GANGNEUNG, South Korea (Reuters) - South Korean's skeleton winner Yun Sung-bin has said he just wants to enjoy the moment, instead of racing to the next move after he became Asia's first medallist in the sport at the Pyeongchang Games.

The 23-year-old, dubbed as "Iron Man," for his racing helmet looking strikingly like Marvel's superhero character, clinched victory by finishing 1.63 seconds ahead of Nikita Tregubov, an Olympic athlete from Russia, on Friday.
