Alpensia Sliding Center, a venue for sliding events during the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics including bobsleigh, skeleton and luge, was unveiled at Alpensia Resort, Pyeongchang on Monday.

The total length of the track is 2,018 meters to commemorate the year in which Pyeongchang Olympics is being held. However, the length of the track where the actual competitions will take place is 1,857 meters. The track also features 16 curves.
“Alpensia Sliding Center seems to be a moderately difficult course,” said Kang Kwang-bae, former bobsledder, skeleton racer and luger for South Korea and currently a professor at Korea National Sport University.
