    • Description

      Kim Heongyum became the first Korean man to win a medal at any Winter Olympic figure skating event, and it was a gold in front of his home crowd in the Winter Youth Olympic Games Gangwon 2024. 17-year-old Kim Heongyum moved up from bronze to gold with a stunning free skate in the Men’s Singles Figure Skating to thrill the crowd at the Gangneung Ice Arena. Adam Hagara (SVK) won silver with Yanhao Li (NZL) finishing in bronze medal position. American skater Jacob Sanchez agonisingly missed out on a medal. Sanchez was last to skate but failed to reproduce the quality of the free programme that had taken him into gold medal position and slipped to fourth place.
