Yoo Seung-eun (Sungbok High School), aiming for the first Olympic "multi medal" in Korean snowboarding history, stopped for a while in bad weather.

The organizing committee for the 2026 Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics announced that the snowboard women's slopestyle final, which was scheduled to be held at the Lvigno Snowpark in Italy on the 17th (Korea time), will be postponed due to bad weather.

The organizing committee said, "It is difficult to proceed with the game due to poor weather conditions in the region," adding, "The changed schedule will be confirmed today."

Initially, the game was scheduled to start at 9 p.m. on the same day, but the schedule was postponed as heavy snow in the Lvigno region made it impossible to maintain the course and secure safety.

Yoo Seung-eun became the first Korean women's snowboarder to win a bronze medal with 171.00 points in the big air event held on the 10th.

He also scored 76.80 points in the slopestyle qualifying round on the 15th, settling for the final in third place overall, raising the possibility of adding a medal.

In line with the rescheduled schedule, Yoo Seung-eun will again hunt for multi-medal for the first time in Korean snowboarding history.
