…is the new goal of ‘3-time AG and 3-time Olympic champion’ Im Jae-hyun

“I want to stay at the top like Woojin.”

That’s the next goal for “Super Ace” Lim Im-hyun (Korea Gymnastics Team). She defeated Nam Soo-hyun 7-3 (29-29 29-26 30-27 30-29 28-26) in the women’s individual archery final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on Wednesday (Feb. 3). Lim also won gold in the individual event. With her individual, mixed, and team gold medals, the South Korean became a three-time Olympic champion. She won three medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. It was the first time in 37 years that an archer had won three archery titles at an Asian Games. It was the first time in 37 years that an archer had won three gold medals at an Asian Games. It’s the era of the Korean archer.

Earlier in the day, Lim opened her individual campaign with a 6-0 (26-23 28-18 29-24) victory over Puerto Rico’s Alondra Rivera in the round of 64. She followed that up with a 6-0 (28-27 27-26 29-27) victory over Indonesia’s Reza Octavia in the Round of 32. The momentum continued in the Round of 16. She won 7-1 (28-28, 27-26, 27-21, 28-26) against Megan Havers of Great Britain. In the quarterfinals, it was back-and-forth drama. She defeated Alejandro Valencia (MEX) 6-4 (30-30 27-27 27-28 29-28 29-26). Nam defeated Zana Ali of Assyria 5-1 (30-23 29-25 28-28 29-28) in the Round of 64, and then defeated Marie Horakova of the Czech Republic 7-3 (28-28 27-24 28-28 29-29 29-24) in the Round of 32. She won her Round of 16 match against Amaistroaie Madarina (ROM) 6-2 (28-24, 27-29, 28-27, 29-28). In the quarterfinals, she came from behind to defeat India’s Deepika Kumari 6-4 (26-28 28-25 28-29 29-27 29-27) to reach the last four.

With the gold and silver medals already secured, it was a win-win final for Korean archery. It was tense from the first set. The two archers shot the same score as if they had made a pact. 10-9-10 points. The score was 29-29. In the second set, Lim took the lead. Im scored a consistent 29 points, but Nam Soo-hyun’s seven points kept her at 26 points.

In the third set, Im shot a perfect 30 points. They were all 10-10-10. She dominated Nam Soo-hyun, who shot 27 points. But Nam Soo-hyun wasn’t done. In the fourth set, she shot 10-10-10 to overwhelm Nam Soo-hyun’s 29 points. In the fifth set, the match was decided. She won 28-26 to take the gold medal.

Lee made it a triple win. He shared gold with Jeon Hoon-young and Nam Soo-hyun in the women’s team event on Sept. 29. South Korea’s women’s archery team has won 10 consecutive titles since the 1988 Seoul Games.

After winning the team gold medal, which was her primary goal, she went on to win gold in the mixed event. Im was joined in the mixed event by Kim Woo-jin, who also topped the men’s ranking round. Korean archery has traditionally given the top male and female performers in the ranking rounds of major international competitions a spot in the mixed event. The two are undoubtedly the best archers in the world. And they’re already in sync. Im and 파워볼게임 Kim competed as a pair at the first and second World Cups this year. They won the first World Cup together.

They also dominated the mixed event and won gold. They also won the remaining individual events.

“I had already won two titles in the mixed and team events, and I think I was focused on the result before, but for the individual event, I wanted to focus on the process. I wanted to have a little more fun, and I’m so grateful and honored that the result was so good,” he laughed. He said that the moment he clinched the title, he thought, “Oh, this is it, I’m enjoying it, it’s real.”

He faced Jeon Hoon-hyun in the quarterfinals and Nam Soo-hyun in the final. “I think I was able to focus on the process because I was able to meet both Korean players,” he said. “Even when I met Soo-hyun in the final, I thought, ‘We’re both medalists anyway, so let’s have fun,’ so we went in with our fists in the air.”

“I think I was lucky,” he said, “because I worked hard, and I showed what I was prepared for. I worked hard, so I believed in what I had prepared,” he said, adding, “I think I shot even harder because I thought it would be a shame if it was over after working so hard.”

