With the Tokyo Olympics turning around, Korea’s sixth gold medal came out.
Shin Jae-hwan, the world’s No. 1 athlete in the vault, has won the Olympics for the first time in 9 years since Hak-seon Yang in London in 2012, and the second in Korean gymnastics history.
Tokyo Olympics, here and there, let’s connect reporters, reporter Jo Eun-ji!

Can you see Tokyo Tower in the background?
Let’s start with the news of Shin Jae-hwan’s medal.

Yes, the gymnasium is a high-demand game and is a popular game, so there is no audience, but reporters can also enter through lottery.
I also watched the game on TV in the city, and Shin Jae-hwan, the national gymnast, won the gold medal in the vault.
Doma jumps twice and averages the score. Shin Jae-hwan used Yonekura, a 6.0-point difficulty, and a 5.6-point female 2 skill that he tried in the preliminary round.
The technical difficulty score was the highest among the eight finalists, so how much error-free landing was, that was the ‘variable’ of the medal color, and Shin Jae-hwan showed off his skills without any surprises.
Although it was called a ‘secret weapon’, Shin Jae-hwan was the ‘0th gold medalist’, which was already verified as No. 1 in the cutting board world ranking.
Shin Jae-hwan became the second Olympic gold medalist in Korean gymnastics history, 9 years after Yang Hak-seon, who won a gold medal in this event at the 2012 London Olympics.
‘Yang Hak-seon Kids’, who had a dream after seeing the ‘God of Cutting Board’ Yang Hak-seon, took over Tokyo.
Our gymnastics continued the incline with Shin Jae-hwan’s gold medal, after Yeoh-jeong Lee won the vault medal yesterday and became the ‘Women’s Olympic medalist’ following her father, Hong-cheol Yeo.

The ‘Bronze Medal of Tears’ also came out today, can you tell us about the women’s doubles badminton match between our players?
[기자]
Yes, because we were competing with each other, we reserved the bronze medal early, and we had a bout to see who would win.
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong were placed on the podium after beating Lee So-hee and Shin Seung-chan 2-0.
The four players who ate together at the athletes’ village played a cool game with the net in between, but after the match, they hugged each other and cried a lot.
It was a mixture of happy and sorry, congratulatory and sad, all mixed feelings, leaving the impression that it was a ‘brutal match’.
He was also victorious in table tennis.
The men’s national team, composed of Lee Sang-soo, Jung Young-sik, and Jang Woo-jin, advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Brazil 3-0 in the quarterfinals of the team event.
At 2:30 pm the next day, the winner of the China-France match will compete for the final. If we win one more time, we will win the Olympic medal in table tennis after 9 years.
In the morning, Shin Yu-bin, Jeon Ji-hee, and Choi Hyo-joo’s women’s team also defeated Poland and advanced to the quarterfinals of the team event.
In the first doubles played by Shin Yu-bin and Choi Hyo-joo, the veteran Partica, known as a ‘one-armed player’, shined brightly, and after a tight match, they got a precious victory.
Tomorrow at 10 a.m., Germany will face off against Germany in the quarterfinals.
Until now, this is YTN Cho Eun-ji from Tokyo, Japan.
