“This is a competition that makes good use of the legacy of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics,” and “6 years ago,

“I was very moved by the youth athletes playing in the facility where the Olympics were held,” he said.

In particular, in the bobsled monobob (single-man), Tunisian and Thai athletes,

who grew into Winter Olympic athletes through the Dream Program,

Pyeongchang’s ‘soft legacy’, won men’s and women’s silver medals, respectively, and Chairman Bach said,

“The Pyeongchang Olympics opened a ‘new horizon.’

“Thanks to this, 14 people who went through the Dream Program participated in Gangwon 2024,

providing special solidarity to the whole world,” he said.

The Dream Program began in 2004 as a pledge to host the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics,

hosted by the 2018 Pyeongchang Memorial Foundation and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province.

Many of the athletes who participated in the project,

which was designed to provide experience and training programs such as skiing and skating to youth in developing countries who have difficulty accessing winter sports and to promote cultural exchange and global friendship through sports,

grew up to be gifted winter sports in each country.

Chairman Bach also said, “In order to make this event a success,

the IOC also provided the Gangwon 2024 Organizing Committee with $37 million (approximately 493 million USD),

including $25 million in operating funds,

$10 million in lodging expenses for athletes, and $2 million in subsidies.

“(hundreds of millions of won) was provided,” he said.

He continued, “As of the 28th of last month, 30% of Koreans watched Gangwon 2024 on TV, and 75% were aware of Gangwon 2024.”

He added, “Millions of people in the United States also watched the Olympics on NBC and mentioned Gangwon 2024 on social platforms.

“It showed amazing results,” he said.

Chairman Bach added that the number of times Gangwon 2024 is mentioned on social platforms such as social networking services (SNS) is 250 million, which is unprecedented for a youth Olympics.

Chairman Bach said he would actively utilize the broadcasting technology and new platform tested at Gangwon 2024 for the Paris Summer Olympics in July.

Lastly, Chairman Bach said, “The athletes and the Olympic family feel great satisfaction from Gangwon 2024.

If the participating athletes use this competition as a stepping stone to participate in the Adult Olympics, they will not be intimidated and will receive great help in preparing for the competition.”

Accordingly, there is no separate order for handing over the Olympic flag to the next host country at the closing ceremony on the 1st.

Chairman Bach, who was very impressed by the volunteers’ hospitality,

presented the volunteers with a specially made IOC badge with the Olympic rings in the shape of a heart as he left MMC and took a picture with them.

The 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics (hereinafter referred to as Gangwon 2024) hit a home run at the box office.

The figure skating competition held for four days starting on the 27th saw an average of 12,000 people visit the stadium each day,

and many spectators visited ice hockey, curling, ski jumping, and alpine skiing competitions despite the cold weather,

the organizing committee added.

President Kim said, “Based on the legacy of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics,

we did not build a single competition facility and 100% recycled existing facilities,” adding,

“The organizing committee spent 3.5% of the budget (KRW 2.789 trillion) for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.”

“The competition was held with a budget of only 96.7 billion won,” he said.

At Gangwon 2024, 1,800 athletes from 78 countries around the world competed in 7 games, 15 events, and 81 specific events.

In particular, the organizing committee explained that it has become a truly global sporting event in name and reality as athletes from countries on the African continent such as Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa,

as well as countries in the Middle East such as Iran, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, which is at war, and the Philippines,

where it does not snow, are participating.

The Gangwon 2024 Organizing Committee evaluated that 1,900 security, police, and fire personnel supported the event to ensure a safe event,

and that 1,984 volunteers who helped participants in various places,

including the stadium and athletes’ village, were the unsung contributors.

especially thanked the volunteers, saying, “Your endless energy and passion,

your smiles and kindness warmed my heart,” adding,

“The athletes and the Olympic family felt all of this together while staying in Gangwon Province.”

were run in keeping with the name of the Cultural Olympics,

and that Korea became the country to successfully host the Youth Olympics following the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Attention Jo Jin-seok, the tallest person at 216 cm Men’s volleyball rookie draft held on the 30th

Cho Jin-seok, who participated in the 2023 Mungyeong-Beon Patty Burn International University Volleyball Tournament

Cho Jin-seok

(21, Kyung Hee University), the ‘tallest Korean volleyball player ever’ with a height of 216 cm, is knocking on the door of the Korean Professional Volleyball V-League.

