An online project to raise money for Andy Jung who has been selected for the Australian team in short-track speed skating for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games.


In early December at a Melbourne ice skating rink, Andy Jung qualified to represent Australia in the 500m speed skating event at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games in February. The same weekend, he also qualified for the 1500m race, bringing him a double shot at Olympic glory. 

He is now seeking for individual supporters to perform at his best in the upcoming 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. 

This project initiated by Australian Sports Foundation has received support through online, https://asf.org.au/athletes/andy-jung/, which plans to raise funds through crowdfunding.
