Korean Taekwondo Aiming for Gold Kick with the Pride of the Leading Nation on the Line

The Olympic gold streak that was cut off in Tokyo will be continued in Paris.

Park Tae-jun, Seo Geon-woo, Lee Da-bin, and Kim Yu-jin will be going out… Aiming for at least one gold medal

Korean Taekwondo felt the pain of the global Taekwondo power leveling at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021.

Korea, the home of Taekwondo, won one silver medal and two bronze medals, but failed to win a gold medal.

It was the first time since Taekwondo was adopted as an official Olympic event that Korea failed to win a gold medal at the Olympics. 토토사이트 추천

The Taekwondo team, which was devastated by the shock of not winning a gold medal, is determined to restore the pride of the home country at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The national team has set a goal of winning at least one gold medal at this competition.

In fact, the prospects for Korean Taekwondo are not very bright.

Korea will send only four athletes to the Paris Olympics.

Park Tae-jun (Kyung Hee University) in the men’s 58kg class, Seo Geon-woo (Korea National Sport University) in the men’s 80kg class, and Lee Da-bin (Seoul City Hall) in the women’s over-67kg class secured tickets to Paris through the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) Olympic rankings, while Kim Yu-jin (Ulsan Metropolitan City Sports Council) in the women’s 57kg class caught the last train after going through the twists and turns of the Paris Olympic Asian Qualification Tournament.

This is the first time since the 2012 London Olympics that Korean taekwondo will send fewer than four athletes to the Olympics.

In order to prevent medals from being concentrated in certain countries, Olympic taekwondo was limited to two weight classes per country (men and women) up to a maximum of four athletes until the 2012 London Olympics.

Starting with the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, the number of athletes allowed was increased to one athlete per weight class, up to a maximum of eight.

Accordingly, Korea sent five athletes to the Rio de Janeiro Games and six to the Tokyo 2020 Games.

However, at the Paris Olympics, only four athletes will compete, the lowest number ever since the restrictions on the number of athletes per country were lifted.

Of course, all four athletes competing this time are evaluated as having the potential to win medals.

However, it is difficult to guarantee a gold medal.

Park Tae-jun is the next-generation ace who defeated Jang Jun (Korea Gas Corporation), the star of Korean taekwondo, in the domestic selection.

However, he has no Olympic experience, and the weight class is full of strong players such as Mohamed Khalil Zendoubi (Tunisia), the silver medalist at the Tokyo Olympics and world number one.

The 58kg class, the lightest weight class for men in Olympic taekwondo, is also a weight class with many variables.

Furthermore, Korean taekwondo has had a particularly bad relationship with the 58kg class for men in the Olympics.

Korea succeeded in winning medals in the weight class at the 2012 London Olympics (Lee Dae-hoon, silver medal), the 2016 Rio Olympics (Kim Tae-hoon, bronze medal), and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (Jang Jun, bronze medal), but has never won a gold medal.

Park Tae-jun is determined to become the first Korean athlete to win a gold medal in the men’s 58 kg class at the Olympics.

Baseball Revolution, ABS and the Era of Pay-Per-Viewing

Baseball Revolution’ ABS and the Era of Pay-Per-Viewing… Doubleheader Emerges as a Variable

Fairness secured by introducing ABS for the first time in the world in professional leagues, era of paid viewing begins with contract with mobile platform ‘Tving’, joys and sorrows of each team mixed with weekend double headers

If we were to pick three issues that heated up the first half of the 2024 professional baseball season, they would be the introduction of the Automatic Pitch Judgment System (ABS), the start of the pay-per-view era, and the implementation of doubleheaders.

The ABS system, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) that receives data rather than human umpires to determine strikes and balls, was evaluated to have made a successful soft landing in the first half.

Also, paid viewing, which had strong psychological resistance from baseball fans, is gradually gaining ground. 무료슬롯사이트

While there is agreement that doubleheaders with two games played in a day are a “necessary evil” on the field, there is a growing sense of discontent due to the advantages and disadvantages for each team.

The KBO League has lost the wasteful debate on ‘Why is this a strike?’

The event that changed the appearance of the KBO League the most this year was the introduction of ABS.

ABS, which was first introduced in the history of professional leagues around the world, has received high satisfaction so far despite numerous concerns.

Above all, baseball fans say that the biggest stress when watching baseball has disappeared, as they are free from the controversy over judgement discrimination, such as “Why are they not giving a call to our team?”

In fact, according to the results of a survey conducted by the KBO office, around 90% of fans are satisfied with the introduction of ABS.

The introduction of new technology has resolved human conflicts and even maximized efficiency.

Automatic Pitch Judgment System, which tracks the pitch location value through a tracking system and then determines strikes and balls, is nothing short of a baseball revolution.

Fierce protests about umpires’ ball calls, which were a common reason for players and managers to be ejected, are no longer seen, and the game progresses more quickly.

Now that we have reached an era where AI can judge strikes ‘without error’, the next step is to redefine the concept of a ‘real strike’.

Since ABS calls a strike even if the strike zone passes by just 0.1cm, the mechanical application of the concept of a strike, ‘high zone corners’, confused players throughout the first half of the season.

Conceptually, a strike is considered a strike even if it only grazes the corners of the zone, but batters are pointing out that the very premise that a ‘pitch that the batter can attack’ should be a strike is being shaken.

