South Korean tennis prospect Kim Won-min (Andong City Sports Club) won the Asia Pacific Elite 14-year-old boys’ singles title at the Australian Open. “Kim Won-min defeated Takahiro Kawaguchi (JPN) 2-1 (2-6 6-3 6-4) in the boys’ singles final of the Asia Pacific Elite 14s at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, on June 26,” the Korea Tennis Association said on Monday.

Chu failed to make it past the first round of their special rules super-fight bout against Nicky Holzkorn (41, Netherlands) at ONE Championship 165 on April 28 at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan .It was agreed that the bout would feature one round of boxing, two rounds of Muay Thai, and three rounds of mixed martial arts.

With a judo background, it was important for Choo to overcome a relatively disadvantageous first round of boxing and second round of Muay Thai against Holzkorn, who specializes in stand-up striking.After a minute of exploratory striking in the first round, Choo closed the distance between them, but was dropped by a left hand punch from Holzkorn.

After exchanging punches, he tried to slow his opponent down with a clinch, but Holzkern slipped out of the way and planted his fist on Choo’s jaw. Barely getting to his feet, Choo was unable to withstand the pressure from Holzkorn and was promptly knocked down by a straight right hand. The referee didn’t bother with a count this time and immediately declared Holzkern the winner. Chu Sung-hoon, who won a second-round TKO over Shinya Aoki (JPN) in his ONE Championship bout in March 2022, was also unable to overcome the weight of time. Choo’s 스포츠토토존 mixed martial arts record now stands at 16-8.

Bobsledding hopeful Jaehwan Jaehwan (17, Sangji Gwanryong-go) has won the first medal in sledding in South Korea’s history at the Winter Youth Olympic Games.Jae-hwan won the gold medal in the men’s monobob (one-seater) bobsled event at the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games (Gangwon 2024) on Wednesday at the Alpensia Sliding Center in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, with a combined time of 1 minute, 48.63 seconds in the first and second runs.It was the second gold medal for the Korean athletes after Joo Jae-hee (Han AD) won the men’s short track 1,500 meters on Tuesday, the day the Gangwon 2024 Games began in earnest.Notably, Jae-hwan’s gold was the first medal won by South Korea in the sled disciplines (bobsleigh, skeleton and luge) at the fourth Winter Youth Olympic Games.It has been eight years since South Korea had a podium finisher in any snow sports discipline at the 2016 Games in Lillehammer, with Kim Magnus (2 golds, 1 silver) in cross-country and Jeong Jung-rim (bronze) in snowboard halfpipe.Jae-hwan also became the first Asian athlete to win a gold medal in sledding in the history of the Winter Youth Olympic Games.Jae-hwan is already on the adult national team and has been touted as one of the favorites to win the Games.He began his athletic career as a shot putter in track and field before switching to skeleton in his third year of middle school, and has progressed through several international competitions as his size, strength, and speed have been recognized.He went on a ‘golden run’ this season, winning five gold and three silver medals in eight appearances on the International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) Youth Series, with a ‘home track’ advantage.

After winning the first run in a personal best of 53.80 seconds, nearly a second ahead of second-placed Jonatang Lourimi (Tunisia – 54.79), Jaehwan finished the second run in 54.83 seconds, good for second overall, to seal the win.Jaehwan said: “I had a dominant first run, so I went into the second run thinking I could do it without any pressure. I’m happy to have achieved my first gold medal as a bobsledder, and next up is the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo. I’ll take it one step at a time.”Silver medalist Rurimi (1:49.96 total), who finished 1.33 seconds behind Jae-hwan, is a participant in the Winter Sports Athlete Development Program for Underdeveloped and Developing Countries, which has been organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, Pyeongchang County and sponsored by the Pyeongchang Memorial Foundation since 2020 to continue the legacy of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics.He was introduced to bobsledding through the program and, along with two other female bobsledders, became the first Tunisian athlete to compete in the Winter Olympics and won a medal.

It was only the second medal in bobsleigh for the program’s participants, after Thailand’s Campeol Agnes, who won silver in women’s monobob the day before.The bronze medal went to China’s Tsu Xiangyu (1:50.18).The Korean sled team added a bronze medal in the men’s skeleton event later in the day, bringing home two medals on the day after none in the previous three Winter Youth Olympic Games.Shin Yeon-soo, who, like Jae-hwan, attends Sangji Kwanryong High School, finished third in 1:46.05, behind Emils Indriksson (Latvia – 1:44.66) and Yaroslav Labreniuk (Ukraine – 1:45.67).Shin, a former sprinter who took up skeleton in 2021, was inspired to take up the sport after watching Yoon Sung-bin become the first Asian to win a gold medal in sledding at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.On the same track where Yoon made history six years earlier, Shin finished second overall in the first run with a time of 52.85 seconds, before clocking 53.20 슬롯게이밍 seconds in the second run.

