The Korea Football Association (KFA) is under pressure as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism intensifies an audit fueled by the ongoing An Se-young incident and increasing criticism of the appointment process for national team head coach Hong Myung-bo.

Now, with the ministry’s audit of the Badminton Korea Association underway, it seems that the KFA’s audit will also accelerate.

As of Tuesday, the ministry has completed a preliminary audit of the KFA and initiated a full-scale audit the day before. A team of 12 auditors will spend the next two to three weeks thoroughly examining the KFA’s operations, including the selection process for the national team head coach and the transparency of budget expenditures.

Previously, on June 15, the ministry announced 토토 its intention to audit the KFA in response to controversies surrounding the procedural legitimacy of Hong Myung-bo’s appointment.

The initial investigation revealed issues, leading to a formal audit starting on July 18. This included on-site audits at the KFA’s office, culminating in the current full investigation.

It is highly unusual for the government to directly audit individual sports associations, indicating the seriousness with which it views this matter.

In particular, the ministry has signaled a broader reform initiative across various sports associations, using the revelations surrounding the badminton star An Se-young as a catalyst for restructuring sports policies and practices in the post-Olympic period.

Olympic badminton champion An Se-young broke her long silence Friday, clarifying her recent criticism of the national badminton federation.

The 22-year-old gold medalist sparked controversy when she lashed out at her national team and the Badminton Korea Association (BKA) for their poor handling of her knee injury, and for outdated and inefficient operations, among other things, soon after winning the women’s singles event at the Paris Olympics on Aug. 5.

But she had not commented further on the situation.

“What I ultimately want to express is my hope for more flexibility in changing unreasonable but customary practices,” An wrote on her social media account.

An elaborated on her concerns regarding injury management, expressing disappointment with the support she received.

“I wanted flexible and efficient support tailored to each player’s specific situation and injury severity, as they all differ,” she said. “However, the reality I encountered was far from this, which greatly disappointed and saddened me. I deeply regret that there wasn’t someone who would listen to my concerns, rather than dismissing the issue with comments like ‘You’re not the only one’ or ‘You’re already receiving special treatment.'”

She injured her right knee during the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games final and hurt her ankle tendon in the pre-Olympic training camp this year.

The young athlete urged the BKA to take proactive action, saying, “I hope that the association officials, who now hold the key to change, will no longer turn a blind eye and take proactive action.

“I’m secretly hoping for a time to have an honest 스포츠 conversation about what I’ve experienced, rather than engaging in a blame game with the association.”

An’s initial comments sparked investigations by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee.

She addressed these bodies, requesting they “listen carefully to the athletes’ voices and ensure smooth communication between the association and players.”

But she once again apologized to fellow Korean athletes for stealing the spotlight away from them with her recent criticism of the national badminton federation.

“I’ve learned that while I’ve been focused solely on training and competition, I still lack the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges,” An said.

“I sincerely apologize to all the Korean Olympic team members, officials and the public for any concerns I may have caused.”

Unification Minister Kim Yung-ho on Friday called on North Korea to respond to South Korea’s offer for an official dialogue platform and resume suspended inter-Korean communication channels.

Kim made the call a day after President Yoon Suk Yeol proposed to North Korea the establishment of a working-level dialogue channel that can “take up any issue” in an address marking Liberation Day.

Yoon unveiled a vision for freedom-based unification with North Korea and pledged to expand the inflow of outside information into the North.

“As the president proposed the establishment of a dialogue channel between the two Koreas, (I) am calling on North Korea to accept it,” Kim told a 한국을 press briefing.

The minister said South Korea is open to discussing any topics, including North Korea’s denuclearization, humanitarian issues and inter-Korean exchanges.

“To this end, the inter-Korean liaison communication line and the military hotlines that North Korea unilaterally suspended should be resumed,” he said.

Yoon’s unification vision came in an update to the government’s unification formula unveiled in 1994 that calls for the pursuit of reconciliation and cooperation, the creation of a Korean commonwealth and the completion of a unified country. 

Despite the defeat, Moon Jung-hyun and Yoo Ki-sang, who were born in 2001, showed performance that made them look forward to the future.

The South Korean men’s basketball team lost 80-88 in the second warm-up match against the Japanese national team at Ariake Arena in Tokyo on the 7th. 메이저놀이터

Yoo Ki-sang, who started side by side on the day, played 33 minutes and 1 second and scored 17 points, including 5 3-pointers, and Moon Jung-hyun played 20 minutes and 24 seconds, showing good performance with 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

The first thing that caught my eye was organic image. Yoo Ki-sang, who is joining the national team for the first time this time, displayed bold attempts to shoot from the outside starting from the first game, and displayed three-point shooting from the first quarter with more confidence in the second game.

