Husband Hunter Woodhall was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 46.36 seconds in the men’s 400m (sports grade T62) final at Stade de France in Paris, France on the 7th (Korea time).

Woodhall, who won the silver medal in the 200m (T44) and bronze in the 400m (T44) at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, won the bronze medal in the 400m (T62) at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Woodhall won her first gold medal at this event

After confirming his gold medal in the 400-meter race, Woodhall immediately ran to the stands and kissed his wife Tara Davis-Woodhall. It was the same ceremony as a month ago.

At the time, Hunter Woodhall congratulated his wife, saying, “You are the Olympic champion.” This time, his wife Tara Davis-Woodhall responded to her husband, saying, “My man has become the Paralympic champion.”

After the game, Hunter Woodhall told AFP news agency, “My wife wrote in a diary ‘I’m going to be an Olympic champion’ ahead of the Paris Olympics. I also wrote ‘I’m going to be a Paralympic champion’ in my diary and achieved my dream.”

“It created conditions for Kim Ki-hoon to follow.”

Left-hander Kim Ki-hoon (24) silenced Samsung’s batters, who had been relentless. Kia, which gained momentum to catch up thanks to Kim’s good pitching, further enhanced its chances of winning the regular season league title by sweeping two consecutive weekend matches against Samsung.

Kim took the mound as relief pitcher in an away game against Samsung held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday, and pitched three scoreless innings. Kim took the mound in the bottom of the fifth inning when his team was trailing 3-5 left-hander Eric Stout (five runs in four innings).

Kim Ki-hoon, who handled the top batters Kim Ji-chan, Kim Heon-gon, and Koo Ja-wook, allowed an infield hit to Lewin Diaz in the bottom of the sixth inning, but after clearing Park Byung-ho with a fly ball to left field, he induced Kang Min-ho to hit a double play to end the second inning.

KIA tied the game with home runs by Kim Do-young and Na Sung-bum in the top of the seventh inning, and Kim Ki-hoon managed Jeon Byung-woo, Kim Dong-jin, and Yang Yang-geun to complete three scoreless innings. KIA won 6-5 with Lee Woo-sung’s finishing hit in the top of the ninth inning.

KIA manager Lee Bum-ho praised after the game, “On the pitcher’s side, Kim Ki-hoon blocked the opponent’s batting line with just one hit while throwing three innings, creating conditions for him to follow.”

“I went up to the losing situation, and I thought I should pitch quickly and aggressively,” Kim Ki-hoon said. “I thought it was my role to reduce the fielders’ defense time and allow them to follow one point at a time.”

“I didn’t think I was throwing for a long time. I pitched as if every batter and every inning was the last,” he said. “That’s why I threw more aggressively, and I think I quickly set the count and won the game in my favor.” 메이저사이트

Kim Ki-hoon said, “Many fans came to the stadium today, and thanks to this, I was able to throw with energy without knowing that it was hot,” adding, “I will continue to play like today so that I can show good performances.”

Meanwhile, Kim Ki-hoon wore the KIA uniform as the first draft pick for the 2019 KBO Rookie Draft. He pitched in nine games before the game and posted an ERA of 3.00.

 

Notably, two promising pitchers are making a fuss this year. Jung Woo-joo of Jeon High School and Jung Hyun-woo of Deoksu High School are the main characters.

They have completely different charms. Jung Woo-joo possesses a talent that is endowed by heaven, who can easily throw fastballs in the mid-150km range with right-handedness. The first thing that baseball players see when picking a pitcher is by far the speed limit. They can learn and practice ball control, use breaking balls, and run games, but being able to throw fast is something they are born with.

On the contrary, Chung is a versatile left-hander. He is said to know how to throw 150 kilometers of fastballs, has many breaking balls, and has excellent game management capabilities.

If Jung Woo-joo is a player who has tremendous potential to win 20 games if he grows up well, Jung Hyun-woo can be understood as a talent who can become a stable 15-win pitcher within two to three years.

Kiwoom Heroes holds the first overall nomination this year in reverse order of last season’s performance.

