When German luger, Aileen Frisch, failed to make the national team in 2014, she thought her Olympic dream was over. But in an unexpected turn of events, she was approached by the South Korean national team to represent Team Korea at Pyeongchang 2018. Although hesitant at first, she eventually came around to the idea and with the Korean flag on her chest, she finished 8th in Pyeongchang, the highest ever finish for South Korea at a luge event.

Since then, South Korea has become a second home, and she will once again be representing Team Korea at Beijing 2022.
