[Asian Games] Lim Jong-hoon and Jang Woo-jin, The Remaining Members of the Great Wall of China, “We will Make the Chinese Crowd Quiet”

“Tonight, we will make the Chinese crowd quiet.”

Jang Woo-jin and Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange), who became the first Korean table tennis players to advance to the men's doubles final at the Asian Games in 21 years, were not satisfied with the silver medal.

The pair of Zhang Woo-jin and Lim Jong-hoon defeated Taiwan's Zhuang Zhiyuan and Lin Yun-ru 4-1 in the table tennis men's doubles semifinals at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Gungsu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China on the 1st to reach the final.

Although they achieved great results, Jang Woo-jin and Lim Jong-hoon did not smile as they entered the joint reporting area (mixed zone).

Lim Jong-hoon said, “There are still finals left.

You can think of us as holding our breath.”

Jang Woo-jin also said, “It feels good, but we have rarely beaten a top ranked player and taken first place.

“This time, I really want to return to Korea with a gold medal, not a silver medal,” he said. 바카라사이트

Jang Woo-jin said, “(If we win the gold medal), there will be silence,” and added, “We will give it a try so that only ‘Long live the Republic of Korea!’ can be heard.”

On this day, with 5 games tied at 8-8, the attack of Jang Woo-jin and Lim Jong-hoon hit the edge of the table on Taiwan's side.

The ball bounced vaguely and headed downward.

The referee ruled that the ball hit the side of the table and awarded Taiwan's score.

If the game had ended in a loss for the pair of Jang Woo-jin and Lim Jong-hoon, it would have been a controversial decision.

Lim Jong-hoon said, "We thought we would score without fail.

It was a disappointing moment," and "But we were in a situation where we couldn't overturn the decision.

We didn't care and continued the game until the end."

While Shohei Ohtani was out due to Injury... '45th Gun' Olson Reclaims First Place in MLB Home Runs

Ohtani misses 2nd consecutive game after injuring his side during training 온라인카지노

Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Angels), who injured his right elbow ligament and decided to give up his two-hitting role and focus solely on being a hitter for the rest of the season, has fallen from the top spot in all home runs in the Major League Baseball (MLB).

Matt Olson (Atlanta Braves) hit his 45th home run of the season in the 6th inning against the St. Louis Cardinals held at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia, USA on the 6th (Korean time).

This is a home run in two consecutive games following the previous day’s game.

Currently, Ohtani is in first place in the American League with 44 home runs, overwhelmingly ahead of second place Louis Robert (Chicago White Sox, 35).

In the National League, three players are competing: Olsen, Pete Alonso (New York Mets, 42), and Kyle Schwarber (Philadelphia Phillies, 40).

On the 19th of last month, Olson gave up the tie for first place in all MLB home runs to Ohtani at the '43 home run' mark, and then five days later, on the 24th, Ohtani hit his 44th home run of the season and fell to second place.

While Ohtani stopped at 44 home runs, Olsen continued to fire on the 5th and 6th and rose to first place again.

Ohtani, who allowed Olsen to overtake him, remained on the bench for the second day.

Ohtani, who missed the game after feeling pain in his side during batting practice ahead of the game against the Baltimore Orioles on the 5th, did not play against Baltimore that day either.

After the game, Angels manager Phil Nevin said, "Ohtani has a little inflammation on his side, but it's not something that would be called an injury.

He wanted to play today, but we decided he needed another day of rest."

The right elbow ligament that Ohtani injured has little effect on hitting, so he continues to play.

Coach Nevin said that he requested that Ohtani be allowed to play every day as a batsman even after his injury.

“That kind of thing shows what kind of person Shohei Ohtani is.

Because that’s who he is, he’s angry at the current situation where he can’t play because of the injury.

He added, “Today, Ohtani said he wanted to play, but I decided I needed more time, so I didn’t allow him to play.”

[National Sports Festival] 'Hammer Queen' Kim Tae-hee, who is more beautiful than an actress, "I was more nervous than AG"

I started hammer throwing after my older brother... Won the AG bronze medal in two years and won the National Sports Festival with overwhelming skills... “It’s a shame I couldn’t break Korean God again.”

Kim Tae-hee (18, Irigong High School), the next-generation 'Hammer Queen' who caused a stir at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, expressed her disappointment at failing to repeat the Korean record rather than the joy of winning the National Sports Festival.

After winning the women's high school hammer throw final at the 104th Jeonnam National Sports Festival held at Mokpo Stadium in Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do on the 15th, Kim Tae-hee said, "I wanted to set a new Korean record in this competition, but it is very disappointing."

He said, “I think I was nervous because I thought I had to break the Korean record again.

I was more nervous than the Asian Games, she said.

Kim Tae-hee won a bronze medal with a Korean record of 64m14 in the women's hammer throw finals of the Hangzhou Asian Games held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 29th of last month.

