Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Yoo In-chon and Second Vice Minister Jang Mi-ran visited the National Athletes’ Village in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province on the morning of the 22nd and encouraged national athletes preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
After receiving a report on the Korean Sports Council’s preparations for the Paris Olympics, Minister Yoo and Vice Minister Jang, a former weightlifting Olympic gold medalist, visited the Jincheon Athletes’ Village indoor shooting range, weightlifting training range, sports climbing training range, and rugby training range to inspect the facilities and cheer on the athletes.
Next, we met with leaders of sports participating in the Paris Olympics, including badminton and fencing, and heard various on-site opinions, including suggestions and ways to improve the national team’s performance.
Vice Minister Jang generously shared his experiences, including his mindset and conditioning methods before the Olympics, with his juniors.
Minister Yoo and Vice Minister Jang prepared a coffee truck to boost the morale of the national team players and delivered coffee directly to the players after lunch, urging them to do well.
Minister Yoo promised, “As a considerable amount of time has passed since the completion of the first phase of the Jincheon Athletes’ Village in 2011, we will improve the training environment by ensuring that the training facility renovation budget is reflected in next year’s budget.”
He continued, “The number of athletes participating in the Paris Olympics has decreased significantly and there are great concerns about their performance, but we believe that the athletes will perform a miracle in Paris.” He added, “The government will actively support the national team’s efforts to ensure that they lead to good results at the Paris Olympics.” .