As Yoo Ki-sang already showed his shooting ability in the first game, Japanese players also defended against Yoo Ki-sang under pressure, but Yoo Ki-sang’s confidence was more than that.

Yoo Ki-sang also showed good performance in defense. Despite the gap, Yoo tried to block Japanese players’ scores by showing strong physical struggle, not like a player wearing the Taegeuk mark for the first time, and after blocking the opponent’s big man’s shot attempt at the end of the third quarter, he passed an accurate pass to Lee to assist him in dunking.

In addition, his performance was enough to threaten Japan, so that whenever Yoo Ki-sang made a three-point shot, the Japanese reporters said, “Next Korean shooter.”

Moon also showed his potential to be competitive in the international arena, although he lacked skills. “I wish I could grow like Doncic,” coach Ahn Jun-ho, whom he met on Thursday after the first leg, said of Moon. “I wish I could grow like Doncic. If I were the coach of my team, I would give Moon the same role as Doncic. He is a very versatile player.”

As coach Ahn said, Moon Jung-hyun drove the ball directly to the offensive court and played a bridge role in the promised pattern play, helping the team’s attack to go smoothly.

Moon also made a bold breakthrough against Jacobs Akira, who is 9 centimeters taller than himself, when his opponent brought Ha to the outside. He even completed a three-point play, which was a bonus.

The current national team is so young that Byun Jun-hyung, who was born in 1996, is the youngest. However, the duo Yoo Ki-sang and Moon Jung-hyun, who were born in 2001, played a central role, recording one win and one loss.

Many said that Korea was inferior in its objective performance, but it will return to Korea on the 8th with many achievements thanks to the young players’ performance. Let’s look forward to Yoo Ki-sang and Moon Jung-hyun, who will grow further and become the future of the national team.

NBA superstar Yannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Brewers joined the list of world stars of the Paris Olympics. Greece, Antetokounmpo’s home country, will join the Olympics for the first time in 16 years.

Antetokounmpo-led Greece defeated Croatia 80-69 in the final round of men’s basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics in Piraeus, Greece, on Thursday. That gave Greece a dramatic flight to Paris, securing a ticket to the Olympic finals, which had only one ticket hanging for Greece’s regional qualifiers.

It is the first time in 16 years that Greece has advanced to the Olympic finals since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Greece defeated Luka Doncic’s Slovenia on the previous day and Croatia, which was classified as an ambush, to take the last train to the Olympics.

Greece’s advance to the Olympics was led by superstar Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo played 28 minutes and 28 seconds in the match against Croatia on Saturday, scoring 23 points and eight rebounds, leading Greece to victory. 파워볼사이트

Antetokounmpo became one of the world’s best players as he was named the MVP of the NBA regular league for two consecutive years in 2019 and 2020. In particular, he won the championship by putting the Milwaukee Bucks at the top of the championship game in the 2020-21 season.

Antetokounmpo, however, failed to perform properly in the NBA Playoffs due to a calf injury. After recovering from the injury, he became the MVP of the qualifying round in Greece.

In addition to Greece, Georgios Papayanis exploded with 19 points, including four 3-pointers, and Nick Calátez scored 14 points to help.

Croatia’s Ivica Zubaci (LA Clippers) worked hard with 19 points and 12 rebounds, but the Olympic finals for the second consecutive tournament failed following the Tokyo Olympics 2021.

The finals for men’s basketball at the Olympics have also been decided. Twelve teams, including defending champions the U.S., Germany, Serbia, Japan, Australia, Canada, South Sudan, Spain, Brazil, Puerto Rico and Greece, have been on the stage.

On July 2, Hanyang University captured Sungkyunkwan University in the enemy territory. Hanyang University’s players had a higher willingness to win, and that turned out to be the difference in activity. Hanyang University, which has a shorter average height, had 21 more rebounds (51-30) than Sungkyunkwan University. Kim Sun-woo, a 175-centimeter-tall short guard, also had five offensives rebounds. When it comes to long rebounds, will is more important than height.

This year, Kim ranks first in his team in terms of time spent in games. Despite his small stature, he ranks third in rebounding, No. 1 in assists, and No. 2 in steals. All indicators of offense including scoring have decreased compared to last year. However, we cannot let Lee’s energy, which cannot be converted into numbers, remain on the bench. We also have high expectations for his shooting sense from last season when he recorded 43.2 percent of three-point shooting success rate.

Shin Ji-won is the guardian deity of Hanyang University. There are no replacements. Ryu Jeong-ryeol, who is 207 cm tall, is accumulating experience, but he still needs time and experience. Shin averaged a double-double in the first half with 14.3 points and 11 rebounds. He is third in the league in rebounds. His average score is second in the team and 14th in the league. His total score is first in the team and ninth in the league. 동행복권파워볼

Shin Ji-won, a senior this year, has averaged more than 20 minutes since he was a freshman. His records are steadily rising, averaging 7.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in 2022 and 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in 2023. This season, he has become more mature in his finishing concentration and has risen to the ranks of the top big men in college, and Shin Ji-won’s growth is raising Hanyang University’s chances of making the playoffs for the second consecutive year.

