The event was held twice on the 13th and 20th at the Incheon Sunhak International Ice Rink, and participants gathered at the Sunhak Ice Rink despite the early morning hours to faithfully participate in a one-point lesson with former national representatives of the Sports Toto Ice Rink.
In fact, this event was able to feel the hot interest and enthusiasm of local ice skaters, with all 100 participants recruited within about two hours of receiving applications.
The club members who participated in the event enjoyed the lessons with an active attitude, such as continuing questions about what they were curious about and the unique skills of the players.
In particular, at this event, a fan signing event organized to communicate with fans at the Sports Toto Ice Stage was also well received.
In the short track event, Kim Dong-wook and Park Jang-hyuk, who brought joy to the people by winning a silver medal in the 5,000m relay at the Beijing Winter Olympics, as well as Kim Gun-woo, who has emerged as one of the pillars of men's short track in Korea since last season, and Lee So-yeon, the only member of the team, participated in the event, giving ice skaters an unforgettable day.
In addition, Jeong Seon-gyo and Cho Sang-hyuk, including speed skating veteran Um Chun-ho, had a good time at requesting autographs from many fans, contributing to the expansion of the base of winter sports in Incheon Metropolitan City.
The event was cooperated and sponsored by Major Sports Industry Co., Ltd. (CEO Park Dong-kyu), which operates the Incheon Metropolitan City Sports Council and Sunhak International Skating Center, and Gat Sports Co., Ltd. (CEO Kwak Yuna), a skate equipment company. The Incheon Sports Council helped by recruiting participants and promoting them through banners, and in the case of the major sports industry, all essential parts of the event, such as renting an ice rink and renting equipment, were provided free of charge, and played a strong role as supporters. Sea Sports provided commemorative T-shirts to all participants.
Song Young-woong, CEO of Sports Toto Korea, said"I would like to thank the ice lovers of Incheon Metropolitan City for their interest and participation in this year's continued enthusiastic support. We will continue to do our best to make Incheon Metropolitan City a mecca for winter sports through more meaningful events."
