South Korea finishes 8th overall with 13 golds–one short of record medal total

The South Korean athletes finished the Paris 2024 Olympics in 8th place overall. It’s a ‘best ever’ result that far exceeds expectations.

South Korea concluded the Games with a silver medal from Park Hye-jung in the women’s weightlifting 81kg and above event on Wednesday (June 11). On the final day of competition, Sung Seung-min added a bronze medal in the women’s modern pentathlon.

South Korea finished the Paris 2024 Games with 13 gold, 9 silver, and 10 bronze medals.

They are ranked eighth overall (based on gold medals).

As of 11 p.m. on Nov. 11, the women’s basketball final is the last event of the Paris 2024 Games. Our final opponents, the United States and France, are ranked higher than us.

In terms of gold medals, South Korea ranks eighth behind China (40), the United States (39), Japan (20), Australia (18), France (16), the Netherlands (15), and the United Kingdom (14). In terms of total medals, we are 10th behind Italy (40) and Germany (33).

This is far beyond their initial goals.

The Korean athletes were worried about their “worst-ever performance” at the Games, but they flew way above expectations, even surpassing their best-ever performance.

The Korean Olympic 카지노사이트 Committee’s pre-event prediction of five gold medals (three in archery and two in fencing) was easily surpassed.

The ‘filial’ sport of archery swept all five events, with shooting and fencing adding three and two golds respectively. Ahn Se-young won the women’s singles badminton title, the first gold medal of the Games outside of the gun, knife, and bow events. She also won two gold medals in taekwondo, ending her “no-gold” streak from Tokyo three years ago. It was the first time she had won a medal since Tokyo (6 gold, 4 silver, 10 bronze).

This ties the record for the most gold medals in a Summer Games, tying the 13 gold medals won at the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Games. It was one short of the all-time record of 33 medals (12 gold, 10 silver, 11 bronze) set in Seoul in 1988.

South Korea fielded its smallest contingent in 48 years after the 1976 Montreal Games due to the elimination of soccer, volleyball and basketball, but it still managed to put together a performance that will be considered historic.

“Even the American media and British supercomputers predicted five gold medals for us,” said Lee Ki-heung, president of the Korean Olympic Committee. It’s not something we can do arbitrarily. Through a five-step process, our objective ability was judged to be five gold medals.” “The public gave us a lot of support, and our leaders dedicated themselves in a difficult environment. Overall, there was a sense of crisis in the elite sports crisis. This sense of urgency to get it done paid off.”
