[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Ssangyong Motor announced on the 20th that it will sponsor the athletes participating in the '2020 Paragliding Korea League.'


Along with this, the video released on Ssangyong Motor's official YouTube channel showcases the charm of the Rexton Sports brand and features thrilling paragliding flights by the sponsored athletes, including precise landing scenes rarely seen in the media.


The 2020 Paragliding Korea League was held last weekend in Danyang, Chungbuk. The competition, consisting of two events?precision landing and cross-country?was fiercely contested as the results contribute points necessary for qualifying for the World Championship hosted by the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI).


In this event, among the sponsored athletes, Seokcheol Oh (overall 1st place in the National Team Selection League from 2017 to 2019) achieved an excellent result by placing 3rd in the cross-country category.



Besides Oh, Ssangyong Motor has signed sponsorship agreements with four top domestic athletes with outstanding skills and records, including female gold medalist Dakyum Lee from the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, Taesu Lee who ranked 1st in the 2019 Korean Championship (precision landing category), and Yongtae An who placed 7th overall in the 2017 World Cup (Italy). The company provides support such as glider assistance to help them perform at their best.
