Kim Named Ambassador

OLYMPIC figure skating gold medalist Kim Yu-na has been appointed as an official ambassador for the 2018 Winter Games in her native South Korea.

The organizing committee for the Pyeongchang Olympics announced the appointment yesterday, saying it expected “her to take the lead in promoting the games to the world”.

Kim, who won gold at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and silver at the 2014 Sochi Games, helped campaign for Pyeongchang during the city’s candidacy and was one of the presenters for the city at the International Olympic Committee meeting in South Africa in 2011 when it was selected as host.
