Countdown to the Olympic Games

Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018
PyeongChang will present one of the most compact Games in Winter Olympic history. Located in the Gangwon Province, there will be two central venue clusters in PyeongChang: the Gangneung Coastal Cluster (Speed Skating, Figure Skating, Short Track Speed Skating, Ice Hockey, and Curling) and the PyeongChang Alpensia Cluster (Alpine Skiing, Cross Country Skiing, Ski Jumping, Biathlon, Bobsleigh, Skeleton, and Luge).
Other alpine events will also take place at Jeongseon Alpine Centre, while Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard will be hosted at Bokwang Snow Park. The Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 vision is to explore new horizons. And, with a budding youth population and a strong strategic position in Asia, PyeongChang hopes the Olympic Winter Games will provide a legacy of new growth and new potential.
