Was this the David vs. Goliath showdown? On the 3rd (local time), at the Paris Olympics Judo competition held at the Arena Champ de Mars in Paris, France, a famous scene that can only be seen in the mixed team event took place. It was the quarterfinal match between Korea and France, where Lee Jun-hwan of the men's 81kg class and Teddy Riner of the unlimited class faced each other. Riner, who won the unlimited class final the day before by defeating Kim Min-jong, is a legend in the world of judo, having won four Olympic gold medals and three bronze medals. He added a gold medal in the mixed team event on this day, becoming the two-time champion of the competition.

+90kg class Lee Jun-hwan is competing against France's Teddy Riner in the quarterfinals of the mixed team judo event at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the Champ de Mars in Paris, France on the 3rd (local time).

 

The fact that two players in different weight classes are facing off is the charm of the mixed team event. The mixed team event, which was newly introduced at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and was held for the second time in Paris, is a match in which a total of six players participate in three weight classes for men (73kg, 90kg, and over 90kg) and three weight classes for women (57kg, 70kg, and over 70kg), and the first to win four games wins. However, sometimes a player in a given weight class is absent, or a player in a lower weight class participates for tactical reasons.

 

Lee Jun-hwan, who plays in the men's 81kg class, participated in the 90kg class in the mixed team event at this competition. However, in the quarterfinals that day, he participated in the over 90kg class, which was unusual. There were two hidden reasons. First of all, it was because of the knee injury that Kim Min-jong suffered the day before in the individual event. He received treatment the day before and was not unable to play, but there was a concern that if his injury worsened while playing against France, which was one level stronger, it would affect the remaining games. In addition, Han Joo-yeop, who is one weight class higher than Lee Jun-hwan, plays mostly with his left hand, and since Riner is strong against left-handed players, Lee Jun-hwan ended up playing. For Lee Jun-hwan, who is considered the future of Korean judo, this is a chance to face the world's best player on the world's best stage.

 

The result was Riner's victory. Lee Jun-hwan lost the game by a drop just 1 minute and 34 seconds into the game. Lee Jun-hwan, whom we met in the mixed zone after his victory in the bronze medal game, said, "I thought I could win if I moved quickly, but Teddy really seemed like an impersonal person. Still, I was honored and happy to be able to compete with Teddy, who is famous in France, on the stage of the Paris Olympics." He laughed, saying, "I thought my back would break after doing one shoulder throw," and looked at Kim Min-jong, who was standing next to him, and said, "I realized once again that Min-jong hyung is really great."

 

Hwang Hee-tae, the head coach of the men's national team, also said, "I told Jun-hwan to come without getting hurt, but he just kept rushing at Teddy, saying he would beat him once. A competitor is a competitor." Lee Jun-hwan finished his first Olympics with two bronze medals. He added the weight of an invaluable experience to this. Lee Jun-hwan, who is considered the future of Korean judo, grew a little more at the Paris Olympics.  안전놀이터

 

 

 

 

 

The 3rd match of the 2024 Paris Olympics Group A women's handball match between Korea and Norway held at Arena Paris Sud 6 in Paris, France on the morning of the 30th (local time). Ryu Eun-hee is shooting. 

 

The women's handball team, the only team in Korea to qualify for the Paris Olympics, is in the midst of a 'game' to advance to the quarterfinals.

 

Slovenia, which is competing with Korea for 4th place, lost to Sweden 23-27 in the final match of Group A in the 5th round of the Paris Olympics on the 3rd (local time). Germany also lost to Norway 18-30 in the same group match that followed. The two teams finished the group stage with 1 win and 4 losses (2 points). Korea will then face Denmark in the final group stage match at 4 AM on the 4th.

 

Korea has played 4 matches so far and has 1 win and 3 losses. Denmark, with 3 wins and 1 loss, is in 3rd place in Group A. Even if it wins the match against Korea and becomes tied with Norway and Sweden for 4 wins and 1 loss, Denmark will have a hard time raising its ranking as it is behind the two teams in goal difference. Therefore, Denmark is likely to conserve its strength in the final match in preparation for the tournament.

 

For Korea, even a draw is enough to advance to the quarterfinals in 4th place with 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses (3 points). If they lose, the three teams Korea, Germany, and Slovenia will be tied with 1 win and 4 losses, and Germany, the only team that has scored more goals than they conceded, will advance on goal differential. Korea's goal differential for the last 4 games is -18. In the group stage, where a total of 12 teams are divided into 2 groups, the top 4 teams in each group will be given tickets to the quarterfinals.

 

Korea pulled off an upset by winning 23-22 in its first group match against Germany on the 25th of last month. Germany was a strong team that finished 6th in the World Championships held in December last year, which was considered a preliminary match for the Olympics. At that time, Korea finished 22nd. Since then, Korea has lost to Slovenia, Norway, and Sweden in succession, but has received favorable reviews in terms of performance. They lost to Norway, a gold medal candidate, by 6 points (20-26), and had a close match with Sweden (lost 21-27), the 4th place team in the last World Championship, by 2 points in the middle of the second half. 카지노사이트

On the 3rd (local time), South Korean players are encouraging each other after losing to Ukraine in the women's sabre team final held at the Grand Palais in Paris, France. 

 

The Korean women's sabre team suffered a bitter defeat to the determined Ukraine, and finished their first Olympic final with a silver medal. The

Korean women's sabre national team, Jeon Ha-young, Choi Se-bin, Yoon Ji-soo, and Jeon Eun-hye, who are ranked 4th in the International Fencing Federation (FIE), lost 42-45 to the 3rd-ranked Ukraine in the Paris Olympic final held at the Grand Palais in Paris on the 3rd.

 

Korea finished rounds 2-8 without giving up the lead to Ukraine in any round except for the first round, where Ukrainian 'ace' Ulkha Karlan (3rd) took the lead 5-3. The last 9th round also came with a 3-point lead of 40-37.

 

However, Jeon Ha-young, who played the role of the 'closer' throughout this competition, allowed a 42-43 comeback to Carlan, and then gave up consecutive points, putting her in a match point crisis at 42-44. Carlan, who received enthusiastic cheers from French fans, soon succeeded in scoring the last point and roared on the piste. The

 

The hope of completing the first ever gold medal in sabre for both the men's and women's teams along with the Korean men's team, which completed a three-peat at the Olympics, has been postponed to the next opportunity, but the Korean sabre team has continued its record of winning medals for both the men's and women's teams for two consecutive competitions. The

women's sabre team also defeated France, which had the overwhelming support of its home fans, in the semifinals, just like the men's team did in this competition. While the men's sabre team had maintained the world number one ranking for eight consecutive years since the 2016-2017 season and was the clear "top dog" as the "defending Olympic champion," the women's sabre team, ranked 4th in the world, was the "underdog" having to face the world number one France.