The Korea Volleyball Federation (KOVO) will hold the V-League 2023-2024 male rookie player draft at the Mayfield Hotel in Gangseo-gu, Seoul at 2 p.m. on the 30th.

A total of 42 people submitted applications, including 38 college students, including those scheduled to graduate, 3 students scheduled to graduate from high school, and 1 member of the business team.

The player drawing the most attention is Jin-seok Cho, a middle blocker in his third year at Kyung Hee University.

At 216 centimeters, Cho Jin-seok is the tallest player in Korean volleyball history, 5 centimeters taller than Kim Eun-seop (retired) at 211 centimeters.

He is also 11 centimeters taller than Park Jun-hyuk (205 cm-Hyundai

Capital), who is currently the tallest player in the V-League.

Cho started playing volleyball in the fourth grade at Suncheon Daesok

Elementary School and has been a middle blocker ever since.

Although he is said to be “still lacking in athleticism and strength,” he was

born with a “height” that no competent coach could give him.

That’s why many experts expect him to be a “top pick.

Suseong High outside hitter Yoon Seo-jin (18, 195.5 centimeters) is

another player that professional teams are eyeing.

Yoon captained the national team at the 2023 FIVB Under-19 World

Championship in August, helping South Korea to its third-place finish in 30 years.

KU outside hitter Lee Yoon-soo (20, 197.1 cm) and middle blocker Yang Soo-hyun (21, 200 cm) are also in the running for the top spot.

Hanyang University outside hitter Bang Jun-ho

(21, 194.6 centimeters), the son of 48th Olympic Committee member Bang Shin-bong, who was known as “Spider Hand” during his playing days, is also waiting to be selected by a professional team.

2023-2024 KOVO Men’s Rookie Draft Emblem

The order of the draft picks will be determined by a lottery with 35% for

Samsung Fire, 30% for KB Insurance, 20% for OK Financial Group, 8%

for Woori Card, 4% for KEPCO, 2% for Hyundai Capital, and 1% for

Korean Air, in reverse order of last season’s final standings.

Samsung Fire traded its 2024-2025 first-round rookie pick to Korean Air

in exchange for Son Hyun-jong and a 2023-2024 first-round rookie pick,

giving the team the right to use Korean Air’s first-round pick in the rookie draft.

KB Insurance received Woori Card’s second-round rookie pick in a

December 2021 trade, allowing them to select a player twice in the second round of this draft.

The team selecting the rookie must sign a contract and register the player with the league within 15 days of the draft.

The rookie is eligible to join the team, train, and play as long as he is in good standing.

Rookie contracts are 160 million won for the first two rounds, 140 million

won for the third and fourth rounds, 120 million won for the fifth and

sixth rounds, and 110 million won for the seventh round.

Players selected in the second round will receive 85 million won for the

first and second rounds, 65 million won for the third and fourth rounds,

45 million won for the fifth and sixth rounds, and 35 million won for the seventh round. 슬롯사이트

Kim wins first ‘wire-to-wire’ victory of the season, sixth LPGA victory of her career, also earns ‘Bear Trophy’

Ascendant celebrates after 18 months in the game
First $2 million in season prize pool

Hyo Joo Kim

Reacts with the trophy after winning her first tournament of the season at

the Ascendant LPGA on the U.S. Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA)

Tour at Old American Golf Club in The Colony, Texas, U.S., on Sept. 9.

South Korean Hyo-Joo Kim, 28, won her first U.S. Women’s Professional

Golf (LPGA) Tour victory of the season with a wire-to-wire victory to improve her career win total to six.

Kim carded four birdies and two bogeys for a 2-under 69 in the final four

rounds of the LPGA Tour’s Ascendant LPGA on Monday at the par-71

Old American Golf Club in The Colony, Texas. Her final total of 13-

under-par 271 put her atop the leaderboard by four strokes over the

second-place group of Bianca Pagdanganan (Philippines) and Ataya

Thittitjerin (Thailand). It was her first win in a year and a half since the

Lotte Championship in April last year. With the $270,000 (approx. KRW

360,000) first-place prize, Kim surpassed the $2 million mark in season

earnings for the first time since her LPGA Tour debut ($2,049,778 – approx. KRW 2.7 billion – 6th place).

