The South Korean bobsleigh team of Won Yun-jong and Seo Young-woo secured a season-ending No. 1 ranking with a victory in Germany on Saturday.

Won, the pilot, and Seo, his brakeman, captured their second career gold medal at the eighth and the final International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) World Cup of the 2015-2016 season in Konigssee, Germany, with a combined time of 1:39.50 after two runs. Their first World Cup title came in January in Whistler, British Columbia.

The South Koreans had the fastest time in the first run with 49.59 seconds and posted the second-best time in the next run with

49.91 seconds. They edged out Beat Hefti and Alex Baumann of Switzerland by 0.05 second.

Won wrapped up the season as the No. 1-ranked pilot with 1578 points on the IBSF standings, 60 points better than Oskars Melbardis of Latvia. Won also finished first in the World Cup standings with 1562 points, thanks to two gold and three bronze medals in eight events.

Two weeks ago, the South Koreans finished seventh at the IBSF World Championship in Austria, with Se battling a slight back injury.

Won and Seo, who finished 18th at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, are considered the best bobsleigh medal hopes for the host South Korea at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games. (Yonhap)