 

The Korean women’s sabre team had the highest world ranking in Jeon Ha-young, ranked 8th, followed by Choi Se-bin, ranked 10th, and Jeon Eun-hye, ranked 37th. However, the team defeated France, which was comprised of top-ranked players including Manon Apibrunet (2nd), Sarah Balzach (1st), Cecilia Werder (9th), and Sarah Noucha (14th), 45-36, who shared the individual gold and silver medals at this competition.

 

Jeon Eun-hye, who failed to qualify for the individual event, joined as a substitute for her oldest sister Yoon Ji-soo in the semifinals, and the entire team won medals, which was similar to the men’s sabre team. Do Kyung-dong, who was also a reserve player in the men’s sabre team, joined as a substitute for his oldest brother Gu Bon-gil in the finals and helped them win a medal.  카지노사이트

 

 

 

 

Korea is conceding a goal during the match between Korea and Denmark in Group A of the 2024 Paris Olympics women's handball group stage held at South Paris Arena 6 in Paris, France on the 3rd (local time). 

 

Women's handball, the only team sport in Korea to qualify for the Paris Olympics, was eliminated in the group stage.

 

Korea lost to Denmark 20-28 in the final match of Group A's fifth group stage on the 4th. Korea finished tied with Germany and Slovenia with one win and four losses, but Germany, which had the highest goal differential of +18 among the three teams, took fourth place, taking the remaining tournament spot after Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Korea finished fifth in Group A. This is only the second time since the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games that women's handball was eliminated in the Olympic group stage. Germany and Slovenia, which

 

were competing for fourth place in Group A before Korea's match, both lost, so Korea would have needed at least a draw with Denmark to advance to the quarterfinals. Denmark, which secured 3rd place in Group A regardless of the result of the match against Korea, also seemed to be preparing for the quarterfinals rather than the group stage, by removing 2 of the 5 main attackers who scored 10 or more goals in the last 4 matches from the starting lineup.

 

However, Korea failed to seize the opportunity due to its poor performance compared to the previous 4 matches. Korea’s shooting success rate in the first half of the match against Denmark was 35%, which was even lower than the shooting success rate in the match against Norway on the 30th of last month (43%), which was the lowest shooting success rate among the last 4 matches. Denmark goalkeeper Sandra Toft (35) blocked 10 shots from Korea in the first half alone. Her save rate was 56%. On the other hand, Park Sae-young (30), who guarded the Korean goal, had a save rate of only 14% (2 out of 14). Korea finished the first half without scoring 10 goals and trailing by 4 points (8-12).

 

Korea had a numerical advantage in the early part of the second half when Denmark sent off a player for two minutes, but failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Instead, Denmark used an "empty goal" tactic, replacing the goalkeeper with an additional field player during an attack, and widened the score gap with Korea to six points. With the sent-off player back in full form two minutes later, Denmark gradually increased the score.

 

In Group B, four teams, including France, the host country of the Olympics, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Brazil, advanced to the quarterfinals. Angola and Spain were eliminated. France, the champions of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and last year's World Championships, showed their potential as a strong championship contender by winning all five matches in the group stage of the Paris Olympics.

 

With the Korea-Denmark match, all group matches have ended, and the quarterfinal matchups have been completed: Norway (1st in Group A) - Brazil (4th in Group B), Denmark (3rd in Group A) - Netherlands (2nd in Group B), Hungary (3rd in Group B) - Sweden (2nd in Group A), and France (1st in Group B) - Germany (4th in Group A). ​​The quarterfinal tournament will be held on the 6th (local time).  카지노사이트

 

Korean Hermi Mi, more aggressive but loses after receiving 3 maps Japanese Nagayama Ryuju, shocked by 'one-game loss' after listening to referee's words.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The star of Korean women's judo, Heo Mimi, was disqualified due to a disappointing decision by the referee. Following the controversy over a misjudgment against a Japanese athlete two days ago, the controversy over the judo referees' decisions is being repeated at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

On the 29th (local time), Heo Mimi lost to Christa Deguchi (Canada) in an overtime match in the women's under-57kg final at the Paris Olympics held at the Arena Champs de Mars in Paris, earning her a silver medal.

 

Heo Mimi showed an aggressive attitude throughout the match. However, the referee's questionable decisions determined the color of her medal. Both players had two cards in overtime. The referee considered Heo Mimi's attack as a feint attack in overtime. In the end, she received three cards and suffered a foul loss.

 

When Heo Mi-mi tried to throw with her right shoulder and the attack didn’t go in, she tried to throw with her other shoulder again. Deguchi dodged the attack both times by moving to the opposite side.

 

The referee judged it to be a fake attack. In the end, Deguchi, who had not attacked properly and had only avoided it, was declared the winner. After the decision, both players were bewildered.

 

Judo officials and coaches also expressed regret over the questionable decision.

 

During the broadcast of the match, SBS commentator Cho Gu-ham said, “It doesn’t make sense that Heo Mi-mi, who had more attacks, was given guidance,” and “Deguchi should have received guidance as well. She was intentionally preventing him from grabbing the right collar. This was a foul.” Women’s national team coach Kim Mi-jung also explained, “She was not trying to fake an attack. Since her original technique is to sit down, it seems that the referee made that decision,” and “She didn’t sit down at the end and just stay still, but kept getting up and attacking.” His opponent, Deguchi, also implicitly hinted that the decision was problematic in his post-match interview, saying, “Judo has changed a lot in the past three years, and I think this is something that needs to change for the sake of judo.” The controversy over judo decisions also occurred in the men’s 60kg quarterfinals held on the 27th. Ryuju Nagayama (Japan) was enduring the choking of his opponent, Francisco Garrigos (Spain). The referee signaled for him to stop. Nagayama relaxed. However, Garrigos continued to choke. Nagayama lay down on the floor for a moment. After seeing this, the referee declared Garrigos a one-round win. Nagayama could not understand the decision. In protest of the decision, he refused to shake Garrigos’ hand and stood on the mat for three minutes after the match. Garrigos criticized Nagayama, saying, “Nagayama complained for several minutes after the match,” and “If someone falls during the match, a one-round match is declared. The rule has always been the same.” Nagayama later apologized to Garrigos. The Japanese media was furious about this misjudgment, calling it the “Devil’s Six Seconds.” Given the nature of judo, where referees are subjectively involved in the decisions, referees play an important role in the game. The more so, the referees must make accurate decisions. This is especially true on the Olympic stage. All the sweat and tears shed over the past four years can be lost due to one decision. The Japanese media outlet Higashi Sports reported, “In this Olympic judo, there have been a series of decisions that were unfavorable to Japanese athletes, and there has been a huge uproar in Korea as well.” Domestic netizens also expressed their regret, saying, “Judo, where referees are heavily subjective, should be eliminated from the Olympics,” and “Why are there so many strange situations in this judo? It started getting weird when they eliminated the leg-grabbing rule, including Heo Mi-mi.”  파워볼사이트

