Last year, he won a gold medal at the Asian Championships and a bronze medal at the World Championships. “I am currently in good physical condition First, prepare for the national team selection competition.”

Artistic gymnastics star Yeo Yeo-jeong (Jecheon City Hall), who is considered a medal candidate at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is working hard to reach the top spot.

Yeo Yeo-jeong is the star of Korean artistic gymnastics. She won the women's vault gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, and at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she achieved the feat of becoming the first Korean female artistic gymnast to win an Olympic medal (bronze medal). 메이저사이트

Yeo Yeo-jeong continued her high-flying streak last year. Last June, she won a gold medal at the Asian Championships in Singapore, and in October of the same year, she won a bronze medal at the World Championships in Belgium. Yeo Yeo-jeong is the first Korean female artistic gymnast to win a medal at the World Championships.

In recognition of her achievements last year, Yeo Yeo-jeong won the Excellence Award at the 34th Yungok Kim Un-yong Korea Women's Sports Awards ceremony held on the 6th.

Yeo Seo-jeong, whom she met at the awards ceremony, said, “I think she trained hard at the athlete’s village and achieved good results. Last year's World Championships and Asian Games overlapped with her. “Her goal was to go to the Paris Olympics, so she chose to participate in the World Championships, and she was happy with the results,” she said.

Yeo Yeo-jeong's peers and national team players, Ahn Se-young (badminton), Shin Yu-bin (table tennis), and Hwang Sun-woo (swimming), all won gold medals at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. Yeo Yeo-jeong was unable to compete at the Asian Games due to her participation in the World Championships, where her Olympic qualification was at stake, but these performances were a positive stimulus.

Yeo Seo-jeong said, “I am motivated to see the athletes I met during the Tokyo Olympics achieve good results. “We are all working hard together,” he said.

Yeo Yeo-jeong's father is Yeo Hong-cheol, the 'Emperor of Chopping Islands'. Yeo Hong-cheol and Yeo Yeo-jeong set a new record as world championship father-daughter medalists.

Yeo Hong-cheol won a bronze medal at the 1994 World Championships in Brisbane, Australia, and a silver medal at the 1996 World Championships in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She won a silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Yeo Hong-cheol and Yeo Yeo-jeong also left their mark as Korea's first father-daughter Olympic medalists.

Yeo Yeo-jeong said, “When I was young, I felt burdened by my father’s reputation, but not anymore,” and added, “Even though he rarely talks about sports, he supports me hard from the side.”

This year, Yeo Yeo-jeong is putting her main focus on the Paris Olympics to be held in July. She aims higher than at the last Tokyo Games.

Yeo Yeo-jeong said, “I’m training hard right now and I’m in good shape. First of all, I will focus on preparing for the national team selection match to be held next month. “Once the trials are over, she will prepare hard and stay injury-free before the Olympics,” she said. “Her goal is big.” “I want to climb to a higher place than in Tokyo,” she said, revealing her aspirations. 토토사이트 순위
