Sports Promotion Corporation Holds World Curling Federation Accredited Class...International judges will be trained
The Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation announced that it held a '2025 International Judgment Course Recognized by the World Curling Federation' as part of the '2025 International Judgment Support Project' with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Minister Choi Hwi-young) and the Korea Curling Federation.

Thirty-two retired athletes, leaders and international judges participated in the four-day class held at Bandabi National Sports Center Cullingjang in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, and received international competition-level education from the official instructors of the World Curling Federation and the World Curling Academy (WCA).

As a result of this course, participants will simultaneously acquire the domestic civilian qualification of the `World Curling Federation International Judgment Qualification Class 3' along with the 'World Curling Federation International Judgment Qualification.' In addition, the Korean Curling Federation plans to select and dispatch one outstanding trainee to serve as a 'game timer' or technical agent at international competitions.




Meanwhile, a total of 49 graduates were produced at last year's International Judgment Course, of which 10 were selected as technical personnel for the '2025 LGT World Women's Curling Championship'. The Sports Corporation will continue to carry out various projects to foster international referees, including support for specialized classes for each event, capacity-building education, and qualification acquisition support.
