    Hwang Sun-woo, 100 Days Before the Olympics

    Hwang Sun-woo, 100 Days Before the Olympics, “I Lacked Experience in Tokyo… Paris will be Different”

    Archery Lim Si-hyun “Goal of 10 consecutive wins in team competition”… Fencing Oh Sang-wook “Men’s saber has the advantage of spirit”

    100 days before the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the leading stars of each sport showed their determination to raise the national flag on the podium.

    Hwang Sun-woo (Gangwon Provincial Office), the mainstay of Korean swimming, met with reporters after attending the Paris Olympics D-100 national team encouragement event held at the Jincheon National Team Training Center in North Chungcheong Province on the 17th and said, “Swimming is receiving a lot of attention, and we need to do our best to bring out medals.” 안전놀이터 메이저사이트

    “I will prepare,” he said with determination.

    Hwang Seon-woo is one of the most anticipated players among the Korean swimming team, which has recently experienced a ‘renaissance’.

    At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, he took 4th place in the semifinals of the 100m freestyle, becoming the first Korean athlete to reach the finals of the event, but finished in 5th place.

    In the 200m freestyle, he ranked 1st overall in the preliminaries, but only 7th in the finals, which was disappointing.

    “At Tokyo, it was my first time competing in such a big competition, so I over-paced and lacked management because I had no experience,” said Hwang Sun-woo, who emphasized, “Now that I have experience, I want to do well in the finals and get on the podium.”

    He, who is planning to compete in four events at the Paris Olympics, said, “I am worried about the days when the games overlap, so I am doing a lot of weight training and high-intensity endurance training.

    I am trying to strengthen my body after the World Championships, and my condition is not bad.” did.

    Hwang Sun-woo then smiled and said, “I saw the Paris Olympic swimming stadium in a social media photo and it was pretty.

    I want to stand on a pretty podium in a pretty stadium.”

    Lim Si-hyun (Korea National Sports University), who won three gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games and stands as the ace of archery, a ‘heroic sport’, dreams of Korea’s 10th consecutive Olympic women’s team title.

    Park Young-Hyun and Son Dong-Hyun, No Runs

    Park Young-Hyun and Son Dong-Hyun, No Runs… The Key to KT’s Rebound From 2 Losses is ‘Bullpen’

    Professional baseball KT Wiz finisher Kim Jae-yoon did not pitch in the first and second games of the playoffs (PO) against the NC Dinos.

    As they were pushed back early in the first and second games held in their home Suwon,

    there was no opportunity for KT’s closing pitcher to take the mound. 안전놀이터 토토사이트

    KT Wiz

    KT, who suffered 2 losses in the PO of 3 wins out of 5, will exit the fall stage if they lose one more.

    In PO games 1 and 2, KT had offensive indicators (KT team batting average of 0.227, 7 runs, NC team batting average of 0.243, 12 runs) and starting pitcher performance (KT 8 innings, 10 hits, 10 runs, 7 earned runs, NC 12⅓ innings, 4 hits, 1 run) was pushed out of

    However, in the bullpen battle, KT was ahead of NC.

    Game 1 and 2 starters William Cuevas (6 hits, 7 runs, 4 earned runs in 3 innings) and Wes Benjamin (4 hits, 3 runs in 5 innings) both pitched below expectations, so the KT bullpen was responsible for a total of 10 innings in the 2 games.

    Despite quite a bit of pressure, the KT bullpen did well in 10 innings,

    allowing 8 hits and 2 runs (average ERA of 1.80).

    NC Dinos

    NC fought back from Eric Peddy (6 innings, 3 hits, 1 run) followed by Shin Min-hyuk (6 ⅓ innings, 1 hit, no runs),

    leaving only 5 ⅔ innings to the bullpen in the 2 games.

    Although they maintained victory in both games, the NC bullpen,

    somewhat tired after going through the wild card game and semi-playoff,

    gave up 11 hits in 5⅔ innings and allowed 6 runs (5 earned, ERA 7.94).

    In particular, the fact that closer Lee Yong-chan had 5 hits in 1⅔ innings of two games raises anxiety.

    Lee Yong-chan was responsible for only one run,

    but he allowed four runners sent out by the preceding pitcher to score.

    KT’s ideal scenario for the remainder of the series, which is pushed to the edge,

    is to start the bullpen fight while taking the lead.

