(ATR) Constantly on the move, Pyeongchang Winter Olympics leader Yang Ho Cho is deep into delivering the Games.
This week, Cho returned from the Czech Republic, where he led a delegation from the organizing committee to the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship.
The leader of the successful bid for the first Winter Olympics in South Korea, Cho returned to POCOG last July when it was mired in inefficiency, tepid sponsorship results and doubts about venues.
In February, the IOC issued a warning that better work was needed in South Korea.
Since then Cho has immersed himself in the work of POCOG. While he is still chairman of the Hanjin Group, the conglomerate noted as the owner of Korean Air Lines, Cho is reported to have shifted his attentions to the Winter Olympics.
More in this report from the Korean Times.
