Badminton, soccer, Korea Sports Council… A series of controversies in the domestic sports community

After Ahn Se-young, the 2024 Paris Olympics badminton women’s singles gold medalist, made a remark about the Korean Badminton Association and the national team management system, controversy is breaking out regardless of the sport. Suspicions of unfairness in the appointment of coach Hong Myung-bo of the national soccer team and controversy over non-payment of rewards to players of the Korea Shooting Association arose. In the first audit of the 22nd National Assembly, the Korea Sports Council was criticized for its lax budget execution and operation, the issue of reappointment of the president, the controversy over abuse of power at local sports associations, and the suspicion of funneling work to specific companies.
The 33rd Summer Olympics will be held in Paris, France from July 26 to August 11, 2024. With the slogan “Venez partager” (come and share), it emphasized an equal competition for everyone, achieved gender equality with an equal number of male and female participants, and held the same status as the Paralympic Games (August 28 – September 8). 10,500 athletes from 206 countries participated in 329 games in 32 sports, and Korea dispatched 144 athletes to 22 sports. Although it was the smallest event since the 1976 Montreal Games, it won 13 gold medals, 9 silver medals, and 10 bronze medals, ranking 8th overall.