    Park Young-hyun (KT), who ranked first in holds in this year’s regular season with 3 wins, 3 losses, 4 saves, 32 holds, and an ERA of 2.75,

    appeared in both games in this PO and pitched well, allowing 1 hit and no runs in 3 innings.

    Son Dong-hyun, another pillar of the bullpen, also pitched well in this PO,

    allowing 2 hits and no runs in 3 innings in 2 games.

    Despite Player Requests, KIA is Considering Selecting a New Coach

    “Please Appoint me Quickly”… Despite Player Requests, KIA is Considering Selecting a New Coach

    The professional baseball KIA Tigers are being cautious in selecting a new manager.

    Last weekend, the KIA club narrowed down the candidates for a new manager to the first round and entered

    into comprehensive discussions with its parent company, Hyundai-Kia Motors Group.

    KIA Tigers

    The best scenario for KIA, which quickly put the team together after the sudden dismissal of former coach Kim Jong-guk,

    is for the new coach to greet the players before the end of the first spring camp in Canberra, Australia, which runs until the 20th.

    However, due to the four-day Lunar New Year holiday from the 9th to the 12th,

    the process of appointing a director may be delayed longer than expected. 토토사이트

    The candidate recommended on site may be different from the candidate selected by the parent company,

    and interviews must be held for director candidates in the meantime.

    Time is not on KIA’s side.

    Shim Jae-hak

    KIA general manager Shim Jae-hak, who was supposed to travel to Canberra with the players to support them locally as planned,

    is currently stranded in Gwangju while looking for a new coach.

    Director Shim said on the 6th, “I am in frequent contact with CEO Choi Jun-young and share the director selection process,”

    “Considering the schedule of candidate compression, interviews, and Lunar New Year holidays,

    I cannot say for sure when a new director will be appointed. “He said.

    He continued, “We are listening to various opinions and public opinion and are carefully considering the appointment of a new coach.”

    However, Director Shim added that he hopes that the players training in Australia will appoint a new captain as soon as possible.

    General Manager Shim introduced the current team atmosphere,

    saying, “I have no choice but to ask senior players through phone calls and messages what I need to do to support the players locally,

    and most of them were hoping that a new coach would be appointed quickly.”

    KIA is looking for a leader who can lead the current team that was suddenly hit by a stray bullet,

    produce good results, and be good at communicating with players,

    but leaders with all three virtues are very rare in Korean professional baseball.

    Therefore, depending on who is selected as KIA’s new captain,

    the direction of the Tigers’ team operation after this year or next year is expected to be clearly revealed.

    Asian Cup, The Head of the Saudi Football Association

    Asian Cup, The Head of the Saudi Football Association is also Uncomfortable with Mancini’s ‘Leaving Work Early’

    The Saudi Arabian Football Association also showed signs of dissatisfaction with coach Roberto Mancini,

    known as the world’s highest-paid head coach, for leaving work early during the Korean game.

    According to the Arab daily Asharq Al-Awsat, Saudi Football Association President Yasser al-Misehal said Coach Mancini’s performance

    in the round of 16 against Korea in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC)

    Asian Cup held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 31st (Korean time).

    He pointed out that his actions were not appropriate. 먹튀검증가이드

    Saudi Arabia

    In an interview with a local broadcaster, Chairman Almisehal said,

    “It is difficult to understand why Coach Mancini left (the ground),” and added,

    “We will discuss with Coach Mancini why he did such a thing.”

    Still, he added, “I am satisfied with (Saudi Arabia’s) performance that Coach Mancini brought out.”

    Saudi Arabia, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann,

    was tied 1-1 for 120 minutes until overtime and lost 2-4 in a penalty shootout.

    Saudi Arabia, who allowed Cho Kyu-seong (Midtjylland) to score the tying goal just before the end of the second half,

    forcing an unplanned overtime period,

    lost their third and fourth kickers in succession in the penalty shoot-out,

    giving their ticket to the quarterfinals to Klinsmann.

    When Saudi Arabia’s second miss occurred in the penalty shootout,

    Coach Mancini left the bench and went into the tunnel.

    Coach Roberto Mancini

    There is growing criticism that coach Mancini’s attitude is irresponsible,

    as he appears to have given up on the game before the players,

    rather than watching until the end when the team’s victory or defeat is decided.

    When asked to explain this behavior at a press conference immediately after the game,

    Coach Mancini replied, “I apologize.

    I thought the game was over,” and “I had no intention of disrespecting anyone.”

    He continued, “I want to say thank you to all the players.