 

 

 

 

 

Nam Su-hyun (from left), Im Si-hyeon, and Jeon Hoon-young, who won gold medals in the women's team archery event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, holding a congratulatory message from President Yoon Seok-yeol. 

 

President Yoon Seok-yeol sent congratulatory messages on the 30th to 14 national athletes who won medals over the past three days at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

According to presidential spokesperson Chung Hye-jeon, President Yoon told Ban Hyo-jin, who won the gold medal in the women’s 10m air rifle, “We caught our breath together after the youngest athlete on the Korean team’s team’s final single-shot match, and the entire nation cheered for her victory by a margin of 0.1 points.” Spokesperson Chung reported that President Yoon highly praised Ban’s concentration and boldness in winning Korea’s 100th gold medal. In his congratulatory message

 

to the women’s national archery team’s Jeon Hun-young, Nam Su-hyun, and Im Si-hyun, who achieved the feat of “10 consecutive wins,” President Yoon said, “I will remember the glorious moment of the golden arrows of the Taegeuk archers together with all of our people, and I will continue to cheer on their continued success in the future.” He also congratulated the national archery team of Kim Woo-jin, Lee Woo-seok, and Kim Je-deok, who won the gold medal in the men's team archery event, on their three consecutive Olympic victories.

 

To Heo Mimi, who won a silver medal in the women’s 57 kg judo class, the president sent a message that “Her challenge, which started with her heart for her grandmother, and her pride in the Taegeuk mark are the pride of all Koreans.” Born in Tokyo, Japan, Heo renounced her Japanese citizenship last year in accordance with her grandmother’s will, who passed away in 2021, which said, “I hope you go to the Olympics wearing the Taegeuk mark.”

 

President Yoon cheered on Oh Ye-jin, who won a gold medal in the women’s 10m air pistol shooting event, saying, “I am even more proud because it was a great event in which you were the first for our country and even set a new Olympic record.” To Kim Ye-ji, who won a silver medal, he encouraged her, saying, “I saw your strong will and confidence in the way you moved from third place to second place at the end of the game.”

 

President Yoon also said to Kim Woo-min, who won a bronze medal in the men’s 400m freestyle, “A new chapter has begun for Korean swimming. I look forward to a golden age for our swimming led by Kim.” Kim brought a medal to Korean swimming for the first time in 12 years since the 2012 London Olympics. He is also the second Korean swimming medalist after Park Tae-hwan.

 

To Oh Sang-wook, who won the gold medal in the men’s sabre individual fencing event, President Yoon said, “I was inspired by his lightning-quick thrust and his powerful roar, and the entire nation was moved by his determination to win.” President Yoon also sent a congratulatory message to Geum Ji-hyun and Park Ha-jun, who won their first medals at the Olympics. To Geum, who won a silver medal in the mixed 10m air rifle shooting event, President Yoon said, “I pay tribute to Geum, who achieved great results while training and raising her child. He praised Park as “the best shooter and a wonderful mother,” and said to Park, “I hope you grow into the pillar of Korean shooting.” President Yoon’s congratulatory message was delivered to each athlete through a member of the Korean national team. Spokesperson Jeong reported that President Yoon said, “I always watch the athletes’ games when I wake up late at night or early in the morning. I’m proud of the athletes.”  파워볼사이트

 

'Disqualified' from last year's World Championships due to failure to pass gender eligibility test IOC: "Comply with all applicable medical regulations and eligibility requirements"

 

 

 

 

Female boxers Imane Khelif (26, Algeria) and Lin Yu-ting (28, Taiwan), who were disqualified from last year’s World Championships for failing to pass the gender eligibility test, will compete as normal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The

 

International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on the 30th (Korean time) that “all athletes participating in the boxing competitions at the 2024 Paris Olympics will comply with the competition eligibility and participation regulations, as well as all applicable medical regulations.”

 

As a result, Khelif will step onto the ring in the women’s 66kg boxing class on August 1 at the North Paris Arena in Paris, France, and Lin will step onto the ring in the women’s 57kg boxing class on August 2.

 

Lin Yuting has won two titles, including a gold medal at the 2022 World Championships, while Khelif also won a silver medal at the same competition. Notably, they both qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

 

The controversy over their gender arose at the World Championships held in New Delhi, India last year. Khelif was disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA), which hosted the competition, ahead of the final.

 

At the time, IBA president Umar Kremlev told Russian state news agency TASS, “The results of a DNA test showed that they have XY chromosomes (male chromosomes), so they were excluded from the competition.”

 

The IBA also told the Guardian, “The decision was made after a comprehensive review and is to maintain the fairness and integrity of the competition.” In fact, the official IOC information site, My Info, also noted that both fighters failed the gender eligibility test last year. The Associated Press pointed to the 'Russian-led IBA governance structure' as the reason for the different treatment of these athletes at the Olympics and World Championships. The IBA, which currently hosts the World Championships, receives financial support from Gazprom, a Russian state-owned gas company, and its president is also Russian Kremov. Russia is known as a country with low gender inclusiveness, to the point of promoting a law requiring children to be given names that match their gender. On the other hand, the IOC, which hosts the Olympics, emphasizes 'inclusiveness'. This is why there is a difference between the two events. However, the participation of boxers in the Olympics amid gender controversy remains a matter of controversy. Former boxing world champion Barry McGuigan posted on social media (SNS) X (formerly Twitter) that day, saying, "I'm shocked that they were actually allowed to come here," and "What the hell is going on right now?" 토토사이트

 

 

 

Interview with Heo Mi-mi posted on Waseda University website. 

