[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Ssangbangwool announced on the 18th that it will sponsor biathlon athlete Kim Seunggyo.

Ssangbangwool plans to actively support Kim Seunggyo to ensure stable athletic activities through the sponsorship contract. Under this contract, Kim Seunggyo will wear hats or uniforms emblazoned with the Ssangbangwool company logo and the TRY brand in all competitions he participates in over the next year.

Kim Seunggyo, sponsored by Ssangbangwool, is the first biathlon athlete to study abroad in Russia and gained recognition as the youngest competitor in the opening event of the World Championships. He then won 2nd place at the Moscow Championships in Russia and is currently a member of the national biathlon candidate team.

Yang Seongil, Chairman of Ssangbangwool Group, said, “We are pleased to be able to work with biathlon ace Kim Seunggyo,” and added, “Ssangbangwool will continue to provide generous support at the group level so that Kim Seunggyo can focus on training in a stable environment.”

Kim Seho, CEO of Ssangbangwool, said, “Biathlon is a less popular sport among Winter Olympic events and requires much attention,” and expressed his hope that “at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, biathlon will become widely recognized as a sport loved by the public.”

Kim Seunggyo said, “With the support of Ssangbangwool, I hope public interest in the less popular sport of biathlon will increase, and I will do my best to repay this with good results in the future.”

Meanwhile, Ssangbangwool also sponsors KLPGA golf player Seo Hee.