Bobsleigh hopeful Jae-hwan Jae-hwan (17, Sangji Gwanryong-go) won the second gold medal for the Korean team at the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games (Gangwon 2024). Jae-hwan finished first in the men’s monobob (one-seater) bobsled race at the Gangwon 2024 at the Alpensia Sliding Center in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, on Wednesday with a combined time of 1 minute, 48.63 seconds in the first and second runs .Jae-hwan, who won his first medal as a Korean sledder (bobsled, skeleton and luge) at the fourth Winter Youth Olympic Games, became the second gold medalist for Team Korea after Joo Jae-hee (Han AD) won the men’s short track 1,500 meters on Tuesday .A former track and field shot putter who switched to skeleton in his third year of junior high school, Jae-hwan has become the next big thing on the international scene with his combination of strength and speed .He has competed in the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) Youth Series eight times this season, winning five gold and three silver medals, and used the momentum on his “home track” to turn the track golden.

The silver medalist in this event, Jonatang Lourimi (Tunisia – 1:49.96), is a legacy athlete from the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.Lourimi was first introduced to bobsled in 2020 as part of the Winter Sports Athlete Development Program for Underdeveloped and Developing Countries, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province and Pyeongchang County, and sponsored by the PyeongChang Memorial Foundation .Along with two female teammates, she became Tunisia’s first Winter Olympian to win a medal at Gangwon 2024.Thailand’s Campeol Agnes, who won silver in the women’s monobob the day before, is also an athlete from the Winter Sports for Underdeveloped and Developing Countries program, making the PyeongChang legend two days younger .There was more good news in the sled event. Shin Yeon-soo of Sangji Kwanryong High School won the bronze medal in the men’s skeleton with a time of 1 minute 46.05 seconds, behind Emils Indriksson (Latvia – 1:44.66) and Yaroslav Labreniuk (Ukraine – 1:45.67).The Korean luge relay team of Kim So-yoon (Shinmyung Girls’ High School), Kim Bo-geun, Bae Jae-sung (Sangjiji Gwanryong High School), and Kim Ha-yoon (Sariul Middle School) also finished in fourth place with a combined time of 2:32.910 at the PyeongChang Alpensia Sliding Center .Among the sled disciplines, luge has a shallow domestic presence, with no Korean athletes competing at the last three Winter Youth Olympic Games.

In the relay events, the women’s single, men’s single, and double events are run in the order of their combined times .Supported by Minho of the group SHINee, the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) Olympic Friends, who are in charge of promoting Gangwon 2024, our athletes raised hopes with performances that exceeded expectations. On the fourth day of the Gangwon 2024 Games, which kicked off on March 19 and began the medal race in earnest on March 20, we had our first three winners .France’s Antoine Guy, 17, took the podium in the men’s 7.5-kilometer sprint at the Alpensia Biathlon Center in Pyeongchang .Guy, who had already won gold in the men’s individual 12.5-kilometer and individual mixed relay, capped off the Games with his first Gangwon 2024 triple .On ice, women’s long-distance hopeful Lim Ri-won (16, Uijeongbu High School) finished sixth in the women’s 1,500 meters at Gangneung Speedskating Center in a time of 2 minutes, 6.28 seconds .Sprint specialist Jung Hee-dan (16-Sunsago), who won a silver medal in the women’s 500 meters the day before, finished 13th in 2:10.60.In the men’s 1,500 meters, Heo Seok (16, Uijeonggo) finished 10th in 1:55.78, while Shin Shin-woong (16, Byeol-nago), who won bronze in the men’s 500 meters the day before, was 16th in 1:58.52.Italy topped the overall standings with 11 medals, including seven golds, while South Korea finished fifth with two golds, two silvers 카지노사이트킹 and four bronzes.

