Kim Yuran finished 22nd in the women’s monobob at the Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo Winter Olympics, failing to advance to the fourth and final run.

Kim posted 1 minute 00.51 seconds in the third run on Feb. 16 (local time) at the Cortina Sliding Center in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. Her combined time for runs 1-3 was 3:02.37, placing her 22nd among 24 athletes and outside the top 20 who qualified for run 4.

She was 23rd after the first two runs with a combined 2:01.86 and moved up one spot in the third run, but did not break into the top 20.

Kim placed 14th in the women’s two-woman bobsleigh at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. At the 2022 Beijing Games, she became the first South Korean to compete in the newly added monobob and finished 18th.