Kim hYO JOO

Had three top-three finishes last year after winning the Lotte Championship. She shot well enough to finish in the top 10 in half the events she played this year (eight), with two runner-up finishes and one third-place finish, but a win didn’t follow. But today’s wire-to-wire victory, her first, quenched her thirst. Kim said, “My performance this year hasn’t been bad, but I was worried about myself because I didn’t win. I really wanted to win before the year ended, and I’m happy that I accomplished that goal,” said Kim. “It was good to have a good score all four days, but it’s more important to finish with a ‘win’ than a wire-to-wire victory.”

The win also puts Kim one shot closer to winning the Bare Trophy, the LPGA Tour’s season-low scoring average award. Kim currently leads the LPGA Tour with a stroke average of 69.67, ahead of Tee Tzu Kang (70.02). “My goals this year were to win the championship and the lowest stroke award,” Kim said, “and now that I’ve won the championship, I want to win the lowest stroke award.” The lowest stroke award is considered to be a better measure of a player’s true ability than multiple wins or prize money.

Kim will return home soon to compete in the LPGA Tour’s BMW Ladies Championship at Seowon Hills Golf Club in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, starting on Sept. 19. Kim’s victory was the second straight for South Korean players on the LPGA Tour and their fourth win of the season. 카지노사이트존

Hwang Sun-woo

Who will compete in swimming management at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian

At the center of it all is South Korean swimming icon Hwang Sun-woo.

The first South Korean swimmer in history to win back-to-back medals at

the long course (50 meters) world championships, Hwang will try to win a

trio of titles at his first Asian Games. Hwang has the best chance of

winning gold in the 100 and 200 meter freestyle events and the 800 meter freestyle relay.

Hwang has already shown that he is world-class in his main event, the 200-

meter freestyle. His 800-meter freestyle relay team with Kim Woo-min,

Yang Jae-hoon (Gangwon-do) and Lee Ho-joon (Daegu City Hall) is also

unbeatable in Asia.

In the 100m freestyle, he will face stiff competition from Fan Zhanle

Eight-game winning streak for KIA

Now looks like third place Kium’s ‘pepper squad’ emerges

The Kia Tigers have their sights set on higher ground, having jumped to fourth place with a recent eight-game winning streak.

KIA has won its last eight games in a row, including a four-game sweep last week (Aug. 29-Sept. 3).

KIA (56 wins, 2 draws, 50 losses), 카지노사이트 which was in sixth place until last month 26th, leapfrogged the Doosan Bears (55 wins, 1 draw, 54 losses) to fifth place and then knocked the NC Dinos (57 wins, 2 draws, 51 losses) down to fourth. Only 1.5 games separate KIA from third-place SSG Landers (60 wins, 1 draw, 51 losses).

KIA has the potential to make a big jump to the top of the standings, as they have a good batting lineup and team chemistry.

In particular, Na Sung-beom and Park Chan-ho are leading the hot bats, while ace Yang Hyun-jong has been the centerpiece of the starting lineup as he has been pitching well lately.

KIA will play a three-game series against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium starting on April 5, and then play four games in Gwangju starting on April 8, 온라인카지노 including a doubleheader against the LG Twins.

KIA has been weak against Dusan this year, going 3-7, and strong against LG, going 5-5.

Kiwoom, who are unlikely to make the postseason, went 4-1 last week. The team has been playing the role of a “pepper squad” (a lower-ranked team that prevents a higher-ranked team from winning).

In particular, Kiwoom won all three games against second-place KT Wiz last week, halting their opponent’s momentum.

KT failed to overtake the first-place LG Twins as they were held back by Kiwoom. Losing back-to-back games to a lower-ranked team late in the season can be devastating for a top team in a tight race.

Kiwoom’s Kim Hye-seong and Ronnie Dawson lead the batting lineup, while Ahn Woo-jin and Ariel Furado lead the pitching staff. Their focus, especially in tight situations, has made them a force to be reckoned with for the top teams.

Kiwoom will play a three-game series against the NC Dinos, who have dropped to fifth place, before facing the last-place Hanwha Eagles on the weekend.

First-place LG and second-place KT will go head-to-head at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on May 5.

LG and KT are 5-5 against each other this year, so the three-game series is expected to be a battle.

LG will start Won-tae Choi on the mound on the 5th, looking for a win. With ace Adam Plutko out for an extended period of time with a pelvic injury, the roles of Choi, Kelly, and Lim Chan-kyu will be crucial.

KT will try to snap a five-game losing streak against LG with William Cuevas, 카지노사이트존 who won his last five starts in August.

KT is in a severe batting slump and needs to regain its hitting touch.