After being inspired to take up skeleton by Yoon Sung-bin (retired) and mentored by Jeong Seung-ki (Gangwon Province), Shin Yeon-yeon (Sangjiji Kwanryong-go) made a name for herself as a ‘next-generation runner’ with a medal at the Winter Youth Olympic Games.”I was more burdened and nervous than I thought because I was competing in my country, but I’m very proud of myself for overcoming it and achieving a good result,” Shin told reporters after winning a bronze medal in the men’s skeleton event at the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games (Gangwon 2024) at the Alpensia Sliding Center in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, on Wednesday.Earlier in the day, Shin won bronze in the men’s skeleton at Gangwon 2024 with a time of 1 minute 46.05 seconds.

It was South Korea’s second medal of the Winter Youth Olympic Games in sledging and first in skeleton, following Jae-hwan Jae-hwan’s gold medal in the men’s monobike earlier in the day. “I was just excited before the competition because it’s like a festival. I came here with the idea of having fun, and today I tried to clear my mind, do what I was doing and focus on sliding, and I think the result followed.”Skeleton is a sport that Yoon Sung-bin made a name for himself in Pyeongchang, winning the first Asian gold medal in sledding, and Shin was inspired to pursue the sport after watching him.

A former sprinter, she left her hometown of Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, for Gangwon-do to pursue skeleton and enrolled in Sangji Kwanryong High School, which has a sled team.He was influenced by Yoon Sung-bin as a beginner, but for this competition, he was encouraged by the advice of Korean skeleton icon Jung Seung-ki, who succeeded Yoon. “I once asked him about a curve I was having trouble with or a question I had about maneuvering, and thanks to his advice, I was able to solve it with his help,” Shin said, emphasizing that he wants to become a great athlete like his brother.The fact that his classmate Jae-hwan Jae-hwan won the gold medal earlier in the day was an added incentive for him to push himself harder on the field.

The Korean bobsleigh (Jaehwan Jaehwan and Choi Si-yeon) and skeleton (Shin Yeon-yeon, Kim Yerim, and Jeong Ye-eun) representatives at the Games are all from the same class at Sangji Kwanryong High School.”When my friend won a medal first, I thought I should give it a try,” said Shin Yeon-soo, who expressed her gratitude for the support she received from her teammates, who encouraged her through tough training and gave her feedback.”I’ve been sledding for about three years now, and my parents came to watch me race for the first time today, and I thought about them a lot afterwards,” he added.”I’m really 200% satisfied with today’s race,” he said, but Shin’s run is just beginning.”From now on, I will continue to run so that I can win a medal from this national selection to the adult Olympics,” he smiled, “I still have a long way to go, so I 온라인카지노 will train harder and sled harder.”

The 1,802 athletes from 78 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) competing at the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games (hereafter referred to as Gangwon 2024) will not pay for room and board at the Gangneung Wonju University campus dormitory and Jeongseon Haiwon Athletes’ Village in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, where they will stay during the Games. The same is true for the Adult Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) pays for room and board for athletes at the Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games. The International Federation of University Sports (FISU), which organizes the Summer and Winter World University Games (Universiade), charges NOCs 70 euros (about $102,000) per athlete per day for room and board, according to the Korea Olympic Committee and the IOC.

NOCs also pay $50 ($67) per athlete per day for room and board in the athletes’ village at the Asian Games, which are organized by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA).Adult Olympic and Asian Games competitors stay in apartment-style villages, while Youth Olympic and Universiade athletes stay in traditional dormitories .According to the IOC’s website, the organization earned $7.6 billion ($10 trillion) in 2017-2021 from TV rights deals and Top Olympic Partner (TOP) marketing contracts with leading companies around the world.

The IOC announced that it spent $4.2 million (5.6 billion won) every day from 2017 to 2021 at a rate of 90 percent on the Olympics, athlete support, and the spread of the Olympic movement, and 10 percent on IOC operating expenses. The largest amount of money was distributed to the host countries of the adult Olympic Games, including the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics ($1.89 billion) and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics ($970 million). It also provided $64 million to the Buenos Aires 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games and $26 million to the Lausanne 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games. The majority of the funding goes to athletes’ accommodation and airfare The IOC will announce the amount of support for Gangwon 2024 after the Games. The IOC also allocates funding to sport-specific International Federations (IFs) and NOCs for each Summer and Winter 스포츠토토존 Olympic Games, which are staggered every two years.

