The Sports Ministry and Korean Sport and Olympic Committee announced on Thursday that Korea's women curlers who won silver at PyeongChang 2018 endured abuse from their coaches and are yet to receive a large sum of prize money from their previous competitions.
The joint probe team announced the results of their five-week investigation,... revealing the truth of the allegations raised by the Winter Olympic silver medalists.
They said that most of the allegations made by the curlers were found to be true and shockingly announced that the coaches owe nearly 85-thousand U.S. dollars in prize money to these athletes.
The ministry's probe targeted the family of Kim Kyung-doo, former vice president of the Korean curling body,… who announced he would no longer be involved in curling last December.