 

Waseda University, the university’s alma mater, congratulated Heo Mimi (22, Gyeongsangbuk-do Sports Council), who won a silver medal as a member of the Korean women’s judo team at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

According to the Japanese media outlet Chunichi Sports on the 30th, Waseda University announced the news of Heo Mimi’s silver medal on its website and introduced it by saying, “Heo Mimi is the second Waseda University alumna to win a medal in Olympic judo, following Chiaki Ishii (Brazil, bronze medal) at the 1972 Munich Games.” Heo

 

Mimi won a silver medal in the women’s 57 kg class final at the competition held at the Champ de Mars Arena in Paris, France on the morning of that day, losing to Christa Deguchi (Canada).

 

Heo Mimi has become the first Korean female judo medalist in eight years since Jeong Bo-gyeong won a silver medal in the women’s 48kg class at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

 

Heo Mimi, currently a senior at Waseda University’s Department of Sports Science in Tokyo, Japan, is the head of the school’s women’s judo club.

 

Waseda University, which hoped for Heo Mimi’s success by posting an interview on its website ahead of the Olympics, stated, “Heo Mimi is the first student to win a medal in Olympic judo.”

 

Heo Mimi, who was born to a Korean father and a Japanese mother, renounced her Japanese citizenship and acquired Korean citizenship in accordance with her late grandmother’s will. She became a hot topic when it was revealed that she was a descendant of an independence activist. Heo Mimi usually goes to school and trains in Korea ahead of international competitions. Having made her presence known by showing great performances at international competitions, Heo Mimi brightened her prospects by winning a silver medal in her first Olympic appearance. After winning the silver medal, Hermimi said, “It wasn’t the gold medal I had set as my goal since I was young, but I’m happy to have won a medal at the Olympics wearing the Taegeuk mark. I want to encourage myself and say I did well.”  안전놀이터

 

 

 

 

Egyptian fencer Nada Hafez, who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics while seven months pregnant.

 

An Egyptian fencing athlete surprised the world by belatedly announcing that she was competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics while seven months pregnant.

 

The protagonist is Egypt's Nada Hafez (27). Hafez finished her Olympics on the 29th (local time) by losing to Jeon Ha-young (Seoul City Hall) of Korea in the round of 16 of the women's sabre fencing.

 

After the match, Hafez posted on her SNS a message titled 'Olympian who is seven months pregnant' and revealed her pregnancy by saying, "It looked like there were two athletes in the stadium, but there were actually three," and "Me, my competitor, and my little baby who is yet to be born."

 

“The baby and I have been through both physical and emotional challenges together,” Hafez said. “The pregnancy itself was a roller coaster ride, but balancing life and sports has been intense to say the least. But it’s been worth it.” She continued, “I’ve been able to get this far because of the faith my husband and family have in me,” adding, “This was my third Olympics, but this one was even more special because I got to bring a ‘little Olympian’ with me.”

 

Sabre is a fencing sport that allows attacks on all parts of the upper body, including the head and hands. Since the effective area is large and both stabbing and cutting are allowed, agility is most important. It is surprising that a 7-month pregnant woman with a heavy body advanced to the round of 16. The sword is blunt, and the fencing suit is woven more tightly than bulletproof vests using special fibers, so it does not hurt even if attacked with a sword. However, it is said that there is a sense of impact and pain when attacked.

 

There have been many cases of athletes competing in the Olympics while pregnant. Dutch athlete Ankie van Grunsven, who competed in the dressage event at the Athens Olympics in 2004 while five months pregnant, won a gold medal, and Malaysian air rifle athlete Noor Suryani Binti Mohamed Taibi, who competed in the 2012 London Olympics, was eight months pregnant. German archer Cornelia Pohl won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics while in the early stages of pregnancy, and competed in the 2004 Athens Olympics while seven months pregnant. 카지노사이트

14 Korean medalists in 3 days of Paris Olympics "The whole nation cheers for the 0.1 point victory cheering for a good performance" "Watch the games late at night and in the morning the players are great"

 

 

 

 

 

President Yoon Seok-yeol sent congratulatory messages to each of the 14 athletes who won medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics on the 30th.

 

The presidential office said that President Yoon sent individual congratulatory messages to the 14 South Korean athletes who won medals in the first three days of the Olympics, including the archery team. The congratulatory messages were delivered to each athlete through South Korean team officials.

 

President Yoon first told Ban Hyo-jin, the youngest ever member of the South Korean shooting team to win a gold medal in the women’s 10m air rifle event, “We caught our breath together after the youngest athlete on the South Korean team’s last single-shot match, and the entire nation cheered at her victory by a margin of 0.1 points.”

 

To the women’s archery team (Jeon Hun-young, Nam Su-hyun, Lim Si-hyeon), who achieved 10 consecutive victories from the 1988 Seoul Olympics to this competition, he sent the message, “We will remember together with the entire nation the glorious moment when the golden arrows of the Taegeuk archers were shot, and we will continue to cheer on your continued success.” He

 

also cheered on the men’s archery team (Kim Woo-jin, Lee Woo-seok, Kim Je-deok), who achieved three consecutive Olympic victories, saying, “You are the mainstay of Korean archery,” “Fighting with overflowing confidence and passion.”

 

To Heo Mimi, who won a silver medal in the women’s 57 kg judo class, he sent the message, “Heo’s challenge, which started with her heart for her grandmother, and her pride in the Taegeuk mark are the pride of the entire nation.”

 

President Yoon said to Oh Ye-jin, the gold medalist in the women’s 10m air pistol, “This is the first gold medal in the women’s 10m air pistol event for our country, and it is a great event that even set a new Olympic record.” To Kim Ye-ji, who won a silver medal, President Yoon said, “She is the only ‘mother shooter’ to compete in two events among shooters. I will cheer on the rest of Kim’s game with all of our people.” To Kim Woo-min, who won a bronze medal in the men’s 400m freestyle swimmer, President Yoon said, “A new chapter has opened for Korean swimming. I look forward to a golden age for our swimming led by Kim.” To fencing’s Oh Sang-wook, who won a gold medal in the men’s sabre individual event, President Yoon said, “I was inspired by his lightning-quick thrust and his exhilarating roar.” To Geum Ji-hyeon, who won a silver medal in the mixed 10m air rifle event, the first medal of this Olympics, President Yoon said, “She is the best shooter and a wonderful mother. I will cheer on the rest of Kim’s game with all of our people.” To Park Ha-jun, President Yoon said, “I hope that Park, who achieved great results in his first Olympics, will grow into a pillar of Korean shooting.” Spokesperson Jeong Hye-jeon reported that President Yoon said, “I always watch the athletes’ games when I wake up late at night or early in the morning,” and “The athletes are great.” The presidential office added, “The president meticulously sends congratulatory messages to the athletes every time they win a medal, and he puts his heart into sending messages to each and every athlete.” 파워볼사이트

On the 29th (local time), Ukraine's Olha Harlan, who won a medal by defeating Korea's Choi Se-bin (Jeonnam Provincial Office) in the bronze medal match of the women's sabre fencing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is crying while covering her face.

