Park Won-gyu (Class 14, A1) has claimed the title of the year's first Grand Prix race.
On the 16th, Park Won-gyu outpaced strong competitors in the Speed On-bae Grand Prix final to cross the finish line first.
Champion Park Won-gyu secured a prize of 10 million won and achieved the milestone of his first-ever Speed On-bae victory in his career.
In the previous season, Park Won-gyu finished as runner-up at the Seoul Olympics 37th Anniversary Tournament and placed third in the year-end Grand Prix, repeatedly falling just short of the top spot.
Park Won-gyu was regarded as a top contender for the title even before the race. He lived up to expectations in Gyeongju as well. He executed a stable start the moment the starting signal was given and completely seized early control through the inner turn. From then on, he never relinquished the lead. He effortlessly outpaced his competitors, showcasing a flawless solo run.
Park Won-gyu celebrated his victory, stating, "I was assigned lane 1 in the final, so I focused on the start to maximize the advantage of that lane. A clean start without any deviation was key."
Meanwhile, Kim Min-jun secured the runner-up position, narrowly edging out the competition in a close finish.