    “He has improved a lot,” he said.

    Coach Mancini is known to receive the highest salary among soccer coaches around the world.

    When he took over Saudi Arabia in August last year,

    Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport reported that his annual salary was 25 million euros (about 36.1 billion won) reported up to 30 million euros (43 billion won).

    Coach Mancini, who left European football for Saudi Arabia after being offered a large salary,

    is a self-proclaimed ‘master’.

    England’s Manchester City won their first Premier League (EPL) title. 카지노사이트 백링크

    He has won numerous championship trophies on the professional stage,

    including leading Italy’s Inter Milan to three consecutive Serie A titles (2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008 seasons),

    The NBA said, “Even if you look at the history of other sports in the United States,

    it is not common for someone to be selected as an All-Star or similar category more than 20 times,” adding,

    “James is one of the three Musketeers (Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Stan Musial) in hockey and Gordy Howe in baseball.”

    he said, “I was named to the ‘20+ All-Star List.’”

    He Starting this season, the NBA abolished the existing method of conducting a draft in which the player selected as captain had the right to select players.

    who received the most votes in fan voting across the East and West.

    The NBA created the starting lineup for the All-Star Game by reflecting 50% of fan votes and 25% of player and media votes each.

    History-making Hwang Sun-woo and the golden generation of Olympic medals

    AG team wins first ever gold medal in 800m freestyle relay
    Showcasing their impressive growth, they also set an Asian record

    The “golden generation”

    Of Korean swimming, led by Hwang Sun-woo (20-Gangwon Provincial Office), 스포츠토토 has won the

    country’s first-ever gold medal in a management team event at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games.

    The South Korean swimming team of Yang Jae-hoon (25-Gangwon Provincial Government), Lee Ho-joon

    (22-Daegu Metropolitan City Government), Kim Woo-min (22) and Hwang Sun-woo (20) were the first to

    touch the touchpad in an Asian record time of 7:01.73 in the men’s 800m freestyle relay final at the

    Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Aquatic Sports Arena in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on Friday.

    Neither China

    Who were considered the favorites, nor Japan, who had only missed out on gold in this event at the

    previous Asian Games in Guangzhou in 2010, were able to match the Koreans.

    China, led by Wang Sun and Fan Zhanle, who set Asian records in the men’s 200-meter individual medley

    and 100-meter freestyle, respectively, finished second in 7:03.40. Japan won the bronze medal in 7:06.29.

    This is the first time Korean swimming has ever won gold in a management team event at an Asian Games. The previous best result was a silver medal.

    Lee Sang-joon, Woo Chul, Woo Won-ki and Bang Seung-hoon

    Won silver in the men’s 800-meter freestyle relay in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1994, and Park Tae-hwan, Park

    Sun-kwan, Choi Kyu-woong and Jung Doo-hee won the second silver medal in the men’s 400-meter medley relay in Guangzhou in 2010.

    On the women’s side, Korea has won silver medals in the 400-meter medley relay (Kim Eun-jung, Myung

    Kyung-hyun, Lee Moon-hee, Eun-joo) in Beijing in 1990 and the 400-meter freestyle relay (Lee Da-lin,

    Yang Ji-won, Ahn Se-hyun, Kim Mi-so) in Incheon in 2014.

    The record was even more dazzling.

    They shaved 0.53 seconds off the previous Asian record (7:02.26) set by Japan at the 2009 World

    Championships in Rome, before polyurethane full-body swimsuits were banned.

    The Korean record (7:04.07), set at the Fukuoka World Championships in July, 토토 was shaved off by 2.34 seconds in less than two months.

    Winning the gold medal in the medley relay at the Asian Games is even more meaningful as the team’s

    performance is based on the growth of the entire swimming program.

    In particular, the 800-meter freestyle relay team didn’t rely on a single star, but rather on four swimmers who performed evenly and dominated to win gold.

    This was the result of strategic investments by the Korean Swimming Federation, as well as the

    emergence of a number of promising young athletes centered around the stars Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min.

    Hwang Sun-woo

    Was a major breakthrough for South Korean swimming, which hadn’t seen a major star since Park Tae-hwan changed the sport’s history.

    At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021, he broke the Korean record in the men’s 200m freestyle (1:44.62) and set a new Asian record in the 100m freestyle semifinals (47.56), becoming the first Asian swimmer to reach an Olympic men’s 100m freestyle final in 65 years since Dani Atsushi (JPN) at Melbourne 1956.