 

At the moment of victory, he covered his head and knelt down on the field. His hands, wiping away the tears that were pouring down, were painted with yellow and blue nail polish, symbolizing Ukraine.

 

With a more desperate heart than any other athlete who participated in the Olympics, he held his country close to his heart and won the precious bronze medal around his neck after a comeback. This is the first medal that Ukraine, which is going through a war due to the invasion of Russia, has won at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The athlete said with a mixture of joy and sadness,

 

“This is a message that Ukraine will never give up.”

 

Ukrainian fencing star Olha Harlan won a bronze medal in the women’s sabre fencing bronze medal match held at the Grand Palais in Paris, France on the 29th (local time), defeating Choi Se-bin (Jeonnam Provincial Office) of Korea. After being trailing by six points, she made a dramatic comeback by scoring consecutive goals in the final minutes. This is her fifth Olympic medal.

 

The New York Times reported that Harlan said in an interview after the match, “This medal is for my country and those who defended it, and for the Ukrainian athletes who lost their lives because of Russia and could not be here today.”

 

According to the Guardian, Harlan’s parents live in Mykolaiv, a coastal city in southern Ukraine that was devastated by Russian attacks. Harlan’s family reportedly had to live in the basement of their home for months to escape Russian airstrikes.

 

Harlan made headlines worldwide last July when she refused to shake hands with a Russian athlete at the World Fencing Championships and was disqualified. At the time, Harlan met Russian athlete Anna Smirnova in the round of 64 of the women's sabre and won 15-7. After the match, he stopped Smirnova with his sword as she approached to shake his hand. He then shook his head to indicate that he would not shake her hand. It was a sign of resistance to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. According to the rules of fencing, the match ends when the athletes shake hands after the winner is decided. Smirnova protested by not leaving the stadium for 50 minutes, saying that it was an unsportsmanlike act. Harlan was eventually disqualified after refusing to shake hands until the end. After the match, Harlan posted on his social media, "You can't force peace on anyone. In particular, neither peace nor handshakes can be forced upon Ukrainians (who were invaded by Russia),” he said in a video message, saying, “Glory to Ukraine.” When Harlan was in danger of not being able to compete in the Paris Olympics due to this disqualification, Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), sent a ‘special invitation’ so that he could compete in the Paris Olympics. 토토사이트

 

Korean Hermi Mi, more aggressive but loses after receiving 3 maps. Japanese Nagayama Ryuju, shocked by 'one-game loss' after listening to referee's words

 

 

 

 

The star of Korean women's judo, Heo Mimi, was disqualified due to a disappointing decision by the referee. Following the controversy over a misjudgment against a Japanese athlete two days ago, the controversy over the judo referees' decisions is being repeated at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

On the 29th (local time), Heo Mimi lost to Christa Deguchi (Canada) in an overtime match in the women's under-57kg final at the Paris Olympics held at the Arena Champs de Mars in Paris, earning her a silver medal.

 

Heo Mimi showed an aggressive attitude throughout the match. However, the referee's questionable decisions determined the color of her medal. Both players had two cards in overtime. The referee considered Heo Mimi's attack as a feint attack in overtime. In the end, she received three cards and suffered a foul loss.

 

When Heo Mi-mi tried to throw with her right shoulder and the attack didn’t go in, she tried to throw with her other shoulder again. Deguchi dodged the attack both times by moving to the opposite side.

 

The referee judged it to be a fake attack. In the end, Deguchi, who had not attacked properly and had only avoided it, was declared the winner. After the decision, both players were bewildered.

 

Judo officials and coaches also expressed regret over the questionable decision.

 

During the broadcast of the match, SBS commentator Cho Gu-ham said, “It doesn’t make sense that Heo Mi-mi, who had more attacks, was given guidance,” and “Deguchi should have received guidance as well. She was intentionally preventing him from grabbing the right collar. This was a foul.” Women’s national team coach Kim Mi-jung also explained, “She was not trying to fake an attack. Since her original technique is to sit down, it seems that the referee made that decision,” and “She didn’t sit down at the end and just stay still, but kept getting up and attacking.” His opponent, Deguchi, also implicitly hinted that the decision was problematic in his post-match interview, saying, “Judo has changed a lot in the past three years, and I think this is something that needs to change for the sake of judo.” The controversy over judo decisions also occurred in the men’s 60kg quarterfinals held on the 27th. Ryuju Nagayama (Japan) was enduring the choking of his opponent, Francisco Garrigos (Spain). The referee signaled for him to stop. Nagayama relaxed. However, Garrigos continued to choke. Nagayama lay down on the floor for a moment. After seeing this, the referee declared Garrigos a one-round win. Nagayama could not understand the decision. In protest of the decision, he refused to shake Garrigos’ hand and stood on the mat for three minutes after the match. Garrigos criticized Nagayama, saying, “Nagayama complained for several minutes after the match,” and “If someone falls during the match, a one-round match is declared. The rule has always been the same.” Nagayama later apologized to Garrigos. The Japanese media was furious about this misjudgment, calling it the “Devil’s Six Seconds.” Given the nature of judo, where referees are subjectively involved in the decisions, referees play an important role in the game. The more so, the referees must make accurate decisions. This is especially true on the Olympic stage. All the sweat and tears shed over the past four years can be lost due to one decision. The Japanese media outlet Higashi Sports reported, “In this Olympic judo, there have been a series of decisions that were unfavorable to Japanese athletes, and there has been a huge uproar in Korea as well.” Domestic netizens also expressed their regret, saying, “Judo, where referees are heavily subjective, should be eliminated from the Olympics,” and “Why are there so many strange situations in this judo? It started getting weird when they eliminated the leg-grabbing rule, including Heo Mi-mi.” 안전놀이터

 

 

Nam Su-hyun (from left), Im Si-hyeon, and Jeon Hoon-young, who won gold medals in the women's team archery event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, holding a congratulatory message from President Yoon Seok-yeol. 