Jung Woo-joo, who is considered the No. 1 overall draft pick, seemed almost certain to go to Kiwoom.

A prospect who is getting the most marks for his natural talent and potential to explode in the future.

Recently, however, the mood has become strange. There are talks about Chung’s possibility to become the top player. While young pitchers are growing, there may be a desire to properly organize young starters to match Ahn Woo-jin’s military service. Some say that Jung Woo-joo’s ball is fast, but it is right for him to be used as a finishing touch due to his style.

What is certain is that there is no disagreement that the two will share the first and second rankings. So, the bigger concern is which players will be selected after that.

The third is the Samsung Lions and the fourth is the Lotte Giants. Depending on the choices these two teams make, the teams’ choices are expected to fluctuate later.

Summarizing the on-site scouting stories, the candidates for the third and fourth rankings have been narrowed down to some extent. The main characters are Deoksu High School right-hander Kim Tae-hyung and Gwangju Jeil High School left-hander Kim Tae-hyun.

Although there are slightly different opinions than the first and second places, few scouts talk about these two players except for their names. If you are not a Kia-class fielder, your eyes are usually on pitchers first.

Right-hander Kim Tae-hyung is a promising player who has been recognized as a big pitcher early on.

The form is pretty, the 150km pitch is good, and it’s a flawless type.

Up until early this year, people said Kim Tae-hyun, the left-hander, was unstable. However, the stock price skyrocketed after the national competition, especially the Blue Dragon Open. Analysts say that Kim has left-hander advantage and that his ball movement is not comparable to that of high school students.

Of course, the third and fourth places have some variables. Samsung, which lacks fielders, may choose Deoksu High School batter Park Joon-soon or turn to left-hander Bae Chan-seung, a fireballer from Daegu High School. Then Lotte’s choice could be different.

The last one is the 13th Asian Youth Baseball Championship, which will be held in Taiwan early next month. Among the players mentioned above, all players except Kim Tae-hyun will participate. This is the last place for other first-round players to show off their skills. Here, there is room for the order of players who have impressive performances to change.

Lydia Ko (New Zealand), a female golfer better known to Korean fans as the “modern family daughter-in-law,” won the Olympic gold medal after her third attempt.

In the final fourth round of the women’s golf tournament at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which took place at Le Golf Nashonal (par 72) near Paris, France on the 10th (local time), Ko had four birdies, one bogey and one double bogey at 1-under 71. With this, Ko recorded 10-under 278 to beat 8-under 280 Ester Hanselight of Germany by two strokes to win the gold medal. She also filled one point that was not enough to join the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame with this gold medal, and was named in the Hall of Fame.

Ko won a silver medal in Rio 2016, her first attempt at the Olympics. She then won a bronze medal in Tokyo 2020. Winning gold, Ko became the first athlete to ever win gold, silver, and bronze medals in all three of her Olympic Games.

Ko, who was born in Korea in 1997 and moved to New Zealand at the age of four, made a splash by winning the NSW Open in Australia in 2012 when she was just 14 years old, and won the Canadian Women’s Open in August that year, becoming the youngest LPGA Tour winner. She became No. 1 in the world in 2015.

Lydia Ko is well known as the “daughter-in-law of the modern family.” She married Jeong Joon, the son of Hyundai Card Vice Chairman Chung Tae-young, in 2022. Vice Chairman Chung Tae-young visited the venue to cheer for her daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, South Korea’s Yang Hee-young ended the competition in fourth place and unfortunately failed to win a medal.

Japanese media are reporting that “Japanese fans are pouring out praise” for Shin Yu-bin’s actions after losing the women’s singles bronze medal match against Hayata in the women’s table tennis at the 2024 Paris Olympics on the 3rd (local time).

It is the first time in 20 years that a South Korean athlete has reached the semifinals of the Olympic table tennis singles since Kim Kyung-ah (bronze medal) and Yoo Seung Min (gold medal) at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

On the day, Shin Yu-bin (world No. 8) showed outstanding performance by playing a close game against Hayata, ranking 5th, but lost 2-4.

