밀라노 코르티나 동계패럴림픽 개막… 한국 메달 기대주는?

The 2026 Winter Paralympics kicks off on this Friday and Team Korea is partaking in virtually every sporting discipline.
Our correspondent Park Kun-woo has a preview.

A new chapter begins in Italy as the Milano-Cortina Paralympics start on Friday.
20 Korean athletes across five of the six sporting disciplines are set to compete.
Team Korea is aiming to win at least one gold and one bronze medal, while finishing within the top 20.
Among them, the mixed doubles wheelchair curling team of Baek Hye‑jin and Lee Yong‑seok the world's top-ranked pair is raising expectations for a medal after winning multiple preliminary matches already.


"I'm very honored to be competing in the Games for the second time. Our goal's to win, so we hope you'll watch our journey. Your support will mean a lot to us."

The team will face all eight opponents in a round-robin format in a bid to advance to the semifinals.
Also, Kim Yoon-ji, the winner of the 2026 Para Cross-Country World Cup, is aiming to become the first Korean female athlete to win gold in a Winter Paralympic sport in her debut at the Games.


"My goal's always to perform better than the athletes who are stronger than me. Winning a medal is one of my goals, but as this is my first Paralympics, I want to show my very best."

Other athletes to watch include Sin Eui-hyun a para cross-country skiing veteran who brought two of Korea's three medals six years ago in PyeongChang.

"The last time Korea won a medal was at PyeongChang. If we win one this time, it could mark a turning point for Korea's winter para sports. Athletes have been shedding blood, sweat, and tears, so it's meaningful in itself regardless of strong results."

With this edition of the Paralympics marking its 50th anniversary, the Games are drawing even greater attention, featuring the largest number of participants ever, with five countries, including Portugal, taking part for the first time.
More than 600 athletes from 56 countries will compete in the Games over ten days, running until March 15th.