 

President Yoon Seok-yeol sent congratulatory messages on the 30th to 14 national athletes who won medals over the past three days at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

 

According to presidential spokesperson Chung Hye-jeon, President Yoon told Ban Hyo-jin, who won the gold medal in the women’s 10m air rifle, “We caught our breath together after the youngest athlete on the Korean team’s team’s final single-shot match, and the entire nation cheered for her victory by a margin of 0.1 points.” Spokesperson Chung reported that President Yoon highly praised Ban’s concentration and boldness in winning Korea’s 100th gold medal. In his congratulatory message

 

to the women’s national archery team’s Jeon Hun-young, Nam Su-hyun, and Im Si-hyun, who achieved the feat of “10 consecutive wins,” President Yoon said, “I will remember the glorious moment of the golden arrows of the Taegeuk archers together with all of our people, and I will continue to cheer on their continued success in the future.” He also congratulated the national archery team of Kim Woo-jin, Lee Woo-seok, and Kim Je-deok, who won the gold medal in the men's team archery event, on their three consecutive Olympic victories.

 

To Heo Mimi, who won a silver medal in the women’s 57 kg judo class, the president sent a message that “Her challenge, which started with her heart for her grandmother, and her pride in the Taegeuk mark are the pride of all Koreans.” Born in Tokyo, Japan, Heo renounced her Japanese citizenship last year in accordance with her grandmother’s will, who passed away in 2021, which said, “I hope you go to the Olympics wearing the Taegeuk mark.”

 

President Yoon cheered on Oh Ye-jin, who won a gold medal in the women’s 10m air pistol shooting event, saying, “I am even more proud because it was a great event in which you were the first for our country and even set a new Olympic record.” To Kim Ye-ji, who won a silver medal, he encouraged her, saying, “I saw your strong will and confidence in the way you moved from third place to second place at the end of the game.”

 

President Yoon also said to Kim Woo-min, who won a bronze medal in the men’s 400m freestyle, “A new chapter has begun for Korean swimming. I look forward to a golden age for our swimming led by Kim.” Kim brought a medal to Korean swimming for the first time in 12 years since the 2012 London Olympics. He is also the second Korean swimming medalist after Park Tae-hwan.

 

To Oh Sang-wook, who won the gold medal in the men’s sabre individual fencing event, President Yoon said, “I was inspired by his lightning-quick thrust and his powerful roar, and the entire nation was moved by his determination to win.” President Yoon also sent a congratulatory message to Geum Ji-hyun and Park Ha-jun, who won their first medals at the Olympics. To Geum, who won a silver medal in the mixed 10m air rifle shooting event, President Yoon said, “I pay tribute to Geum, who achieved great results while training and raising her child. He praised Park as “the best shooter and a wonderful mother,” and said to Park, “I hope you grow into the pillar of Korean shooting.” President Yoon’s congratulatory message was delivered to each athlete through a member of the Korean national team. Spokesperson Jeong reported that President Yoon said, “I always watch the athletes’ games when I wake up late at night or early in the morning. I’m proud of the athletes.”  카지노사이트

 

 

 

Celine Dion sings 'Hymn of Love' on the Eiffel Tower right after the torch is lit at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

 

After French President Emmanuel Macron's opening declaration, French soccer hero Zinedine Zidane appeared again on the stage in front of the rainy Trocadero Square. The audience greeted Zidane with cheers. Zidane stood on the stage shaped like the Eiffel Tower at Trocadero amid magnificent music and walked powerfully holding the torch.

 

Anyone who saw it felt like it was the 'climax' of the opening ceremony.

 

But then suddenly the audience was in an uproar at the appearance of an unexpected person.

 

It was because of the appearance of the 'Clay God' Rafael Nadal (Spain), who won the French Open 14 times. This is Nadal's last Olympics. Since this Olympics was held in Paris, he will be holding his last Olympics at 'Roland Garros', where he has won the most among major tennis tournaments.

 

It did not end there. Nadal boarded a boat again holding the torch and sailed down the Seine River. On board the boat were tennis legend Serena Williams, track and field legend Carl Lewis (both from the US), and gymnastics legend Nadia Comaneci (Romania). The

 

torch relay by French legends continued, and the torch passed by Charles Coste, a 1948 Olympic cycling gold medalist who is 100 years old this year, was passed on by French judo legend Teddy Riner and track and field legend Marie-Josée Perec, who then went up into the sky in a hot air balloon, a French invention.

 

The real finale was adorned by Celine Dion, who had been rumored to perform at the opening ceremony for a long time. Dion sang “Hymn to Love” on top of the Eiffel Tower, which was draped with the Olympic rings. This was Dion’s first public appearance since being diagnosed with stiff-man syndrome in 2022. Dion is a French-speaking singer from Quebec, Canada, who sang the Titanic OST. 파워볼사이트

Yeo Gap-soon and Kang Cho-hyun, the 'high school marksman', compete in the 10m air rifle mixed event today. Innate genius and special 'mental' strength

 

 

 

 

Ban Hyo-jin (17), the youngest Korean athlete competing in the Paris Olympics, will team up with Choi Dae-hee in the mixed 10m air rifle event on the 27th to challenge for the first medal for the Korean team. The photo shows Ban Hyo-jin practicing at the Chateauroux Shooting Center in France.

 

There is a lineage of female high school rifle marksmen in Korean women's shooting. Yeo Gap-soon won a gold medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics when she was a senior in high school. Kang Cho-hyun also won a silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics when she was a senior in high school.

 

Ban Hyo-jin, the youngest of the 143 Korean athletes competing in the Paris Olympics, is considered the successor to Yeo Gap-soon and Kang Cho-hyun. Ban Hyo-jin, 17, is a sophomore at Daegu Sports High School. Ban

 

Hyo-jin is a candidate to bring the first medal to the Korean team at the Paris Olympics. Ban Hyo-jin will compete in the 10m air rifle mixed event at the Chateauroux Shooting Center in France at 4 p.m. on the 27th, paired with her older brother Choi Dae-han, who is three years older. The bronze medal match will be held at 5:30 p.m. on the same day, followed by the gold medal match.