After the Asian Games, Lim won three gold medals at the Olympics. The ceremony had a similar meaning. “Someone asked me if I thought it was easy to win three Olympic titles after winning three Asian Games titles, so I made a pose that meant I had passed through the eye of a needle,” she said. “After the Asian Games, I saw the veteran sisters in the Olympics, and they were ace. I felt the weight, and I think that’s why I tried to focus on the process rather than the result.”

“I want to sleep,” said Im, “but for now, I’ll enjoy the moment more without thinking about four years from now.” He revealed a new goal. “It may take a little longer, but I want to become a player like Woo Jin, and I think Woo Jin’s strength is his consistency, but I wonder how many players can be so consistent in that position. I will learn a lot from watching him from the sidelines,” he said.

“Korean players have the best mental + physical strength”

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Anzhi Postecoglou has praised his South Korean players.

Tottenham Hotspur lost the second game of their Coupang Play series against Bayern Munich 1-2 on Wednesday at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

After a 4-3 win in the first leg of the Coupang Play series against Team K League, the Bavarians struggled against the German Bundesliga champions. They conceded the first goal in the fourth minute of the first leg through Gabriel Vidovic, and Leon Goretzka added a second goal in the 11th minute. Pedro Foro pulled a goal back in the 20th minute of the second half, but they were unable to find an equalizer.

While Munich center back Kim Min-jae played around 55 minutes, Son Heung-min also started and played the full 75 minutes, but was unable to add any offensive points. Despite the loss, Postecoglou was pleased with the positives from the Asian tour and friendlies.

Postecoglou wasn’t too concerned with the loss or the performance, saying that his players weren’t 100 percent because of the intense fitness training they had been doing over the past 10 days.

In his post-match press conference, Postecoglou said, “I think it’s a bit harsh to judge the players overall today. I don’t think it’s fair to judge the players’ skills or performance in a cold way, given the intensity of the training and the match,” he said, “but I think they gave everything they had and tried to show everything they had in their current condition.”

However, when asked about his impressions from the three friendlies in Japan and Korea, he said, “We have solidified our foundation in terms of physical fitness. There were a lot of good things about the tour and the games, but there were also a lot of things that we need to improve,” he said. “It will be important for us to go back and see how much we can fill in the gaps in our training from this situation where we have a solid foundation.”

Postecoglou also talked about his image of Korean players. He coached Yoon Il-Rok during his tenure at Yokohama F Marinos in Japan’s J-League and recruited Oh Hyun-Gyu from Scottish giants Celtic. He has since worked with Son Heung-min at Tottenham, and this summer signed winger Yang Min-hyuk, born in 2006, from Gangwon FC.

“I think the Korean players in particular have always been very well prepared, mentally and physically,” Postecoglou said of the Korean players, “I think they’ve always been very well prepared mentally, physically, technically, and in terms of what it takes to play soccer.”

“I think the new generation of young players that will come up in the future will be able to go to Europe more and more in the future,” he said. “They are becoming more and more mature mentally, physically, and technically like their seniors, so I think we will soon see more and more players playing in Europe, and I hope that will happen,” he said, adding that he is optimistic about the future of Korean soccer.

Here’s what Postecoglou had to say.

–How did you feel about today’s match?

It was a very difficult game. We’ve been in Korea for ten days and trained intensely, and I think it showed in our training and in our physical condition. In the first half, we struggled to manage the game because the players were struggling physically, but the training process we’ve been doing for ten days will help us in our preparation for the season. We didn’t look sharp because of the heavy physical condition of the players, but it’s a building process, and I think we’ll see it after the start of the season.

–I think there were a lot of positives today, but when it comes to evaluating young players like Alfie Divine and Lucas Verbal.

I think it’s a bit harsh to evaluate the players in general today. I don’t think it’s fair to judge the players’ skills or performance in a cold way when they’re training and playing at such an intense level. But I think the players gave everything they had and tried to give everything they had in their current form, and I think that’s a very positive thing, especially against a strong team.

I think we played better in the second half. I think both teams were tired in the second half and we brought in new players and brought more energy on the pitch, which is a positive. I think Divine and Verbal are young players and I think they tried to show a little bit of their quality, so I give them a lot of credit.

–Now you’re back in England and you’ve been experimenting with players in different positions on tour, how have they been received?

I think every player needs to play in a different position from time to time. Obviously it’s a challenge for the players, but as a team we needed to see how they 토토사이트 추천 could perform in positions other than their main position, and I think it’s a positive thing that we were able to do that.

