Jung Dae-yoon Wins South Korea’s First World Cup Moguls Medal
Jung Dae-yoon became the first South Korean athlete to win a FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup medal. On Feb. 28, the young skier secured silver at the moguls event at the 2024-2025 FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Jung placed second with 79.08 points. Due to bad weather, the final round was canceled, and results were determined based on preliminary scores. Mikael Kingsbury (Canada) won gold with 81.17 points, while Ikuma Horishima (Japan) took bronze with 77.82 points.
Jung has shown consistent progress throughout the season. He finished fourth in two U.S. World Cup events and claimed victory at the Asian Cup in South Korea on Feb. 13. He also won silver at the 2023 and 2024 FIS Junior World Championships.
Moguls is a freestyle skiing event where athletes race down a steep, bumpy slope while performing aerial tricks.
