Gimhae Ilseo held from the 11th to the 17th… 29,641 athletes participated

[서울=뉴시스]Reporter Kim Joo-hee = Korea’s largest sports festival, the National Sports Festival, begins.

The 105th National Sports Festival will be held in Gyeongsangnam-do, including Gimhae Sports Complex, for seven days from the 11th to the 17th. The 29,641 athletes will compete in 49 sports.

Interest has grown in this competition as a large number of medalists from the 2024 Paris Olympics, which made the summer even hotter, participated.

‘Badminton Empress’ Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance) appeared on the court for the first time since the Olympics through the National Sports Festival.

Ahn Se-young, who won the women’s singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics 28 years after Bang Su-hyun at the 1996 Atlanta Games, was at the center of controversy after making a decisive statement about the Badminton Association and the management of the national team. Afterwards, he focused on rehabilitation for about two months due to a knee injury and returned to the National Sports Festival.

Ahn Se-young, who participated as a representative of Busan, shed tears after winning the round of 16 of the badminton women’s general team event held as a pre-match on the 9th.

The performance was still the same. He captured attention by showing off his overwhelming skills, winning in 14 minutes in the quarterfinals held on the 10th.

Busan, where Ahn Se-young belongs, will advance to the semifinals of the team event on the 11th.

Hwang Seon-woo (Gangwon Provincial Office), who failed to smile at the Paris Olympics, is also trying to restore his honor.

Hwang Sun-woo, who was a promising gold medalist at the Paris Games, suffered the bitter taste of being eliminated in the semifinals of the main event, the 200m freestyle. I swallow my regrets and move through the water with strength again.

Hwang Seon-woo won five gold medals in last year’s competition and also won MVP honors for three consecutive years for the first time in history. In this tournament, we will once again attempt to become the first player to win the ‘MVP of 4 consecutive tournaments’.

Athletes who shone brilliantly at the Paris Games will also compete for glory at the National Sports Festival.

Kim Woo-jin (Cheongju City Hall) and Im Si-hyeon (Korea National Sport University), who achieved three archery gold medals for men and women, will also pull the bowstring at the National Sports Festival. Kim Woo-jin and Im Si-hyun are continuing their upward trend by winning gold medals in the men’s and women’s division at the National Men’s and Women’s Archery Championships held last month.
