PyeongChang Olympic Sliding Center to host International Events – Agreement signed on February 16, 2025

PyeongChang (FIL/17 Feb 2025) The PyeongChang Olympic Sliding Center is strengthening its role as a leading winter sports center in Asia through a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the International Luge Federation (FIL) and other key stakeholders.
