There is a 'father and son' who will play active roles as sports administrators and athletes, respectively, at the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics, which opens on the 19th. The main characters are Lee Gyeong-yeong (42), secretary general of the Korea Luge Competition Federation, who will serve as vice chairman of the luge competition committee, and his son Lee Dong-geun (14, Kwangwoon Middle School 2), goalie for the youth ice hockey team. Secretary-General Lee is living proof of Korean luge, which has created 'emotional drama' at every Olympics even in harsh environments. He became involved with luge while working as an intern at the German headquarters of the International Luge Federation in 2013, and in 2014, he was appointed as an external cooperation officer for the Korea Luge Federation, contributing to preparations for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. It was Secretary-General Lee who spearheaded the naturalization project of Eileen Frische (retired) from Germany, who is credited with raising the level of Korean women's luge to the next level. After the Pyeongchang Olympics, he served as Secretary General and oversaw the administration of the Korea Luge Sports Federation..
