PyeongChang (RWH) The International Olympic Committee (IOC)’s Coordination Commission for the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 has wrapped up its fourth visit to Korea, satisfied with progress. The Commission, staying for the first time in Gangneung, site of the Alpensia sliding centre as venue for the luge competitions in 2018, is also clear with the organisers that multiple areas require their focus if the first test events taking place early next year are to be delivered successfully. Speaking after the meeting, IOC Coordination Commission Chair Gunilla Lindberg said, “We are satisfied with progress, particularly on construction, but this positive momentum now needs to be continued. With the first test events less than one year away, POCOG and its partners will need to focus simultaneously on multiple objectives over the next year in order to deliver them successfully.“
