biography

Jung has been competing in the Far East Cup in East Asia since 2005 , where he also celebrated his greatest successes. So far he has won 28 races in this series, twice the slalom and once the giant slalom. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Korean also won the overall ranking of the cup.

In 2010, Jung Dong-hyun was a member of the Korean Olympic team for the Vancouver Winter Games . His Olympic debut in slalom was disappointing, however, as he was eliminated in the first round. He was more successful a year later at the Winter Asian Games . Since boys' preferred disciplines were not held, he started in downhill , super-G and super-combined . He finished third in the downhill and won gold in the combined. At the Sochi Winter Games , Jung was eliminated again in the slalom, but achieved his first Olympic result with 41st place in the giant slalom.

Jung Dong-hyun only occasionally takes part in the Alpine Ski World Cup races; he started in Beaver Creek for the first time in December 2010 . In December 2014 he reached the second round in the Åre slalom for the first time and finally finished 25th, but received no World Cup points because he was too far behind. On January 5, 2017, he finally achieved World Cup points for the first time in the Zagreb slalom with rank 14. He is the first South Korean to do this.
