Korean Shooting Challenges ‘Korea’s First Medal Shot’ in Paris
Since Yeo Gap-soon in 1992, the Korean Olympic team has won medals a total of four times.
Looking forward to the mixed rifle team competition to be held on the evening of July 27th, Korean time.
Korean shooting, which has won 7 gold medals, 9 silver medals, and 1 bronze medal in past Olympics, is a fruitful sport that has served as a 'medal priming water' for the Korean athletes. https://www.casinositetop.com
At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Yeo Gap-sun of the women's 10m air rifle gave the Korean team its first medal, beating Vesela Lecheva (Bulgaria), who was reigning as the world's strongest player at the time, and at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Kang Cho-hyun of the women's 10m air rifle won a silver medal.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 'shooting king' Jin Jong-oh won a silver medal in the men's 10m air pistol and at the 2012 London Olympics, he shot a gold medal in the same event, becoming Korea's first medalist in two consecutive competitions.
It has been a common scene at the Olympics so far to see a series of 'golden good news' delivered in other events after a medal is won in the shooting event held at the beginning of the competition.
The Paris Olympics, which are only two months away from opening, could also see its first medal in shooting.
Based on the events in which our country's athletes participated, the earliest 'medal match' held at the Paris Olympics is the bronze medal match in the 10m air rifle mixed team event held at 5:30 p.m. on July 27, the day after the opening ceremony in Korean time.
30 minutes later, at 6 p.m., the final of the mixed team event will be held for the gold medal.
Although the shooting team has not yet been able to devote much training time to the mixed team competition, we are cautiously expecting a medal considering our team's ability to maintain a high level of skill. https://www.liveinternet.ru/us....ers/casinositewiki/p
At the Paris Olympic Shooting Media Day held at the Jincheon National Team Athletes' Village on the 27th, head coach of the shooting team Gap-seok said, "The mixed team event is a very difficult game where not even a single mistake is tolerated.
If you make even one mistake, it is difficult to make up for it.
The base of foreign athletes is quite large.
However, I am trying hard to take on the challenge,” he explained.