The U.S. national basketball team, which is eying for the gold medal, will meet with Serbia, where Nikola Jokic will play, in the group stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Japan has teamed up with Germany and France. 토토사이트 추천

The final round of the 2024 Paris Olympics qualifying tournament (OQT) has been completed in Greece, Latvia and Puerto Rico on Sunday. Brazil beat Latvia 94-69, confirming its advance to the Olympics. Brazil is now in a group with host countries France, Germany and Japan in Group B.

Greece then beat Croatia 80-69. Greece, where Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing, has confirmed its advance to the Olympic finals for the first time in 16 years since 2008. Antetokounmpo was named the MVP of the OQT tournament held in Greece. He scored 23 points and eight rebounds in the final, and scored 22.5 points on average in the competition. Greece was in Group A with Australia, Canada, and Spain.

Lastly, Puerto Rico defeated Lithuania 79-68. It is the first time for Puerto Rico to participate in the Olympics since 2004. Jose Alvarado of the New Orleans Pelicans led the team with 23 points and six rebounds. Puerto Rico, which belongs to Group C, was also grouped with Serbia, the U.S., and South Sudan in Group C.

Basketball fans are paying attention to the U.S. national team. Led by Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Kevin Durant (Pinix Sons) and Stephen Curry (Golden State) have been named. Other big man players such as Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), Anthony Davis (LA), and Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat) are also in good shape. Jason Tatum and Zru Halladay of the Boston Celtics were also picked for the 2023-24 season.

The U.S. has already won four consecutive Olympics. Strong competitors are Canada and France. The team ranked fourth in the 2024 FIBA Basketball World Cup, but it plans to have a large number of star players participate in the Olympics.

The U.S. will meet Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico in turn. The first and second place in each group will head to the tournament, and two more teams with good performance among the third place teams will rise.

The performance of future resources is also necessary for LG. 토토사이트 모음

Changwon LG also advanced to the semifinal playoff in the 2023-2024 season. It also won the semifinal playoff series for the first time in nine years since the 2014-2015 season. It had two wins and two losses through the fourth game against its opponent Suwon KT. It had its final match at its home turf. However, it failed to surpass the firepower of Paris Bath (200 centimeters, F). It collapsed in front of the championship game once again.

After experiencing bitter taste in the semifinal, LG reorganized its squad. It sent key veterans Lee Jae-do (180 cm, G) and Lee Kwan-hee (191 cm, G) to the Goyang Sono and Wonju DB, respectively, and received Doo Kyung-min (183 cm, G) and Jeon Sung-hyun (188 cm, F) from the DB and Sono, respectively.

Heo Il-young (195cm, F) and Jang Min-guk (199cm, F) were newly acquired, and Choi Jin-soo (202cm, F) was also brought in as a trade. Asian quarter player and two-option foreign player were also replaced. The targets are Carl Tamayo (202cm, C) and Daryl Monroe (196cm, F).

The reason LG reorganized its team is to increase its competitiveness in the playoffs. “I felt a lot through the last playoff and championship game. When talented players are united altruistically, a team’s destructive power changes,” LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, stressing its “big competence in games.”

However, LG does not just focus on the immediate future. It is focusing on the future. “Young players, such as Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-ki, should grow up well. The same goes for Yang Hong-seok, who will return from the military. These players are the future of LG. The coaching staff should make efforts to help them grow up well,” LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said, reflecting on their “future resources.”

Yang Hong-seok (195 cm, F) has been assigned to the military after the end of the 2023-2024 season, and Yang Joon-seok (181 cm, G) and Yoo Ki-sang (188 cm, G) have to play a lot during the 2024-2025 season. First, Yang joined LG as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 KBL Domestic Rookie Draft. Despite injuring his anterior cruciate ligament during the college league, he received high praise.

Yang’s strengths are ‘managing the game’ and ‘carrying the ball.’ He is commonly referred to as the ‘orthodox point guard.’ LG manager Cho Sang-hyun also acknowledged Yang’s capabilities, saying, “He knows how to spray passes. In particular, when he hits fast after succeeding in defense, (Yang) gives good passes.”

And Yoo Ki-sang wore the LG uniform as the third overall pick in the 2023 KBL International Rookie Draft. Yoo, who boasts three points and shooting, received the Rookie of the Year award in the 2023-2024 season. He also participated in the warm-up match against Japan, which was held on the 5th and 7th. He also showed three points and defense in the warm-up match.