I think we need to analyze players like Oliver Skip and Jamie Donley because they’ve been playing in positions other than theirs. We need to think a little bit more before the season about how to play them and how to build the team.

–The three matches in Asia are over. What were your overall impressions from those three matches and are there any areas that you felt like you need to work on now that the season is about to start?

I think it was very important how much we trained in these ten days and how we built the team. We improved a lot in those 10 days, especially physically. And the training process in East Asia, the training and the games that we played, I think the players will definitely take away a lot from that, especially in terms of the physicality, so it’s a solid foundation. And there were a lot of good things that we did on this tour and in the games, but there were also a lot of things that we definitely need to work on.

I think it will be important for us to go back and see how much we can fill in the gaps in our training, because we have a strong base and a strong foundation. More importantly, we had two or three players who didn’t make the tour and how quickly they fit into the team when they do. We’ve got about two weeks to go before the season starts, and it’s important that we make up for it physically and that we start the season in good shape.

-With key defenders like Christian Romero and Micky Vander Penn missing, the defense has been shaky, conceding eight goals in the last five games. Do you have any plans to improve this?

Preseason is all about preparing for the season. Destiny Udogie didn’t come, and in fact, three of our main defenders didn’t make the trip. But we knew that when we were preparing for the preseason, and the most important thing is the preparation and how well you prepare. I think it’s also very important how complete we are when we get closer to the season.

The most important thing is that there are no points in friendlies. We had a very good ten days of training and the players did a good job, so I think we can take these things positively and prepare for the season.

-What are your impressions of Korea? You’ve coached four South Korean players, Yoon Il-Rok, Oh Hyun-Kyu, Son Heung-Min, and now Yang Min-Hyuk, who is set to join Tottenham, so what do you think are the characteristics of Korean players?

I was very fortunate to be able to live in East Asia. I’m very grateful for that, and I think I have a good relationship with the players because I understand the culture a little bit better because I lived in East Asia. Among the East Asian athletes, Korean athletes in particular always seemed to be more mentally and physically prepared. I felt like I went to Europe very well prepared mentally, physically, technically, and in terms of what it takes to play soccer.

Even now, there are Korean players playing in the Premier League, Bundesliga, and other high level leagues in Europe. I think the current players have paved the way a lot, so I think the new generation of young players coming up will be able to go to Europe more in the future. I don’t think they are unprepared by any means. They are becoming more and more mature mentally, physically, and technically, just like their elders, so I think we will soon see more of them playing in Europe, and I hope it happens.

“I played like I wanted to be like Na Sung-ho last year, and it worked out.”

Dankook University defeated Hanyang University 75-63 on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the men’s collegiate Group A preliminary round of the 79th National Men’s and Women’s National Basketball Championship at the Glory Sports Center.

Dankook, which had suffered a 15-point loss to Myeongji University, needed to beat Hanyang University by at least 10 points to advance to the quarterfinals. However, it finished the first quarter with a 14-24 record. They were in danger of being eliminated.

Dankook University turned the tide in the second quarter. They went on a 26-7 run. Dankook kept the game within 10 points in the third quarter before pulling away for a 12-point victory.

At the center of the victory was Song Jae-hwan (187 cm, G). Song finished with 23 points (6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals), including 4 three-pointers, including 12 points in the second quarter alone to start the comeback.

After the game, Song said, “It’s a great win for the team because everyone played hard together. It feels good to have a victory after a long time,” Song said after the game.

Dankook University lost 69-81 to Hanyang University in the preliminary round of the MBC Bae National University Basketball Tournament last month. On this day, they revenged with a 12-point victory.

“My biggest thought was that we should never lose,” said Song Jae-hwan, “We needed to win by at least 10 points to pass the qualifiers, but the game went back and forth around 10 points at the end. I told my teammates to stay focused and defend until the end, and it worked out well.”

With a 10-point deficit at the end of the first quarter, it was thought that even a comeback win would not be enough to advance to the quarterfinals. However, the team’s solid defense forced Hanyang University to make a series of mistakes and won the game by the required margin to advance to the quarterfinals.

“In the first quarter, when we weren’t playing well and the opponent was shooting free throws, I gathered the players and told them that we shouldn’t play like this, that we can play like this if we defend and rebound, and that we should play hard on defense as if we were starting over,” Song recalled.

