An official from Jung Jae-won's side said, "Jung Jae-won was diagnosed with Corona 19 yesterday and could not leave for Heirenbein, the Netherlands, where the tournament will be held on the 6th."
Jaewon Jeong, who won the silver medal in the men's mass start at the Beijing Olympics, was about to finish the season with the World Cup Finals to be held in the Netherlands from the 12th to the 13th.
After the Olympics, Jung Jae-won was in good shape and won four gold medals in the national winter sports.
After that, he continued to train, but he was diagnosed with the virus the day before his departure and ended this season unfortunately.
On the other hand, only Kim Min-seon, the female national team sprinter, will participate in this tournament.
