But as it often does, the Internet found an additional reason to celebrate Yun: his helmet. That’s right, Yun’s helmet looks strikingly like [_Iron Man’s_](http://time.com/4394478/iron-man-riri-williams-tony-stark/ "undefined") outfit, complete with red and gold coloring and glowing eyes. Yun led his competitors after the first two runs, according to [NBC News](http://www.nbcolympics.com/news/yun-sung-bin-delivers-gold-give-south-korea-its-first-skeleton-medal "undefined"), and he won his gold by a significant 1.63 seconds. Nikita Tregubov, one of the Olympic Athletes from Russia, came in second place, and Great Britain’s Dom Parsons came in third. As Yun claimed his victory, fans on Twitter shared their enthusiasm that one of their favorite Marvel superheroes looked like he was getting a chance to participate in the PyeongChang Olympic Games. > [](https://twitter.com/4CivicGood/status/964337974941908992) > [](https://twitter.com/WufpakRed/status/964337539040600064) > [](https://twitter.com/ESPNMcGee/status/963959805923782656) > [](https://twitter.com/91ChrisCarter/status/964337585651896320) > [](https://twitter.com/trashidysadonis/status/964337365253787650) > [](https://twitter.com/bitterRedsfan/status/964337694783492096) > [](https://twitter.com/shrimpnastee/status/964338111714119682) > [](https://twitter.com/Laurpop44/status/964338100100124673) > [](https://twitter.com/rbglowboy/status/964090037683064832) > [](https://twitter.com/cfattovw/status/964337999432634368) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5162067/yun-sung-bin-olympics-iron-man-skeleton/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5162067/yun-sung-bin-olympics-iron-man-skeleton/"},"headline":"Why the Internet Is Obsessed With This Olympic Gold Medal Winner's Look","datePublished":"2018-02-16T04:11:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:41.902Z","description":"He reminded fans of a certain Marvel superheroHe reminded fans of a certain Marvel superhero","url":"https://time.com/5162067/yun-sung-bin-olympics-iron-man-skeleton/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Winter Olympics","2018 Pyeongchang Olympics"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5657957e2ea1fa82/698927dd22fb85f8d5e24c73/yun-sung-bin-korea-skeleton-olympics-iron-man.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Abigail Abrams","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/abigail-abrams/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5657957e2ea1fa82/698927dd22fb85f8d5e24c73/yun-sung-bin-korea-skeleton-olympics-iron-man.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Skeleton - Winter Olympics Day 6","caption":"Skeleton - Winter Olympics Day 6","creditText":"Matthias Hangst—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5162067/yun-sung-bin-olympics-iron-man-skeleton/","name":"Why the Internet Is Obsessed With This Olympic Gold Medal Winner's Look"}}]}] ```
