2018 Korean Curling coaching scandal is a sports scandal...


 * Did you know
 * ... a 27-year old Korean Olympic medalist was sidelined by her coach after getting married?

Timeline:
 * February 2018: Curling at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Women's tournament (Silver - South Korea)
 * November 2018: Curlers' accusation. Their coaches tried to exclude skip Kim Eun-jung from the team and attempted to "privatize" the team. "(The coaches) tried to rule Kim Eun-jung off the team after she got married in July," the curlers said in the letter. "They separated the skip and the team captain's role to minimize Kim Eun-jung's status on the team. They also tried not to include Kim Eun-jung in team training." In addition, the curlers claimed that the coaches also tried to block Kim Eun-jung from taking part in the PyeongChang Paralympics opening ceremony. Kim Eun-jung eventually served as a cauldron lighter with wheelchair curler Seo Soon-seok at the ceremony.

 * February 2019: Government Verdict. The sports ministry launched a probe into the athletes' charges, and the ministry concluded in February 2019 that those allegations turned out to be true. The Kim family also owed the athletes millions in prize money won at international competitions. The ministry rejected the Kim family's appeal and ordered the KCF to mete out an appropriate punishment.


 * 经过3个多月的调查，前韩国冰壶协会副会长金京斗确实克扣比赛奖金，其中涉及3000万韩元比赛奖金去向不明，9386.8万韩元比赛奖金及赞助费用未发放到运动员手中，此外还涉及私吞1900万韩元的训练补贴. 而任用家族成员参与冰壶事业及将庆北冰壶场馆私有化等情况也均存在.


 * November 2020: Federation's sanction. The Korean Curling Federation (KCF) announced Monday that its former Vice President Kim Kyung-doo, his daughter Kim Min-jung and her husband Jang Ban-seok will no longer be allowed to set foot in the sport. ( Kim Kyung-doo was a founding member of the KCF in 1994. Kim Min-jung was the head coach of the women's team when South Korea won silver at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. )

From wikipedia:


 * This included trying to get Kim Cho-hi kicked off the team so Min-jung could be the teams alternate and have a chance to get a medal (as the coaches of the teams don't) and trying to exclude skip Kim Eun-jung from team practices after they learned she was planning on starting a family.
