to become a national athlete when I grow up."
[Interview : Kim In-gyu‚ Biathlon participant
Middle school student ] "If Korea hosts the 2018 Winter Olympics‚ I want to be a part of it. So I'm going to practice harder."
However‚ insiders also add that more attention and support is needed in order for these young athletes to gain more competitiveness on the global stage.
Korea's alpine town of Pyeongchang may become the next host of the Winter Olympics‚ and because of this‚ it's time for Korea to put more effort into fostering young‚ talented athletes who can shoot the country's winter sports up to the next level.