 

Ban Hyo-jin earned the Taegeuk mark three years after she started shooting. In 2021, when she was in her second year of middle school, she first picked up a gun following a friend from the same school's shooting club. Before that, she had never shot a gun even in an amusement park or arcade. Then, a little over a month later, she won first place in the Daegu Mayor's Cup. Ban Hyo-jin is said to have a natural talent for shooting and a very strong mentality as a player whose daily life is competitive. It is said that his innocent personality is a great help in the game, as it is important to empty one's mind in the shooting sport. A

 

representative example is the Paris Olympics national team selection. At a moment when even one misstep could lead to elimination, Ban Hyo-jin said, "I want to finish quickly and eat raw beef bibimbap." In the final national team selection, Ban Hyo-jin beat her seniors with a high score of 632.2 points and took first place. Regarding the life at the Jincheon Athletes' Village, which many athletes find difficult, she said, "The food at the restaurant was so delicious. I really like the Athletes' Village because there is so much to eat."

 

Due to this natural talent and personality, there are expectations that Ban Hyo-jin may cause a 'big accident' at this Olympics. Ban Hyo-jin came in second in the 10m air rifle event at the International Shooting Federation (ISSF) World Cup in June. She was 0.1 points behind first place. Ban Hyo-jin will also compete in the mixed event and the 10m air rifle event at the Paris Olympics. She said, "When I compete, I am humble, but I also think, 'Other athletes are no different.' I really want to grab my first Olympic medal opportunity." The

 

Korean shooting team will compete in the mixed event with the Ban Hyo-jin-Choi Dae-han pair, as well as the Park Ha-jun-Geum Ji-hyun pair, aiming for a medal. Initially, it seemed that Ban Hyo-jin and Park Ha-jun, who each took first place in the men's and women's national team trials, would pair up. However, after arriving in Paris and going through local adaptation training, the coaching staff decided that it would be better to change the team composition. 파워볼사이트

This year's best record is 3 minutes 42.42 seconds. World's 4th place Hangzhou AG-Doha World Championships winner "Since I started swimming, my dream has been Olympic gold"

 

 

 

 

Swimming star Kim Woo-min will challenge for Korea's first medal in the men's 400m freestyle at the Paris Olympics. The preliminaries and finals for the men's 400m freestyle will be held on the 27th and 28th, respectively. The photo shows Kim Woo-min making a heart shape with both arms after winning the 400m freestyle at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. 

 

“The first thing I saw when I came to the Olympic swimming pool was the podium for the medalists.”

 

Kim Woo-min (23), a middle- and long-distance star of Korean swimming who is experiencing a renaissance, said this after finishing training at the La Defense Arena in Paris, where the swimming events of the Paris Olympics will be held from the 27th. The podium was set up in this swimming pool before the opening of the Olympics. Several athletes climbed up on the podium to take commemorative photos, but Kim Woo-min held back. He then said, “I want to go up on the podium with a medal around my neck.”

 

The preliminaries for Kim Woo-min’s main event, the men’s 400m freestyle, will be held at 6:45 p.m. (Korean time) on the 27th, and the finals will be held at 3:42 a.m. on the 28th. Kim Woo-min won this event at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year and the Doha World Aquatics Championships this year. Since the finals for the 400m freestyle are the first of the events to be held at this competition, if Kim Woo-min stands on the podium, it will be the first medal for Korean swimming in a competition. Kim Woo-min said, “If I get off to a good start, other athletes will also gain confidence.” Korean swimming aims to win three medals, the most ever in a single Olympics, at this competition.

 

If Kim Woo-min wins a medal, he will be the first South Korean swimming Olympic medalist since Park Tae-hwan in the 2012 London Games. South Korean swimming has won a total of four medals at the Olympics, all of which were won by Park. Park won gold and silver in the 400m freestyle at the 2008 Beijing Games and silver in the same event at the 2012 London Games.

 

Kim Woo-min will compete only as a member of the men's 800m freestyle relay at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. However, he has grown rapidly over the past three years to become a world-class athlete. Kim Woo-min's best time in the 400m freestyle this year is 3 minutes 42.42 seconds, ranking him 4th in the world (based on his personal best). Lucas Mertens (Germany, 3:40.33) came in first, Elijah Winington (3:41.41) came in second, and Samuel Short (3:41.64, both from Australia) came in third. Swimming media outlet SwimSwam predicted that Kim Woo-min would win the bronze medal. However, Kim Woo-min confidently said, “I want to stand at the highest place. Ever since I first started swimming, my dream has been an Olympic gold medal.”

 

Kim Woo-min will compete in a maximum of five events (200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m freestyle, 800m freestyle relay). He will challenge for the first ever medal in an Olympic swimming team event in the 800m freestyle relay, which he leads with Hwang Sun-woo (21). In the 800m relay, four swimmers swim 200m in turn. The 800m relay team gained confidence after winning a silver medal at the Doha World Aquatics Championships. Kim Woo-min said, “I want to achieve my dream of a medal in the relay because my team members are in good condition.”  토토사이트

3 places on the West-North-East routes 1 place cancelled/delayed 800,000 passengers affected France tracks down “organized sabotage” behind the scenes Airport line ‘bomb alert’ evacuation situation unfolds

 

 

 

 

 

 

French police patrol the Gare de l'Est in Paris on the 26th (local time), the day of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Between the previous night and the early morning of the same day, fires believed to be arson broke out on three high-speed rail lines in France, disrupting train service and affecting approximately 800,000 people.

 

On the 26th (local time), the day of the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics, a fire, presumed to be arson, broke out on three high-speed railway lines connecting Paris, the capital of France, and the north, west, and east. The French government is investigating the perpetrators, denouncing it as an “organized act of sabotage.” In addition, a bomb alert was issued at an airport in southeastern France that day, causing people to evacuate. Despite

 

heightened security ahead of the opening ceremony, there are growing concerns that “terrorist attacks targeting the Olympics” could occur as incidents that could simultaneously destroy public infrastructure and cause casualties have occurred in multiple regions.

 

According to the French daily Le Monde, the French National Railway Company (SNCF) announced on the same day that “from the night of the 25th to the early morning of the 26th, a large-scale suspected arson attack paralyzed the long-distance railway network, causing delays or cancellations in railway operations.” SNCF stated that “the ‘malicious acts’ occurred on the western, northern, and eastern high-speed railway lines, while the southeastern line was an attempt.”

