Korean skeleton star Yun Sungbin is absolutely obsessed with Iron Man. He collects the figurines. He’s seen the movies. He knows every aspect of the superhero’s story.
Some even call him Iron Man. He may be called Gold Man soon.
South Korea has 26 gold medals in its Winter Olympic history — all on ice, all with skates involved, most from speed skating.
The nation doesn’t have much of a sliding history, but has made great strides as it builds momentum to host the PyeongChang Games.
And Yun is certainly one of the host nation’s top gold hopefuls, looking to parlay his home-track advantage into big things.
