The 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games (Paris Olympics) are about a month and a half away. The outline of each country’s national team’s advancement to the finals has been almost revealed. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to see the Korean national team perform well in ball games at this Olympics. This is because all male and female athletes failed to advance to the finals in soccer, basketball, volleyball, hockey, rugby, water polo, and basketball. In particular, the news that the men’s national soccer team lost in the quarterfinals of the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup and was unable to advance to the Olympics came as quite a shock.
But we still have a women’s national handball team. They earned a ticket to Paris early by winning the final Asian preliminary round in August last year, and even set a record of becoming the first Olympic team to advance to the finals 11 times in a row. From the 1984 LA Olympics.
So far, the women’s handball team’s record is 2 gold medals, 3 silver medals, and 1 bronze medal. Since the 2012 London Olympics, the medal streak has been cut off. This Olympics is also expected to be difficult as it is placed in Group A with Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, and Slovenia. Nevertheless, the national team is once again aiming for world handball supremacy. We are concentrating on training at the Jincheon Athletes’ Village from the 13th to the 2nd of next month, and later we plan to leave for Europe for training in Sweden.
Meanwhile, Ahn Se-young, world number one in women’s badminton, is also going to Paris. From the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, she is the one who captivated the world with her extraordinary skills and tenacity. The Olympic badminton team, led by Ahn Se-young, is truly the ‘strongest of all time’. However, Ahn Se-young suffered a sudden right knee injury during her last Asian Games women’s singles final. Afterwards, she showed signs of poor condition at various championships and competitions. She missed the semifinals of the World Women’s Team Championship (Uber Cup) on the 4th.
Amid worries and speculations about him, Ahn Se-young opened his mouth. According to Se-young Ahn, the pain in her injured patellar tendon did not go away even after the Asian Games, and she was diagnosed to have to take some time to get used to the pain. She said she is recovering and focusing on the Olympics. He remained resolute until the end, saying, “A lot of people are worried that the reason I’m not performing well in competitions these days is because of injuries, but I don’t want to blame injuries.”
There is now about a month left until the final confirmation of Olympic qualification. We support female athletes who will not stop challenging themselves until the end to advance to the world’s largest stage, such as Seo Chae-hyun and Kim Ja-in of sport climbing, and Yell of breaking, which was selected as a new event at the Paris Olympics.
