Mixed Rifle Park Ha-jun "Hyo-jin is Strong in the Finals" and Ban Hyo-jin "Experienced Older Brother"
Korean athletes prepare for 10m air rifle mixed team sortie for first medal.
The first sport in which the South Korean team can win a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics is shooting.
After the opening ceremony on the afternoon of the 26th (local time), the 10m air rifle mixed event preliminary and finals will be held in a breathtaking manner on the morning of the 27th.
Our shooting team has formed two mixed teams with Park Ha-jun (KT) - Ban Hyo-jin (Daegu Physical Education High School) and Choi Dae-han (Gyeongnam University) - Geum Ji-hyun (Gyeonggi Provincial Office).
The final players who will compete in the Olympic air rifle mixed team event are flexible. 바카라사이트 Depending on the player ranking points, only one team can be allocated to Korea, and in this case, both Ban Hyo-jin and Geum Ji-hyun can be paired with Park Ha-jun, the male player with the most ranking points.
For now, assuming that both teams can compete, Park Ha-jun and Ban Hyo-jin and Choi Dae-geum Ji-hyun are working together to prepare for the mixed match.
Among them, the Park Ha-jun-Ban Hyo-jin pair is the players who passed the national team selection in first place.
Park Ha-jun is a medalist who won silver medals in the men's 10m air rifle individual and team events and bronze medal in the 10m air rifle mixed team event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held last year.
Born in 2007, Ban Hyo-jin, the youngest member of the shooting national team, is a rising star in women's shooting who, contrary to everyone's expectations, took first place in the national team selection.
She started shooting for the first time in 2021, the year of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and her rapid growth stands out, having earned her Olympic ticket in just three years.
Park Ha-jun, whom we met after the Paris Olympic shooting national team departure ceremony held at Olympic Parktel in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 2nd, said, "I think I can do at least one person's share, even if I can't do it. He expressed his confidence by saying, "I think we can win a medal if we follow along well."
He continued, "I taught Ban Hyo-jin the know-how to shoot quickly.
The method is simple.
Just load quickly and shoot.
Concentration is always controlled, so you just have to act quickly."
In the mixed air rifle event, the male and female athletes each have to shoot 30 rounds in 30 minutes.
Since they have to shoot faster than in the individual event, it is essential to manage the game with a sense of speed.
Ban Hyo-jin said, "Right now, I practice shooting 30 shots in 30 minutes the most."
