Women's Handball Captain Shin Eun-joo: "I Will Give It My All for Korea's First Win"
4th Olympics Ryu Eun-hee: "I will do my best in the Olympics that may be my last"
Since this is our first match as a Korean national team, we want to get off to a good start.
This is what Shin Eun-ju (Incheon City Hall), captain of the Korean women's national handball team, said upon leaving the country.
The Korean women's handball team, led by coach Henrik Signell (Sweden), departed for its second European training camp at Incheon International Airport on the 8th.
They will train in Spain and the Netherlands until the 19th and then head straight to Paris, France, where the Olympics will be held.
Shin Eun-joo, the captain of the team that has effectively made it to the Olympics, said, "I'm curious to see how much of what we've prepared will come out in actual games, and I'm excited about the departure." 파워볼사이트 추천
He said, "We want to get off to a good start as this is the first match for the Korean team," and "I feel a sense of responsibility that the Korean players will do their best and achieve better results."
The Korean women's handball team will play their first match against Germany on the 25th (local time), the day before the opening of the Paris Olympics.
The Korean team has matches scheduled for the 25th, including men's and women's archery and women's handball.
Since archery, which has more time, is a ranking round, handball is the first match where the winner is determined.
In particular, the Korean Women's Handball Team is considering the first and second matches against Germany on the 25th and Slovenia on the 28th as turning points for advancing to the quarterfinals.
Shin Eun-joo said, "We are evaluated as being inferior in terms of strength, but we plan to give it our all in the first and second matches," and added, "It's disappointing that handball is the only team sport participating in the Paris Olympics, but on the other hand, since this is our chance to receive the spotlight, I hope that it will become an opportunity for handball to become a popular sport in Korea."
The only European, Eun-Hee Ryu (Kyo-Ryeo, Hungary), is competing in her fourth Olympics.
Ryu Eun-hee, who recently enjoyed the joy of winning the European Handball Federation Champions League, said, "I was really happy and had a great time winning the Champions League, which was one of my bucket list items," and added, "I will do my best in the national team and share my experience with the players."
She also emphasized, "The results of the World Championships last year motivated me," and "I want to show a better performance by playing against the team I played against then."
Korea lost to Slovenia by 4 goals in the World Championships last December, and they will meet again at the Olympics.
Germany and Denmark, who were in the same group as Japan at the World Championships, won by 1 goal, 31-30, while Denmark lost to Japan 26-27.
If we do well, we can say that we have a chance at competing with Slovenia, Germany, and Denmark.
When I saw the results of the Olympic group formation (which included European powerhouses), I was like, 'What's going on?' said Ryu Eun-hee.
If I can just advance to the quarterfinals, the opposing group is relatively weak, so if I put in some effort in the quarterfinals, I can aim for the semifinals, she said positively.
She recently injured her left finger and came out wearing a brace that day.
It hurts right now, but I hope it won't affect the Olympics too much, she said.
It could be my last Olympics, so I'll show you a good performance on the court.