Hayata secured victory in a thrilling and hot race, and collapsed on the floor and shed tears. Shin stood still staring into the air for a while as if swallowing regret, but soon approached Hayata, gave her a warm hug and celebrated.

“I think Hayata was ahead of me in every aspect. I worked really hard and desperately,” Shin said in an interview after the game. “I wanted to acknowledge that. I also congratulated them with the desire to become stronger players.” “The medal winners deserve to be on the podium because they made greater efforts.”

Hiroko Fujii, a table tennis commentator who broadcasted the game, said, “I was able to get a glimpse of Shin Yu-bin’s human side by approaching (the winner) and talking to him, even though he is 20 years old, not only his comprehensive skills and skills, but also his fighting methods have become more profound than before.”

In Yahoo Japan, Japanese Internet users said, “I was touched that Shin Yu-bin congratulated Hayata with a smile. It’s amazing that we can compliment each other,” and “Shin Yu-bin, who hugged Hayata without showing any upset despite losing the game, is young but beautiful.”

Kang So-hwi (GS Caltex) and Lee So-young (Director Jeong), who were called “Soso sisters” when they played together for GS Caltex and won the 2020-2021 season together, have come to the free agent market. Not only will the FA market fluctuate greatly depending on the direction of the two players, but it is also expected to have a great impact on each club’s player selection in the Asian quarter tryout scheduled for the 1st of next month.

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) released the list of 18 female FA players who received FA status on Thursday. They can negotiate for 14 days from the date of the list’s disclosure to 6 p.m. on Saturday. In the V-League that applies the FA rating system, players who earn more than 100 million won a year will get A-grade, players who earn between 50 million won and 100 million won a year will get B-grade, and players who earn less than 50 million won a year will get C-grade. A team that has recruited A-grade players must pay 200 percent of the entire season’s salary, one compensating player other than six protected players, or 300 percent of the entire season’s annual salary to its original team. A team that has recruited B-grade and C-grade players only needs to pay compensation without compensating players. The compensation for B-grade players is 300 percent of the entire season’s annual salary, and 150 percent for C-grade players.

Lee So-young and Kang So-hwi are considered as the biggest players. Lee So-young was the first in the 2012-2013 rookie draft and Kang was the first in the 2015-2016 rookie draft. The two players collaborated in the 2020-2021 season with the “treble” of winning not only the regular V-League and the championship but also the KOVO Cup. The two players, who have a three-year gap, became FA after winning the championship. As Lee So-young, who became the second FA, changed into the uniform of the articles of association, and Kang chose to stay at GS Caltex, the “Saw So-Saw Sisters” were disbanded.

The two players, who are in their third year of joining the team, both qualified as free agents. Kang So-hwi is evaluated as having higher value among the two players. Kang is regarded as the second most valuable player among Korean players outside the V-League following Kim Yeon-koung. She ranks 12th in this category with 444 points this season, and 10th (39.30 percent) in overall offense. This is the second highest percentage of Korean players after Kim Yeon-koung, who ranks second (44.98 percent) overall in offense. She also boasts of strong defense. She ranks eighth overall with 37.02 percent receiving efficiency. When excluding Libero players, she ranks fourth. Digg also ranked ninth (3.297 per set) and seventh (5.703 per set) in defense.

The key to the contract is the size of the contract. The maximum compensation limit that can be received from the FA is 800 million. Kang may want to receive all 800 million won, but his team showed sluggish performance at 30.23 percent and 31.91 percent in the fifth and sixth rounds, respectively, at the end of this season. GS Caltex, which had been stably ranked third before the All-Star break, failed to participate in volleyball in the spring due largely to Kang’s poor performance. It is a point in which six other clubs, including the original GS Caltex, should bet up to 800 million won to secure Kang. Moreover, as in the case of Wipawi (Thailand), one of the biggest contributors to Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s integrated victory, if there is a growing view that foreign players in the Asian quarter who are relatively less expensive can replace the outside heater, it will not be easy to sign contracts with full compensation limits.

