Kang Gyeong-nam, who is now 41 years old and has entered his 21st year of tour experience, said, “It takes a lot of strength to compete with young players who hit long shots,” and added, “To compete with them, I carry my bicycle in the trunk of my car and exercise my lower body whenever I have time.”

He added that recently, after taking putt lessons, his putt improved and his confidence returned.

Rookie Jang Yu-bin, Korean-Canadian Lee Tae-hoon, Miguel Carballo (Argentina), and Kim Woo-hyun were named in a tie for second place (5 under par, 66 strokes), one stroke behind Kang Gyeong-nam.

In addition, Park Sang-hyun, who is the same age as Kang Gyeong-nam and has 12 wins in total, tied for 6th place with Lee Jeong-hwan and others with 4 under par 67 strokes.

Last year’s grand prize winner Ham Jeong-woo, who was away at the beginning of the season to participate in the Korn Ferry Tour, the second division tour of the PGA of America, finished the first day with 3 under par 68 in his first domestic tournament of the season. 토토사이트 순위

For the fourth year in a row, he donated to Shinaewon, which his father, Lee Jong-beom, helped for 30 years.

Lee Jeong-hoo and Lee Jong-beom have been sponsoring Shin Aewon, a Gwangju children’s welfare facility, for generations.

Jeong-hoo Lee (25), who is playing in the Major League Baseball (MLB), has practiced sharing for four consecutive years, following his father Jong-beom Lee (53), former coach of the LG Twins.

When Lee Jong-beom was a player, he invited Shin Ae-won’s children to Gwangju Stadium to watch the game, and in 2001, when he returned from Japan, he signed the player’s uniform and bat that he used and gave them as a gift.

Director Kim Joseph and Shin Ae-won said, “I am really grateful to Jeong-hoo Lee for taking care of Children’s Day despite his busy schedule with major league activities.” 토토사이트 추천

“The biggest reason Korean soccer didn’t make it to the finals is the coach.”

Korea, which was designated as a candidate to win the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, finished the tournament in the semifinals. Foreign reporters in Qatar who showed great interest in Korea even before the start of the tournament all cited coach Jurgen Klinsmann as the reason for Korea’s failure to win the championship. 카지노사이트

The Korean national soccer team, led by Coach Klinsmann, lost 0-2 in the Asian Cup semifinal against Jordan held at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 7th (Korean time).

Korea was considered a strong candidate for the championship, with players who played as main players in big European clubs such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain). Expectations were high because all of the key players showed off their peak skills for their teams before the competition.

However, as the saying goes, ‘It’s worth it to be able to put together a horse’, and the team’s bid to win the Asian Cup after 64 years was canceled due to an incompetent coach who could not utilize the strengths of the players. The results were disappointing, but the performance throughout the competition was also disastrous. The offense was dull and the defense was disorganized and lacked organization.

Coach Jürgen Klinsmann of the Korean national soccer team, ahead of the semifinals against Jordan in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, is having a team meeting with players at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar, on the 3rd (local time).

Foreign reporters who had been watching the Korean game with anticipation in this tournament also did not hide their disappointment.

Iraq’s Azzaman reporter Ahmadi Haji said, “Korea is a team with several star players representing Asia, including Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Kang-in. However, the performance we showed in this tournament was disappointing throughout,” he said. “We struggled in the group stage against Jordan, and it did not change in the semifinals. “There was no tactical development,” he criticized.

He continued, “The biggest problem is the coach who coaches the team. “Coach Klinsmann did not show his smarts throughout this tournament,” he said. “He was passive, only making changes when he conceded a goal. He claimed, “The greatest responsibility for Korea’s elimination lies with Coach Klinsmann.”

After the quarterfinals, “Korea is the team that is attracting the most attention here (Qatar) right now. “Wherever you go, there is only talk about Korea,” said Milat Azami, a reporter for Iran’s Mizan News Agency who focused on the Klinsmann. “It’s a pity that Korea didn’t make it to the finals. However, looking at the performance, it is a natural result. “Jordan was a better team than Korea,” he said.

Mohammad Zamani, a reporter for Iranian media outlet Football iNet, said, “Korea’s problem is clear. “Director,” he said, “Korea was scary during the time of coach Paulo Bento, but not now. I think this is an opponent that any team can face without being intimidated. “Korea has lost its former image as a powerhouse,” pointed out Coach Klinsmann. In the past, under Coach Bento, Korea recorded 1 win, 2 draws, and no loss against Iran.

Meanwhile, Coach Klinsmann will board a plane to Korea with the players on the 8th. Coach Klinsmann expressed his intention to continue leading Korea, saying, “I will prepare for the World Cup qualifiers in Korea.” 토토사이트 순위

Heungkuk Life Insurance Willow (left) and Raina.

“I think a good team is not an ‘entity’ created by a combination of perfect players, but a certain ‘state’ that is reached by players who have many shortcomings, sympathizing with each other and helping to fill in the gaps.” ─ Kwak Han-young ‘Volleyball, the moment of falling in love’

Nowadays, professional volleyball articles are making headlines every day, but Heungkuk Life Insurance’s Willow (26, USA) was a player whom it was difficult to put the adjectives ‘perfect’ or ‘good’ in front of. 메이저사이트

If that were the case, I wouldn’t have had to ‘drink water’ twice during the foreign player tryout.

Reina (25, Japan) from the same team was also selected last overall during the Asia Quarter player draft.

However, as the two players met and formed a team, Heungkuk Life Insurance started the 5th round with a shutout (3-0) win in two consecutive games, even in a situation where the ‘Volleyball Empress’ Kim Yeon-kyung (36, Heungkuk Life Insurance) was struggling compared to Kim Yeon-kyung.