“He has potential as a shooter. He knows how to play his part in big games. He has improved his defense capabilities,” LG manager Cho Sang-hyun said in a positive light.

However, Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang have not been reborn as the true future of LG. Only when both players take one step further can LG leave their future to them.

LG manager Cho Sang-hyun also said, “(Yang) needs to develop his physical and shooting skills. He needs to be a bit more aggressive. If Yoo and Yoo are in the same mood, he needs to have a faster shooting timing. We are sure of their strengths, but their tasks are also clear,” adding, “We paid more attention to their potential for development.

Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang have teamed up since their days at Yonsei University. When the two players played together, there was a great synergy effect between them. Yonsei was also able to dominate the college stage in 2020 and 2021.

Those two players are considered the future of LG. But, as I said earlier, they should not stay in the future. They should move to ‘immediate power loss’ or ‘power augmentation resources’. If they cannot move on, LG cannot look to the future. Therefore, the LG coaching staff is paying considerable attention to Yang Joon-seok and Yoo Ki-sang.

The Korea Basketball Association will hold the “Inje 2024 National Youth Basketball Competition” in Inje-gun, Gangwon-do from August 8 to 11. The competition is hosted by the Korea Basketball Association and organized by the Inje County Basketball Association, and will be sponsored and sponsored by Inje County, Inje County Council, Inje County Sports Council, IS Dongseo, KB Kookmin Bank, Prospecs, Yuhan Bank, Jesspa and Molten Korea.

The Haneul Inje 2024 National Youth Basketball Competition is the largest youth competition in the country, and it aims to revitalize Korean youth club basketball and expand the base of local basketball. 138 teams from 14 types of men and women participate, covering all ages from elementary to high school. However, participation in the same club (school) per type is limited to two teams.

Therefore, registration of players and application for participation are also possible through the integrated game information system.

In addition, the association plans to provide 120,000 won worth of Inje-gun gift certificates that can be used like cash in Inje-gun to teams participating in the tournament this year following last year, and plans to prepare various products to give joy to young basketball dreamers participating in the tournament.

The Sacramento Kings acquired Derma DeRozan on Wednesday. Sainen sent Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs in a trade format and Chris Duarte to the Chicago Bulls for a second-round pick.

With DeRozan’s recruitment, Sacramento has built a strong lineup. DeRozan has joined the ranks of De’Aaron Pax and Domantas Sabonis. He even has a lot of talent, including Keegan Murray, Kevin Hudder, and Malik Monk. With DeRozan’s recruitment, Sacramento is now in a position to pursue the Western Conference throne, 실시간 바카라사이트

Most fans’ eyes are welcoming DeRozan. Sacramento’s weakness in the 2023-2024 season was the absence of a player to release him from the offense when the Parks were blocked. Originally, the role was down to Monk, but he lost power due to an injury at the end of the season.

DeRozan averaged 24 points and 5.3 assists during the 2023-2024 season. Calmly, he is a different level from Monk. DeRozan is not an assistant to the Pax, but can form a one-two punch with the Pax. Also, because Monk has renewed his contract, Sacramento’s offense will become more colorful.

Experts, however, viewed DeRozan as pessimistic. CBS Sports, a U.S.-based media outlet, released its rating on DeRozan on Wednesday. Sacramento received D-, San Antonio received A+ and Chicago C. Sacramento received the lowest score.

DeRozan is a veteran player born in 1989. In order to recruit DeRozan, DeRozan even lost the right to draft picks, including Barnes and Duarte. DeRozan is also a player who has long balls and is weak in three points. Sacramento already has many players who have long balls, including Pax, Sabonis and Monk. It is questionable whether there will be a major upgrade in offense. DeRozan’s defense is close to the worst. “CBS Sports” said, “We need to sacrifice for DeRozan. Is there a reason?”

On the other hand, DeRozan is a famous steel king in the NBA and is an injury-free player. This will help Sacramento, which suffered from injuries to Hudders and Monk at the end of the season. He also added a positive point, saying that the gap between the injury-prone Parks could be fierce to some extent.

This makes sense. DeRozan is a quality player, but he is an old man in his mid-30s. Sacramento’s team color is young and fast attack basketball. It is true that it is offensive basketball, but fast basketball does not go well with DeRozan.

Perhaps the biggest problem is defense. Barnes went out and DeRozan came in, and Barnes is not as good a defense as he used to be due to aging, but he is also an above-average defender. On the other hand, DeRozan is one of the NBA’s worst defenders. Pax and Sabonis’ defenses are not good, so players like Murray and Keon Ellis are more likely to struggle. Sacramento’s defense in the 2023-2024 season was below average. Under those circumstances, Barnes went out and DeRozan joined.

Sacramento coach Mike Braun is well-known for placing importance on defense. The key to this is whether DeRozan can be incorporated into Sacramento’s basketball team.