With the introduction of ABS, a fair strike zone has been introduced for everyone, so discussions about ‘real strikes’ are expected to begin after this season ends.

A KBO office official stated, “There is talk about a high zone, but it is impossible to change it during the season.

We will go through the process of reviewing it ourselves after the season ends.”

The era of OTT viewing is in full swing… Social media views explode as a side effect

KBO’s decision to begin broadcasting both wired and wireless games through the video streaming (OTT) service TVING provided by CJ ENM starting this season is evaluated as a revolution that changed the landscape of the baseball industry itself.

Not only did the largest-ever 3-year, 135 billion won contract greatly help the team’s finances, but some say that freely accessing game videos on social media has laid the foundation for this year’s explosion in baseball popularity, opening the era of 10 million spectators for the first time ever.

Kiwoom’s Song Sung-moon, First All-Star in Life

Kiwoom’s Song Sung-moon, ‘First All-Star in Life’: “I’m Shy so I Might Look for a Mouse Hole”

Best performance since debut with 9 home runs and 57 RBIs with a batting average of 0.354

Among the Kiwoom Heroes players in the professional baseball league this season, the player who has grown the most is starting third baseman Song Seong-moon (27).

With only one game left in the first half of the season, Song Seong-moon is currently recording a batting average of 0.354 (96 hits in 271 at-bats), 9 home runs, 57 RBIs, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.937 in 78 games of the season.

During the season, he took on the captain’s armband and became a player who truly represents the team. 카지노사이트

Song Seong-moon, who was initially eliminated from the All-Star fan vote, was replaced when Lee Woo-seong (KIA Tigers) was unable to play in the All-Star game due to injury.

Song Seong-moon, who we met before the LG Twins game at Gocheok on the 3rd, said, “It’s a place I’ve always wanted to go to once while playing baseball, even though we’re going because of an injured player.

He said, ” I wanted to go this year with good results, and I’m so happy that I got this honorable opportunity.”

Based on his results alone, he was worthy of being chosen by fan vote, but he unfortunately lost in the third baseman category, which is full of strong hitters.

Song Seong-moon said, “At first, I was a little disappointed.

Still, I was convinced when I looked at the list.

There was national team third baseman Noh Si-hwan (Hanwha Eagles), and of course there was Kim Do-young (KIA).

It’s true that I’m getting good results, but I thought there was nothing I could do.”

Song Seong-moon is a player who brings energy to the team with his cheerful personality both on and off the field.

Kiwoom fans are looking forward to Song Seong-moon, who has given them much enjoyment outside of baseball, fully displaying his talents at the All-Star Game.

Song Seong-moon, however, said, “I’m very shy.

I’ve never been to the national team, and this is my first All-Star Game.

There are many good seniors there.

Just spending a day with them feels like a dream.”

Song Seong-moon added, “It’s so close that I haven’t prepared my performance yet.

I might just play one inning of defense and be done with it.

Rather than performing, I think I’ll spend my time asking my seniors and juniors about things I’ve been curious about.”

When told that he still looks forward to giving enjoyment to the fans, he said, “My MBTI is I (Introversion).

Argentina Coach: “Messi’s Participation in Copa Quarterfinals Uncertain… I Will do my Best”

Argentina national soccer team’s ‘captain’ Lionel Messi (37, Inter Miami) has not recovered from his injury, making it uncertain whether he will play in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Copa America (South American Football Championship).

At a press conference held at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, USA on the 4th (Korean time), a day before the quarterfinals match between Argentina and Ecuador.

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni said, “It is difficult to guarantee Messi’s participation in the match against Ecuador.”

“I will wait a few more hours today and then decide. 에볼루션 바카라사이트

The injury will get better with time.

Depending on the results today, I will decide whether Messi will play tomorrow, he said.”

Messi played full-time in both the first and second group matches, fulfilling the role of ‘ace’.

However, after the second match against Chile, he complained of discomfort in his right hamstring (the muscle at the back of the thigh) and withdrew from the lineup, and watched the third match from the bench.

Messi met with reporters after the Chile match and said, “My adductor muscles are stiff.

“It didn’t feel like it was breaking or tearing, but it was difficult to move freely,” he explained.

Ahead of the press conference that day, Messi was spotted training with his teammates at the training ground.

Coach Scaloni said, “I will do my best to make sure Lionel Messi can play in the game.

Even if I can’t play, I will find the best way for the team, he said.

“I will talk to Messi today.

We will allow Messi to train as much as possible,”” he said.”

Argentina, aiming for its 16th Copa America title, won all three matches against Canada, Chile, and Peru in the group stage and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Their opponent, Ecuador, advanced to the quarterfinals in second place in Group B.

They showed considerable performance, including a 3-1 crushing of Jamaica and a 0-0 draw with Central American powerhouse Mexico.

The quarterfinals between Argentina and Ecuador will kick off at 10 a.m. on the 5th.

Coach Scaloni did not let his guard down, saying, “Ecuador is one of the best teams in the Copa America and a team that can challenge for the championship.”

Meanwhile, Messi has yet to score a goal in this tournament. Messi, who is

tied for 7th place in the Copa America scoring rankings with 13 goals, needs four more goals to surpass Norberto Mendes (Argentina) and Zinho (Brazil) 17 goals and tied for first place.