    Since then, Hwang has become a world-class swimmer.

    Last year, he won a silver medal in the 200m freestyle at the Budapest World Championships in a Korean record time of 1:44.47, and this year he won a bronze medal at the Fukuoka World Championships, lowering the Korean record to 1:44.42.

    With the emergence of Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min has shown signs of growth in the men’s middle and long distances.

    Seeing the potential for Asian Games gold in the 800-meter freestyle relay, where the duo can anchor, the KFA put together a special strategic development squad of the top four men’s freestyle swimmers from last year’s and this year’s national team selections to train in Australia.

    The results of the training paid off at last year’s World Championships in Budapest.

    At last year’s World Championships in Budapest

    The team of Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min, Lee Ho-joon and Lee Yoo-yeon (Korea Gymnastics) set a new Korean record in the 800-meter freestyle relay preliminaries with a time of 7:08.49 and finished fourth overall. It was South Korea’s first-ever team final at a World Championships.

    After making history, the team finished sixth in the final. Less than a day later, they broke the Korean record again with a time of 7:06.93.

    At this year’s World Championships in Fukuoka, the team of Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min, Yang Jae-hoon, and Lee Ho-joon set a new Korean record of 7:06.82 in the preliminaries and qualified for the final in sixth place overall. In the final, less than a day later, they broke the Korean record by 2.75 seconds, touching the touchpad in 7:04.07. The final ranking was 6th.

    The same team with the same members, just in different alphabetical order, set another record at the Asian Games.

    In addition to the team performance, the 800-meter freestyle relay swimmers have also shown improvement in their individual events.

    Hwang Sun-woo continues to break the Korean record in his main event, the 200-meter freestyle.

    Kim Woo-min

    Who had a personal best of 3:45.59 in the 400m freestyle before this year’s World Championships in Fukuoka, improved his time to 3:44.52 in the preliminaries and 3:43.92 in the final.

    Lee Ho-joon

    Also reached the final of the 200m freestyle alongside Hwang Sun-woo at the World Championships in Fukuoka, and also made the final of the 100m freestyle, which is not his main event at the Asian Games.

    The meteoric rise of Korea’s 800-meter freestyle relay team has raised hopes of a first-ever team medal at Paris 2024.

    The team has shaved 6.76 seconds off their time in just two years.

    With all four members of the squad just entering their prime, there’s plenty of potential for further improvement if they prepare as well as they have in the past.

    If you look at the men’s 800-meter freestyle relay final at this year’s World Championships in Fukuoka, the time they set that day was already a medal-winning time. Great Britain won the final in 6:59.08, the United States took silver in 7:00.02, and the bronze medal went to Australia in 7:02.13.

    With the gold medal, all of the relay swimmers will now be able to resolve their military service issues, giving them more momentum to train and compete.

    The eyes of the ‘golden generation’ now turn to Paris 2024. If they continue their upward trend, a first team medal in Olympic history is not out of the question. 스포츠토토링크

    golf’ Heo Jeong-gubae

    Gained 12 kilograms and increased her distance by 20 meters
    Second win of the year after winning the governorship of Jeju Island
    Likely to be selected for the national team next year

    South Korean reservist Park Jung-hoon

    (17, Suseong Bangtongo) topped the 69th Korea Amateur Golf Championship, the country’s most prestigious amateur event.

    Park carded an eagle, three birdies, a bogey and a double-bogey to cut two strokes off his score in the final four rounds of the tournament at Namseoul Country Club (Par 71) in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi Province, on Monday.

    His final total of 12-under-par 272 gave him a three-stroke lead over second-place finisher Im Tae-young. Park was the only player in the 107-player field to shoot in the 60s all four days.

    The 6-foot-1, 170-centimeter tall

    South Korean bulked up from 55 to 67 kilograms during winter training. 토토 As he gained strength in his swing, his driver distance increased by 20 meters to about 280 meters.

    The increased distance helped him win his second trophy of the year after winning the Jeju Governor’s Cup last month.

    Park’s victory in the Heojeong Gradient, which carries the most ranking points of any amateur event (750 points for the win), will help him secure a spot on next year’s national team.

    Founded in 1954

    the tournament is the oldest golf tournament in South Korea for both amateurs and professionals, and is often referred to as the “cradle of Korean golf” and has produced many star players, including Kim Kyung-tae (winner in 2004 and 2006), 스포츠토토링크 Noh Seung-yeol (winner in 2005) and Kim Biao (winner in 2008).
