Alpensia Cross-Country Centre Disciplines

Soohorang The name ‘Soohorang’ is a combination of several meanings in the Korean language. ‘Sooho’ is the Korean word for ‘protection’, meaning that it protects the athletes, spectators and all participants of the Olympic Games. ‘Rang’ comes from the middle letter of ‘ho-rang-i’, which means ‘tiger’, and also from the last letter of ‘Jeongseon Arirang’, a traditional folk music of Gangwon Province, where the host city is located.

Bandabi The bear is symbolic of strong will and courage. The Asiatic Black Bear is also the symbolic animal of Gangwon Province. In the name ‘Bandabi’,  ‘banda’ comes from ‘bandal’ meaning  ‘half-moon’, indicating the white crescent on the chest of the Asiatic Black Bear, and ‘bi’ has the meaning of celebrating the Games.