 

This caused disruption to the normal operation of domestic French railways as well as international train lines such as Eurostar connecting to the UK. SNCF said, “We advise travelers to postpone their schedules and not go to train stations.” Jean-Pierre Parandoux, CEO of SNCF, said, “About 800,000 passengers were affected,” and “The fire broke out in a strategic location (where it could affect operations),” suggesting that it may have been a planned crime.

 

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal immediately activated the crisis response headquarters and said, “This act of destruction clearly has the purpose of shutting down the high-speed rail network.” The Paris prosecutor’s office also announced, “We are investigating in accordance with the ‘national jurisdiction to combat organized crime.’”

 

Meanwhile, at around 11 a.m. that day, a bomb alarm was issued at EuroAirport on the border between Switzerland and Germany in southeastern France, and everyone in the terminal was evacuated, AFP reported. The airport was immediately closed and flights were temporarily suspended, but later resumed.

 

There are observations that the fear of terrorism, which was feared to occur during the Paris Olympics and Paralympics (26th to 8th September), will increase even more. Some are pointing out that the security force is concentrated in Paris, where the Olympics are being held, and that security in other regions has become relatively lax. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), told AFP, “I have full trust in the French authorities (regarding Olympic security).” 안전놀이터

They were in their teens when they had to return from Tokyo three years ago with their heads down. Passion and passion alone were not enough to achieve their dreams. Now in their 20s, they have grown into the aces of the Korean national team in each event at the Paris Olympics. They have also completed all preparations to turn Tokyo’s tears into Paris’ cheers. Now, all that is left is time to fly high as a world-class player.

The world number one badminton women's singles 'shuttlecock genius' Ahn Se-young (22) has only one goal for this tournament: a gold medal. After losing to Chen Yufei (26, China) in the quarterfinals of the Tokyo Games three years ago, Ahn wiped away tears and said, "I think I'm still lacking." Chen Yufei, who eventually won the gold medal in the Tokyo Games, was an opponent that Ahn Se-young had never beaten in five matches up until then.

 

However, in the 15 matches they had faced since then, Ahn Se-young won eight of them, seven of them. In particular, she won the final match at the Asian Games held in Hangzhou, Chen's hometown, despite suffering a right knee injury. Ahn Se-young said, "I think I have about a 70% advantage over Chen Yufei," and vowed, "I will show the ceremony with a smile and not a cry in Paris."

 

The 'signboard' of Korean swimming, Hwang Sun-woo (21), is challenging for Korea's first Olympic gold medal in the men's 200m freestyle. Hwang Sun-woo set a new Korean record (1 minute 44.62 seconds) in the preliminaries of this event at the Tokyo Games three years ago. He also made the halfway point at the world record pace in the finals, but his final score was 1 minute 45.53 seconds, placing him 7th. The reason for his failure was his inexperience and inability to control his pace.

 

Now, he has transformed into an athlete with great 'stamina', as evidenced by his comeback victory with 10 meters left in the finals of this year's World Aquatics Championships. He also won six medals (2 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze) including the gold medal in this event at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. Hwang Sun-woo, who is currently checking his condition at the La Defense Arena, the stage for this Olympics, expressed his confidence by saying, "I'm excited when I see the swimming pool. I want to compete quickly."

 

'Ppyak-ee' Shin Yu-bin (20, table tennis) is also determined to become a 'chicken' in Paris. Shin Yu-bin, who was eliminated in the round of 32 in the women's singles and the quarterfinals in the team event at the Tokyo Games, has the important task of participating in the individual singles, mixed doubles, and team events as the only Korean table tennis player participating in this competition.

 

Among them, she is considered to have the best chance of winning a medal in the mixed doubles with Lim Jong-hoon (27). If she advances to the semifinals, she will likely face the world's strongest Chinese team, but Shin Yu-bin is not worried. Shin Yu-bin said, "I don't know what the results will be at the Olympics. I just have to do my best in my game no matter who I face."

 

'Spider Man' Seo Chae-hyun (21, sports climbing) is also challenging the medal dream that she couldn't achieve in Tokyo. There are three sub-events in sports climbing: lead, bouldering, and speed. Seo Chae-hyun made a mistake in her main event, lead, during the Tokyo Olympics finals, and her ranking fell from 3rd to 8th. This

 

time, Seo Chae-hyun's weakest event, speed, was excluded as a separate event, so she is better positioned to win a medal. Seo Chae-hyun said, "In Tokyo, there were no spectators, so the atmosphere itself was subdued, and I felt a lot of pressure. In Paris, I think it will be more comfortable because I can compete in a fun atmosphere."

 

'God's Daughter' Yeo Seo-jeong (22, gymnastics) started her diary in the second grade of elementary school with the words, 'My dad didn't win an Olympic gold medal.' Yeo Seo-jeong, the daughter of 'God of the Vault' Yeo Hong-cheol (53), a professor at Kyunghee University and silver medalist at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, is challenging for another Olympic gold medal in Paris. Yeo Seo-jeong returned with a bronze medal in the women's vault event at the Tokyo Games.

 

This time, she can aim for several medals. This is because the women's gymnastics team has qualified for the Olympic team event for the first time in 36 years. Yeo Seo-jeong, the eldest member of the team and the captain, said, "I feel more pressure than in Tokyo, but I will enjoy the competition with my teammates." 카지노사이트

 

 

As the 2024 Paris Olympics approach, security issues continue to arise.

 

Inside the Games, a media outlet that reports Olympic-related news, reported on the 25th (Korean time) that “the Australian Olympic TV production crew was attacked by unidentified people.”

 

Two reporters from the Australian broadcaster Channel 9 were attacked by unidentified people while reporting. The unidentified people reportedly tried to steal the reporters’ backpacks.

 

This news comes a day after the news of an Australian woman who was sexually assaulted by five men. The Argentine Olympic soccer team also suffered a theft incident in their locker room during training.

 

Security issues in Paris have been raised continuously in the past.

 

Security issues were revealed two years ago during the 2022 Champions League match, which was a rehearsal for the Olympics. At the time, the venue was the Stade de France, the main stadium for the Paris Olympics.

 

At the time, numerous incidents occurred, including sexual assault, robbery, and illegal viewing, and spectators complained that “security was a mess.” Security issues for Olympic tourists are very important at the Olympics. It is an important criterion when selecting the Olympic host city. France has prepared special measures to prevent crime. It has 35,000 security personnel, including 18,000 of its own troops. In addition, 2,000 foreign police officers from 40 countries around the world are helping with security.  파워볼사이트