Despite the loss, Song had a team-high 18 points (9 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals, 2 blocks) against Myeongji University.

When asked about his ace performance in the tournament, Song said, “I told the team during winter training that I wanted to play ace. I didn’t have many 메이저사이트 good games in the college league because I was too greedy to play the ace,” he said. “I tried to go back to my roots and contribute to the team with defense. I wanted to be like Na Sung-ho last year, and it worked out well,” he said.

Hanyang University and Dankook University, both 1-1, will meet once more in the KU Basketball League when it resumes in the second semester. It’s no exaggeration to say that the game is a playoff game.

“Last year, we met in the group stage and played Hanyang in the playoffs, so it was a tough match,” said Song Jae-hwan. “If the injured players come back and work hard, there will be good results. Even if we meet them in the college league, we will play hard together.”

To beat Hanyang again, the team will have to continue what they did well on the day.

Song Jae-hwan added, “Kim Tae-young, Hwang Ji-min, and everyone else did a great job defending and doing dirty things, getting attacker fouls on the opponent, and putting the ball in the net when they gave it to us. Defense was important, and we did a good job.”

With the score 73-63 with 1:39 left in the game, Song Jae-hwan drew an unsportsmanlike foul (U-foul) on Kang Ji-hoon and went to the free throw line, but missed both. It would have been a disappointing scene if they had won by less than nine points. Luckily, Song In-joon scored from the line to save the day.

“I was scared because if we didn’t qualify, it was because of the free throws. I trusted the team. I trusted them to score, and they did, so we passed the qualifiers.” “Song In-joon must be lonely and hard as the oldest brother in the fourth grade. Thank you for getting along well with the juniors who don’t listen to me, and thank you for your hard work in today’s (3rd) match.”

Dankook University will play the semifinals against Dongguk University at 2:10 p.m. on April 4.

“Dongguk University has a very good height,” said Song. We have to play with the mindset of going one step further to not lose in defense, boxing out, and rebounding, and if Dongguk University makes good shots, we will have a tough game, so we have to think about that and play hard.”

Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer dutifully participated in interviews that were officially sanctioned by the Bayern Munich club.

But Kim Min-jae did not. By leaving the Mix Zone without giving any reason for his absence, he deceived his teammates, the team, the press, the event organizers, and the fans who were waiting to hear what he had to say.

Munich won the second leg of their Coupang Play series against Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Munich opened the scoring in the third minute when Serge Gnabry’s shot was saved by Guglielmo Vicario, but Babriel Vidovic slotted the ball between the goalkeeper’s legs with a low right-footed effort.

Leon Goretzka made it 2-0 in the 11th minute of the second half when he slotted the ball home with his right foot after the keeper was beaten. Tottenham’s Pedro Foro scored a right-footed mid-range wonder in the 21st minute of the second half, but that was it.

After the match, a mixed-zone interview was held with the players and the media. According to the rules of Coupang Play, three official interviews were scheduled to be conducted, and the Munich club’s request for official interviews with Kim Min-jae, Manuel Neuer, and Thomas Muller was denied.

The official interview with Jozua Kimmich was conducted abruptly, and Kimmich entered the Munich team bus without saying a word, while Muller was being 온라인카지노사이트 interviewed in a friendly manner. A panicked Coupang Play representative followed him to retrieve him, but he never returned.

According to a Coupang Play official, the Munich club requested an additional official interview with Kimmich, so Kimmich stepped in front of the microphone. If so, there were four official interviews with Munich players, including Kim Min-jae, but Kim Min-jae did not attend the interview “officially authorized” by his club without leaving any explanation.

Of course, it”s possible that an athlete could decline an interview due to poor physical condition or fatigue. Organizers and reporters are human, and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t understand if you have a valid explanation. It would be rude to hold someone up for not feeling well.

But if you don’t tell them, they won’t know why you can’t come. Even if you don’t tell them yourself, it shouldn’t be too difficult to explain the reason to the club or Coupang Play, but Kim Min-jae didn’t do that.

What could have been so urgent and selfish? He didn’t even bother to show up for the club-approved interview in Munich, which team legends Muller and Neuer also attended, and in doing so, he deceived many of his fans.