At the time, Kim Tae-hee broke her Korean high school record of 61m24, as well as breaking the Korean record (63 m 80) set by Kang Na-ru in 2012.

Kim Tae-hee said, "At the time, I didn't have any expectations of winning a medal, so I think I threw comfortably.

This time, I had a strong desire to set a new Korean record once more."

Kim Tae-hee has no rivals in Korea, but on this day, she fought against herself.

Kim Tae-hee, who had already secured the gold medal by exceeding 60m in the third period, threw more effort into the hammer from the fourth period, but perhaps due to the aftereffects of participating in the Asian Games, she only recorded two consecutive 50m records.

In the last 6th period, he was disqualified because he was a bit greedy.

Kim Tae-hee said, “I will definitely break the Korean record next time,” and added, “I will not be complacent and continue training.”

Kim Tae-hee also revealed on this day how she got into the backwoods world of hammer throwing. 카지노사이트

He said, “My older brother (Kim Tae-hyung) is 2m7 tall“

“My older brother, who had a good physique since he was young, started shooting the shot put at the recommendation of those around him, and I, who had grown to 168cm tall in elementary school, followed him and started throwing the discus.” introduced.

He said, “I changed my sport in 2021, when I was a freshman in high school, after receiving advice that my body type would be advantageous for the hammer throw, and I think I gained confidence as I got better and better records.”

Kim Tae-hee, who has the same name as a famous actor, was asked, "Did you get teased a lot when you were young?" and laughed, saying, "I got teased a lot, but now I don't feel any discomfort."

When asked, ‘Become Kim Tae-hee, who is more famous than an actress,’ he smiled shyly and said, “Yes!”

The Sports Council plans to hold an official award ceremony after returning to Korea.

This is the first time that the Sports Council has promoted the selection of Asian Games MVP among Korean players.

Kim Woo-min and Im Si-hyun were selected as the best male and female players through a vote by the reporters who covered this tournament.

Kim Woo-min and Im Si-hyeon each received a prize of 30 million won.

Kim Woo-min, who is considered Korea's strongest middle- and long-distance swimmer, won three gold medals in his first Asian Games appearance.

Kim Woo-min teamed up with Hwang Sun-woo, Yang Jae-hoon (Gangwon Provincial Office), and Lee Ho-jun (Daegu Metropolitan City Hall) in the men's 800m relay final on the 25th of last month to record a time of 7 minutes 01.73 seconds, winning the Asian Games team gold medal for the first time in Korean swimming history.

In the women's team event, she teamed up with Ansan (Gwangju Women's University) and Choi Mi-seon (Gwangju Bank) to defeat the host country, China, and win the gold medal.

In the recurve mixed match with Lee Woo-seok (Kolon), she beat Japan and came out on top.

This was the first time that Korean archery won a gold medal in a mixed event at the Asian Games.

[Asian Games] Shocking Loss in Many Ways... Shin Jin-seo, 'First Loss' Against Non-Chinese and Overseas Younger Opponent

Shin Jin-seo loses by defeat to Taiwan's Xu Hao-hong in the Hangzhou AG Baduk men's individual semifinals

Shin Jin-seo's (23) 9th dan defeat in the semifinals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games is not only a disappointment in winning the championship, but is even more painful in two ways.  카지노사이트킹

Shin Jin-seo lost to Taiwan's Xu Hao-hong (22), 9th dan, in 278 moves in the men's individual semifinals of the Baduk tournament held at the China Baduk Association branch in Hangzhou, China on the 28th.

This is the first time Shin Jin-seo lost to a non-Chinese foreign professional.

Shin Jin-seo, who recorded 193 wins and 82 losses against Chinese knights, appeared invincible with 37 wins out of 37 against Japanese knights and 10 wins out of 10 against Taiwanese knights.

Except for China, the home country of baduk, no country has been able to come up with an article that can rival Shin Jin-seo.

However, with this loss, Shin Jin-seo's undefeated streak against non-Chinese opponents (53 wins in 53 matches) was halted 11 years after joining the team in 2012.

This is the first time Shin Jin-seo lost to a foreign driver younger than him.

Shin Jin-seo was born on March 17, 2000, and Xu Hao-hong was born on April 30, 2001.

Coincidentally, it was right before Shin Jin-seo's departure for the Asian Games that he lost to a younger rider for the first time in his life.

On the 18th of this month, Shin Jin-seo lost to Park Ji-hyun (18), 5th Dan, who is 5 years younger than him, in the quarterfinals of the 45th SG Cup Hankook Ilbo Master Tournament in 157 moves.

Shin Jin-seo moved to Hangzhou, China four days later and has been competing in the men's individual event of this tournament since the 24th.

There are concerns that losing to a younger rider again in 10 days will be as much of an internal injury to Shin Jin-seo as missing the gold medal.

It appears that the urgent priority is to aim for as much of a turnaround as possible in the men's individual bronze medal match and the men's team event.