Ha-seong Kim (28, San Diego Padres), who had the best time last season, begins preparations for the 2024 season in earnest. Ha-seong Kim will depart for the United States through Incheon International Airport on the 20th.An official from Ha-seong Kim said in a phone call on the 17th, “Ha-seong Kim will join the team’s spring camp after doing personal training in Los Angeles, California, USA. We have planned a training plan similar to last year. “Last year, Ha-seong Kim left for the United States on January 27, devoted himself to technical training with personal coach Won-jae Choi, and then joined the team’s spring camp. This year, we plan to move to the United States about a week earlier than last year to focus on technical training and then move to Peoria, Arizona, the spring camp site, early next month.

Ha-seong Kim will complete the exhibition game schedule starting on the 23rd of next month and then return to Korea with the team to play against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the official opening game of the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul from March 20th to 21st. It takes place .He has emerged as a starting infielder in the 2023 season .He appeared in 152 games and achieved outstanding results with a batting average of 0.260, 17 home runs, and 38 stolen bases .In particular, the league’s best defense stood out .He became the first Korean player to win the National League Utility Fielder Gold Glove Award.

However, after returning to Korea, Kim Ha-seong became the subject of gossip by engaging in a truth-fighting battle with junior baseball player Lim Hye-dong over suspicions of assault and blackmail .Ha-seong Kim, who recently finished investigating the accuser, is tightening his sneakers again .The 2024 season is the most important time in Kim Ha-seong’s baseball life Kim Ha-seong, who signed a 4+1 year contract with San Diego in 2020 for up to $39 million, is expected to qualify as a free agent (FA) without exercising the option if he continues his performance in the 2024 season .Local media estimates Kim Ha-seong’s current worth at more than $100 million (about 134.2 billion won).Depending on his performance in the 2024 season, 슬롯게이밍 Ha-seong Kim’s price may soar astronomically.

The captain of the professional baseball Doosan Bears for the 2024 season is infielder Yang Seok-hwan (32).A transfer student who joined the ‘next door’ LG Twins and then wore a Doosan uniform through a trade in 2021 is now wearing the Bears captain’s armband with 42 years of tradition.

Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop, who personally announced the new captain Yang Seok-hwan at the 42nd anniversary ceremony of Doosan’s founding on the 15th, said, “He is a bright player and a player who speaks well to his seniors. He is also an example to his juniors in terms of discipline and behavior that should be observed as a professional player. “He explained .He continued, “He is a player who has something to say to me as well. I hope this year’s Doosan becomes a team that can share everything without hesitation to become one team.” Both seniors and juniors welcome Yang Seok-hwan as captain.

While Heo Gyeong-min, who led the team as captain last year, is a player who shows ‘soft leadership,’ Yang Seok-hwan is the type of person who clearly draws the line between right and wrong, as coach Lee expected .Kim Jae-hwan, who is three years senior to Yang Seok-hwan, said of his junior who stayed on the team through a free agent (FA) contract, “Remaining on the team is a huge plus not only for me but for the entire Doosan. Just having such a hitter gives me and all the players energy.” “I accept it. I am grateful to the club owner for holding on to Yang Seok-hwan,” he said.

In addition, pitcher Kwak Bin said, “He is scary, but he has a strong sense of responsibility,” and added, “I think his actions are befitting of a captain. I think he is a good fit for the team.”Seok-Hwan Yang stayed at Doosan at the end of last year under the condition of receiving up to 7.8 billion won over 4+2 years.He spent most of his prime at Doosan, where his skills blossomed, and even took on the heavy responsibility of being captain in the first year of his contract.

Yang Seok-hwan said, “I signed a free agent contract and called the coach, and he asked me to take over as captain. The captaincy is originally held by the franchise, but I am now in my 4th year at Doosan. I thought it would be difficult to take over (as captain) here, but trust me and leave it to me. “Thank you for giving it to me,” he said .Regarding the fact that the coach and fellow players evaluated him as a ‘captain who says what he has to say,’ he laughed and said, “I usually say everything I want to say with the coach. There is nothing I can’t say. Since I also worked as a free agent, I think I can say it more comfortably.” Regarding former captain Heo Gyeong-min, he gave a warning to his juniors in advance, saying, “Kyung-min has a warm personality, but I have the opposite personality. So I’m a little worried about how my juniors will feel.”

Among players who served as captain, there are cases where individual performance declines due to more things to worry about both on and off the baseball field .However, Yang Seok-hwan emphasized, “If you take on the role of captain, there will be a lot of things to worry about, such as the internal mutual aid committee and the players’ association, but that should not be the reason for the decline in performance. Even if you may or may not 카지노사이트킹 do well this year, it does not mean that you can’t do it because you are the captain.”
