Korean Badminton "Challenge for First Ever 3 Gold Medals or More at Paris Olympics"

The most gold medals in a single competition is 2… “It wouldn’t be surprising if anyone wins it”

Korean badminton is heralding a golden smash that it will wield at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Head coach Kim Hak-gyun said at a media day event held at the Jincheon Athletes' Village in Chungcheongbuk-do on the 25th, "We are preparing to achieve results that are unprecedented in the history of badminton."

Coach Kim emphasized, "There has never been more than two gold medals in the Olympics. 카지노사이트 추천

We are challenging that much," and "I don't know who will be (the main character), but the honor will go to our players."

The most gold medals won by Korean badminton in a single Olympic competition is two.

At the 1992 Barcelona Games, which was adopted as an official Olympic event, Park Joo-bong and Kim Moon-soo in men's doubles and Hwang Hye-young and Jung So-young in women's doubles won the championships, and at the 1996 Atlanta Games, Kim Dong-moon and Gil Young-ah in mixed doubles and Bang Soo-hyun in women's singles won gold medals.

Although there were no gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Games, the gold medal streak continued at the 2004 Athens Games and the 2008 Beijing Games.

However, from the 2012 London Games to the 2020 Tokyo Games, there were three consecutive 'no golds', with only one bronze medal.

The national team has enough confidence as it achieved good results at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year.

Korea won two gold medals (women's singles and women's team), two silver medals (men's doubles and women's doubles), and three bronze medals (women's doubles, mixed doubles, and men's team) at the Asian Games, which included team events.

It was the best performance since the 2002 Busan Games.

Coach Kim said, "The mindset now is different from the Asian Games.

There is more trust between the players and coaches than then, and the sense of purpose for the Olympics is more solid."

He also showed his trust in the players.

Coach Kim said, "The women's singles are ranked 1st in the world, and the rest (excluding the men's singles) are also in the top 10," and "All the players, including the men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, are gold medal candidates.

It wouldn't be strange if any player wins the gold medal."

As of today, Ahn Se-young is ranked first in the world in women's singles, and Seo Seung-jae and Kang Min-hyeok are ranked fourth in men's doubles. In women's doubles, Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na (2nd) and Kim So-young and Kong Hee-yong (7th), and in mixed doubles, Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yu-jeong (3rd) and Kim Won-ho and Jeong Na-eun (8th) are all in the top 10.
