    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.

    Men’s Basketball in the 2024 Olympics Will Not Include Russia

    The Russian men’s basketball team will not be able to compete in upcoming Olympic qualifying tournaments, according to the international governing body of basketball, effectively preventing the team from taking part in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sports organizations have continued to forbid Russian athletes from competing in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

    Russia’s world ranking was sufficient for them to participate in Olympic pre-qualifying competitions this year, but Bulgaria will take its place as the next-highest-ranked team from Europe, according to a statement from FIBA that cited recommendations from the IOC.

    Although Belarus was also considered in the IOC’s decision, neither the men’s nor women’s competitions are open to the nation because of its low ranking.

    According to reports, Bulgaria’s team took the place of the Russian one. The national teams of Russia and Belarus were formerly barred from competing in events held under the organization’s auspices.

    “Following the IOC recommendations on the participation of athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport in international competitions published on 28 토토 March, the FIBA   Executive Committee decided not to allow the registration of the Russian men’s team in Olympic pre-qualification tournaments.”

    Other sports organizations, like the Polish Fencing Federation, which postponed a women’s foil competition earlier this month, have also called off Olympic qualifying competitions because Russian and Belarusian athletes were permitted to compete. Similar cancellations were made by the fencing federations of Germany and France.

    Last month, the International Ice Hockey Federation declared that it will uphold its ban on Russian and Belarusian teams and forbid them from competing in upcoming competitions.

    Due to their suspension from the World Cup and EuroBasket qualification last year, the Russian women’s team previously failed to qualify. The men’s and women’s teams are ineligible to field Belarus.

    The tennis association has joined the U.S. Open, which said last year that it would accept competitors from either nation so as to avoid holding “the individual athletes accountable for their actions and decisions of their governments.”

    Russian and Belarusian athletes are now prohibited from competing in international athletic competitions as a result of the IOC’s first decision to do so. Since then, the IOC has changed its mind and announced it will permit Russian and Belarusian athletes to 사설토토 compete under a neutral flag. In a statement released in February, representatives from more than 30 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the host nation France, stated that they “do not agree” with the IOC’s change of heart.

    More than 300 former and current international fencers urged for the ban to be upheld, claiming that their participation would be “a catastrophic error,” and individual athletes have also criticized the decision.
