Kim Sang-gyeom (37, High1) will start creating a new history.

Kim Sang-kyum ran on the blue course in the semifinals of the men's parallel snowboarding competition at the 2026 Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics at Lvigno Snowpark in Italy on the 8th, advancing to the final with a time of 43.37 seconds against Terbel Zampirov (21, Bulgaria).

Kim Sang-gyeom, who passed the preliminary round in eighth place, wrote an extraordinary event while Lee Sang-ho (31, Nexen Wyngaard), a member of the Korean snowboard parallel competition, was eliminated.

Kim Sang-gyeom joined the round of 16 in eighth place in the preliminary round and advanced to the quarterfinals by beating Gian Kosir (42, Slovenia), who passed in ninth place.

Kosir, who is competing in the Olympics for the fifth time, passed the preliminary round with better performance as a veteran of Gwanrok, who holds one silver and two bronze medals, but it was not easy to see Kim Sang-gyeom as a top dog.

However, Kim Sang-gyeom, who was behind by 0.09 seconds in the first section, crossed the finish line without difficulty while Kosir lost his balance and collapsed ahead of the second record check section, and Kosir finished the race without completing it.

Kim Sang-gyeom said, "The next opponent was trickier. Fischnaller, who finished first in the preliminary round. It was Roland Fischnaller (46, Italy) who took the home course for the seventh time in the Olympics.

There was a variable. Fischnaller chose the red course. Although the blue course is known to be advantageous, there were not a few players who won the red course, and Fischnaller, who had a better record and had a course option, changed the course boldly, unlike the round of 16.

In the first course, Kim Sang-gyeom was pushed back by 0.15 seconds, but he chased closely ahead of the second record measurement section and succeeded in reversing by 0.06 seconds, beating Fischnaller, who lost his balance and left the course.

Kim Sang-gyeom, who was in the semifinals, once again started the race on the blue course. Kim Sang-gyeom, who was pushed back to 0.21 seconds on the first course, succeeded in turning the tables by 0.03 seconds on the second course and succeeded in the final by winning once again until the last course.

With this, Kim Sang-gyeom secured at least a silver medal. At the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, Lee Sang-ho faced a golden opportunity to turn his first medal and snowboard best performance into gold.
