Being a champion at the Olympics comes with a lot of perks. It’s like walking in the attention all the time. Though the Korean short-track speed skaters Hwang Dae-heon and Choi Min-jeong would have never thought about this wonderful reward they are receiving. However, the head of South Korea’s Olympic delegation Yoon Hong-geun has kept his promise to the champions.

In the Beijing Winter Olympics, the 22-year-old Hwang Dae-heon of South Korea won a gold medal in the 1500 meters event. While his compatriot Choi Min-jeong won the gold in 1000 meters speed skating event. Both the South Koreans displayed a great athletic show and made their country proud. Since their performance in the Olympics was out of the charts, hence their reward is very special as well.

Fried chicken for life

For their incredible accomplishment at the Beijing Winter Olympics, both the speed skaters have been awarded the chicken pension. As per the announcement, Hwang and Choi will get free fried chicken till the age of 60. To make the process convenient for the athletes, they’ll get the coupons worth 30,000 won (AU$32) to be availed every day. Furthermore, the amount will increase if the prices of fried chicken go up.

DIVE DEEPER

The unusual gesture came from the head of South Korea’s Olympic delegation, Yoon Hong-geun who owns the franchise Genesis BBQ. He promised the deal to athletes who will win the gold before the Olympics. Seems like he is the man of his words.