‘OH’ is an outside hitter, ‘MB’ is a middle blocker, ‘S’ is a setter, and ‘OP’ is an offering spiker.

‘Volleyball Bikini‘ (https://bit.ly/49qnA05), dated the 25th of last month, covered how Heungkuk Life Insurance had a hard time attacking when both Kim Yeon-kyung and foreign players were in the rear.

He wrote, “It is not easy to fundamentally solve this problem if the outside heater who stands opposite Kim Yeon-kyung does not support it.”

Here, the ‘outside hitter who stands opposite Kim Yeon-kyung’ is Raina.

Raina was a player whose offensive efficiency was only 0.244 until the 4th round when she played with Jelena (27, Bosnia and Herzegovina).

Then, in the 5th round, she teamed up with Willow and raised this record to 0.507, the current first place in the women’s division.

‘Birds fly with left and right wings’

In volleyball, when player A and player B ‘stand on a diagonal’, it means that when A is in the front line, B is always in the back line.

Conversely, even when player A is in the back line, player B is always in the front line.

Therefore, when Kim Yeon-kyung is in the rear, Raina must take responsibility for the attack on the left side of the front line.

And in two out of three of these rotation situations, Willow is always in the vanguard.

Willow is an offering spiker who used to be called ‘Light’, so she is in charge of the right side of the court. 토토사이트 추천

Masahiro Tanaka returns to Rakuten in 2021

Masahiro Tanaka (35, Rakuten Eagles), once an ace representing Japanese professional baseball, suffered the humiliation of having his salary cut short of his 200th career win in American and Japanese professional baseball.

Kyodo News reported on the 21st (Korean time) that Tanaka signed a one-year contract with his team, the Rakuten Eagles, for 260 million yen (about 2.35 billion won), a 45.3% reduction from the previous year’s salary.

Tanaka recorded an unprecedented 24 wins and no losses in the Japanese professional baseball season in the 2013 season and advanced to the American Major League. 메이저-토토사이트

Tanaka, who signed a 7-year, $155 million contract with the New York Yankees in 2014, received the highest salary in the posting system’s history at the time.

Tanaka’s posting amount was broken for the first time in 10 years when Yoshinobu Yamamoto recently signed a 12-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers worth $325 million (about 428.8 billion won).

Masahiro Tanaka during his time with the New York Yankees

Tanaka returned to Rakuten in 2021 after recording 78 wins, 46 losses, and an earned run average (ERA) of 3.74 over seven seasons in the major league.

However, after returning to Japan, Tanaka’s performance was not good.

In 2021, he went 4-9 with an ERA of 3.01, in 2022 he went 9-12 with an ERA of 3.31, and in 2023 he went 7-11 with an ERA of 4.91.

As his grades plummeted, his salary also decreased significantly.

Tanaka, who received 900 million yen in the 2021-2022 season, had his annual salary cut to 475 million yen in the 2023 season, and then cut in half again to 260 million yen in the 2024 season.

Last fall, I even underwent arthroscopic surgery to clean my right elbow.

However, Tanaka is burning his will to achieve his 200th win in the U.S. and Japan.

Tanaka, who has 119 wins and 67 losses over 10 seasons in Japan, has a total of 197 wins (113 losses) in the U.S. and Japan.

Tanaka showed his determination, saying, “I haven’t achieved results (since returning to Japan), but I still believe I can do well.”

Tanaka is accelerating his rehabilitation with the goal of joining the starting rotation early this season. 토토사이트

Korean players celebrate after scoring against Ireland

The Korean men’s hockey team failed to advance to the finals of this year’s Paris Olympics.

Korea lost 3-4 in a close match against Ireland in the 3rd-4th place match on the last day of the 2024 Paris Olympics men’s hockey final qualifying competition held in Valencia, Spain on the 22nd (Korean time).

The top three in this competition, in which eight countries participated, could advance to the finals of this year’s Paris Olympics, but unfortunately Korea stayed in fourth place and did not qualify for the finals. 안전 토토사이트

As a result, Korean men’s hockey will not be able to advance to the Olympic finals for the third consecutive time, following Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021.

Following Tokyo in 2021, qualification to the Olympics for men’s and women’s hockey was thwarted for the second consecutive time.

Korea was down 0-2, but caught up with Kim Seong-hyun (Seongnam City Hall) scoring a penalty corner. Afterwards, whenever the score was 1-3 or 2-4, Jeong Jun-woo (Gimhae City Hall) and Jang Jong-hyeon (Seongnam City Hall) made up for it with a goal each. In the end, we couldn’t tie the score.

Twelve countries are participating in men’s hockey at this year’s Paris Olympics: France, Australia, the Netherlands, India, Argentina, South Africa, Belgium, Spain, Ireland, Germany, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.

Korean players rejoice after scoring against Ireland

As a result, hockey became the fourth team ball sport at the Paris Olympics to fail in the finals for both men and women, following basketball, water polo, and rugby.

In volleyball, the chances of advancing to the finals of the Paris Olympics are slim for both men and women, and men’s handball and women’s soccer have already failed to advance to the finals.

Currently, women’s handball is the only team ball sport that has been confirmed to advance to the Paris Olympics, and men’s soccer will attempt to advance to the Olympics through the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 Asian Cup to be held in Qatar in April this year.

Excluding individual sports such as badminton, golf, table tennis, and tennis, it is highly likely that only women’s handball and men’s soccer will participate in the Paris Olympics.

In Tokyo 2021, in addition to men’s soccer and women’s handball, Korea also participated in the finals in women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, and men’s rugby, and also participated in baseball, which is not held at this year’s Paris Olympics. 안전 토토사이트