Lee showed off her presence by leading Jeonggwanjang’s first spring volleyball outing in seven years this season. Jeonggwanjang gained momentum as Lee So-young, an outside heater for both offense and defense, overcame the aftermath of injury and displayed proper performance. However, she failed to play a single game in the post season due to ruptured ankle ligaments at the end of the regular season. Lee’s contract amount will likely vary depending on how clubs evaluate her injury history.

Except for “Saw Saw Saw Sisters,” Jung Ji-yoon (Hyundai Engineering & Construction) is considered a big fish player. After becoming the first FA in his third year as an outside heater, Jung has a clear weakness in receiving, but his strength is his explosive attack. The offensive course was also limited to half-cross and cross-course, but he is expected to receive good reviews from the market as he also showed his attack on the straight course in the championship match against Heungkuk Life Insurance.

The Samsung Lions, who finished three consecutive home games against the Hanwha Eagles with the Winning Series, will face KT and Lotte, which are below the ranking table, in turn this week.

After winning two games in three consecutive weekend games first, starter Lee Ho-sung collapsed from the beginning of the game in the last three games, and Samsung, which failed to cross the wall of opponent starter Ryu Hyun-jin and lost 2-12, is in desperate need of a showdown victory against KT Wiz to turn the mood around.

As Won Tae-in, who was expected to play Sunday, starts for his team’s third consecutive win against KT with the lone lead in multiple wins, Won Tae-in’s long innings has emerged as a major point considering the recent anxiety in the bullpen.

As the opposing KT has one win and two losses and an average earned run of 6 points this season, Samsung is aiming for its second consecutive winning series with its first game victory.

Following three consecutive weekend home games against KT, ranked eighth among the 10 clubs this season, Samsung will move to Busan on the weekend to play three weekend games against Lotte Giants.

The league’s bottom-ranked Lotte, which widened its gap with ninth-ranked Hanwha by half a game with a draw against Doosan last Sunday, is set to face first-ranked KIA Tigers and second-ranked Samsung for a grueling six-game home series.

Samsung, which had its first showdown of the season and recorded its first three consecutive sweeps of the season against Lotte in Busan’s first three consecutive games, is determined to close the gap with the leading KIA with a good performance this weekend.

Daegu Culture Broadcasting will broadcast the first and second games of Samsung’s three-game series against KT this week, which is in desperate need of a multiplier to chase the lead, on the radio for two consecutive days from 6:30 p.m.

China’s referee Manning, who oversaw South Korea’s group stage match, will whistle in the 2023 AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Qatar Asian Cup Final.

Referee Manning played against Bahrain, Korea’s first group match at the Asian Cup. Starting with Park Yong-woo and Kim Min-jae, he showed yellow cards to Lee Ki-je, Son Heung-min and Cho Kyu-sung, and is known as a referee who generously provides cards.

Defender Kim Min-jae, who received a warning in the first group match, added a second warning in the quarterfinals against Australia, and was unable to play in the semifinal match against Jordan due to accumulated warnings. Suffering from defense instability, Korea had to end the tournament with a complete defeat of 0-2 by Jordan.

Chief referee Manning was in charge of the group stage match between Korea and Bahrain, the round of 16 between Qatar and Palestine, and the quarterfinals between Iran and Japan. After overusing five warnings to Korea and two warnings to Bahrain, he gave only three yellow cards to Palestine and two cards to Japan in the Iran-Japan match.

This infamous referee Manning will also whistle in the final of the Qatar Asian Cup, which will be played in a showdown between Jordan, Qatar and the two Middle Eastern teams.

However, Chinese media are full of praise. “The AFC has officially announced good news to the Chinese soccer community. It is reported that referee Manning will serve as the referee for the Asian Cup, which will be held on the first day of the Lunar New Year’s Day, while referee Fu Ming will serve as the VAR referee. It is the first time that a Chinese referee has served as the referee for the Asian Cup final. It will serve as an opportunity for China’s soccer referee to take a great step forward in the international arena,” he said with pride.

