Kim, with pushers Kim Hyeong-geun and Kim Seon-uk and brakeman Lee Geon-woo, posted a combined time of 1 minute, 49.50 seconds on Saturday (Korean time) at the Cortina Sliding Center in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, ranking eighth among 27 teams.
The team was eighth in Heat 1 in 54.60 seconds and recorded the sixth-fastest time in Heat 2 at 54.90.
In the same event, the South Korean sled piloted by Seok Yeong-jin, with Lee Do-yoon, Jeon Su-hyeon and Chae Byeong-do, is 23rd after two heats in 1:50.73.
