Moguls is a type of freestyle skiing that involves going down a course with a series of mounds and then showing aerial skills from a jump. Among them, dual moguls is a sport in which two people run side by side and compete to win.

In the general Winter Olympics, only mogul competitions where one person competes one at a time have been played, but dual moguls are scheduled to be introduced starting with the 2026 Milan/Cortina d’Ampezzo Games.

Lee Yun-seung, born in 2006, is a promising player who has been playing for the national team since 2021, and ranked third in the men’s dual moguls at the 2022 International Ski Federation (FIS) Europa Cup.

At the opening ceremony of the Gangwon 2024 Games, he took an oath pledging to do well as a representative of the athletes, and won a silver medal in the mixed team event and a gold medal in the individual event.

Lee Yoon-seung, who advanced to the semifinals as first place in the group stage on this day, defeated Gia Cohen (USA) 20-15 in the semifinals to advance to the finals, and won a thrilling one-point victory over Porter in the finals.

Meanwhile, Yoon Shin-i and Moon Seo-young (Sinsa Middle School) competed in the women’s dual mogul match held at the same venue that day, but neither of them passed the preliminaries.

In this event, Elizabeth Lemley (USA), silver medalist Lottie Rosie (Australia), and bronze medalist Abby McLarnan (USA) won gold, silver, and bronze medals, respectively.