“Manning, his name is now the pride of Chinese soccer,” he said, adding, “Manning was highly recognized by the AFC Judgment Committee for his outstanding work ability and fair execution attitude. Under his leadership, the Chinese judges will have the opportunity to show off the glory and dignity of Chinese soccer on the Asian Cup final stage.”

Manning has been serving as an international referee for FIFA since 2011. He was active in the Chinese Super League since 2010, and this Asian Cup final is the biggest match of his referee career.

Among the shortstop who will become a FA after this season, Kim Ha-sung (San Diego Padres) and Willie Adames (Millywood Brewers) are considered “big fish.”
They are 28 years old, the same age. However, Adames has six years of experience in the Major League, which is larger than Kim Ha-sung, who has four years of experience.

His overall batting average is similar. Adames is 0.249 and Kim Ha-sung is 0.243.

Adames is paid 12 million dollars this year. Kim Ha-sung’s annual salary is 7 million dollars.

Last year, Adames had 24 home runs but only had a batting average of 0.217. Kim hit a career high with a batting average of 0.260 and 17 home runs.

The two players are being considered as candidates for recruitment by the Los Angeles Dodgers. They could be traded in the middle of this season.

Adames is off to a good start this season. He has a batting average of 0.278 with six home runs. Kim Ha-sung hit four home runs with 0.218.

MLBTR focused on Adames on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time).

Three free agents signed for the 29th season were introduced. Dansby Swanson signed a seven-year, $177 million contract with the Chicago Cubs, and Javier Báez signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Detroit Tigers. Trevor Story also signed a six-year, $140 million contract with the Boston Red Sox.

Adames can sign a contract on a similar scale to them.

Kim Ha-sung is expected to be at a similar level. However, his performance is not enough

In an away game against the Lotte Giants of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the afternoon of the 24th, Choi started as the third batter and third baseman, and hit a solo home run off the opponent team’s starting pitcher Lee In-bok with two outs in the top of the fifth inning. SSG beat Lotte 12-7 by banking on Choi Jeong’s home run.

With this homer, Choi Jeong recorded his 468th career homerun. He has become the most homerun by an individual in the KBO league history, surpassing the 467 homeruns recorded by Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop when he was an active player. Indeed, he has achieved an unprecedented milestone that no one else has achieved.

What’s more surprising is the current state of Choi Jeong. Choi Jeong already hit his 10th home run this season. He is ranking second in this season’s home run rankings. Now, SSG has played 27 games. Arithmetically, 50 home runs are possible this season.

Choi Jeong-eun is playing a 37-year-old season. Now every season is a challenge. There is no telling when his skills will suddenly drop. Home runs are really hard to hit, especially when they face a drop in skills. The number of home runs could drop sharply. There are only 32 left until 500 home runs, but this is why Choi Jeong cannot easily be optimistic about achieving 500 home runs.

However, chances are slim that Choi will suddenly experience a drop in performance in this season, which he has already started. Choi is rather displaying his heyday. If this continues, he will be close to or be able to achieve 500 home runs within this season.

If he approaches 500 home runs this season, he is expected to hit 500 home runs for the rest of his career, even if the aging curve comes to Choi Jung in the future. This is because SSG will consider Choi Jung, the best legend in the club’s history, and about 10 home runs are enough numbers for Choi Jung to record while continuing his rest of his career.

“I don’t think I’ll be able to hit 600 home runs. Still, I want to hit 500 home runs. I think I can do it enough. Now I want to continue my career with a bigger goal,” he said, expressing his aspiration and confidence to achieve 500 home runs.

Choi Jung, who has surpassed Lee Seung-yeop as the epitome of home runs, is only the beginning of his career. With his current skills, he can reach 500 home runs from now on. If lucky, he can achieve that goal again this season. Attention is focusing on whether Choi Jung, who stands tall as the most homeruns in the KBO League, will be able to achieve 500 home runs by maintaining his current skills.+
