Kim Yu-jin (Ulsan Metropolitan City Sports Council), a promising Taekwondo women’s 57kg weight class, obtained a ticket to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics after many twists and turns.
Kim Yu-jin defeated Cambodia’s Julie Mom with a round score of 2-0 (15-5, 12-1) in the semifinals of the Asian Trials for the Paris Olympics held in Tai’an, China on the 16th, and won the right to participate in the Olympics, which is given to the top two players in each weight class. 바카라사이트
Yu-jin Kim said through the Korea Taekwondo Association, “I am thrilled to have this precious opportunity that I worked so hard to get.
I still can’t believe it, but I will prepare well and show good skills at the Olympics.”
Korea secured three tickets to Paris based on the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) Olympic rankings: Taejun Park (Kyung Hee University) in the men’s 58kg class, Geonwoo Seo (Korea National Sport University) in the men’s 80kg class, and Lee Dabin (Seoul City Hall) in the women’s over 67kg class.
I won one more ticket through this selection contest.
Only countries that have won less than two qualifications for men and women can participate in the continental selection competition, and Korea participated in one weight class in the women’s division in accordance with the relevant regulations.
The Korea Taekwondo Association decided to challenge for the women’s 57kg Olympic ticket through an internal meeting last January, and decided on Kim Yu-jin as a participating athlete through a selection event in February.
