The well-known Korean flag carrier, Korean Air, decided to take the field, making its contribution in the realization of the bob that will be used by the team of South Korea Pyeongchang Olympic Games in 2018.
The project of Korean Air is quite ambitious and will take advantage of the valuable collaboration of the three major universities in the Asian country: Korea National Sport University, Sungkyunkwan University and Inha University.
The Koreans believe a lot in this initiative, in fact it is no coincidence that the engineers have decided to start planning as early as next May in order to carry out the first tests on the track since November. The intent is to leverage the next four years to get to the Olympics home with the best bob around.
"The modern bob are made with carbon fibers which are the same materials used in the world of aeronautics - reported in a footnote Korean Air - our company in this field has a high level of know-how in the field that will be great help for bobbisti. "
The interest of the airline also is not at all random, the CEO of Hanjin Group, which controls Korean Air, Cho Yang-ho also holds the position of vice-president of the Korean Olympic Committee and its political support was decisive for the award by the Korea Olympics of 2018.
The Korean team bob has grown considerably in recent years, especially in the circuit of North American Cup-winning Five circles in the latest edition in the eighteenth place. However Cho Korea could achieve better results if it had used the bob more competitive than the Dutch so far employed. Hence the decision of Korean Air to become personally engaged in the world of the gut.
