Kim Sang-beom of the 18th cohort is drawing attention for not only graduating as valedictorian but also winning the graduation Gyeongju.

The Korea Sports Promotion Foundation's Cycling and Racing Division held the graduation ceremony for the 18th cohort of racing candidates at the Incheon Yeongjongdo Racing Training Center on the 12th.

The 18th cohort candidates, who joined in March last year, completed all necessary training for professional racing over 1 year and 4 months, including water rescue education, racing theory and practical skills, and professional ethics, laying the foundation for their careers as professional athletes.

Notably, in the graduation commemorative Gyeongju held prior to the ceremony, candidate Kim Sang-beom crossed the finish line first to claim victory. He also received the honor of valedictorian graduation, awarded to candidates who completed the entire program with a diligent attitude and excellent grades during the training period, celebrating a double triumph.

The graduation ceremony was attended by Lee Seong-cheol, Director of the Cycling Division, and Jang Young-tae of the Korea Racing Association, along with over 120 guests including candidates' families and senior athletes, who congratulated the candidates on their new beginning.

In a phone interview with this newspaper, an official from the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation said, "We hope this 18th cohort of athletes will grow into leaders of Korean racing, becoming individuals of character who respect fans and colleagues."
