As the eldest member of the women’s archery team, she led the team to a 10-game winning streak after suffering mentally.
I trained more to avoid harm… I achieved my big goal, so I feel comfortable in the individual event.
“The moment the victory was confirmed, I burst into tears.
I thought about all the hardships we had endured…” 토토사이트
Jeon Hun-young (30, Incheon City Hall) is the athlete who must have suffered the most mentally during the process of the women’s national archery team achieving its 10th consecutive Olympic women’s team victory.
With only Im Si-hyeon (21, Korea National Sport University), a triple gold medalist at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, having experience in international competitions, and Jeon Hun-young and the youngest Nam Su-hyeon (19, Suncheon City Hall) having virtually no experience on the international stage, there were constant concerns about whether the national team could achieve a 10-game winning streak.
The concerns seemed to be becoming reality after the team lost to China in the first and second rounds of this year’s World Cup and finished as runners-up.
Jeon Hun-young must have felt even heavier as she was the eldest sister and had to lead the team.
Hun-young Jeon did her part in the women’s team archery event at the 2024 Paris Olympics held on the 28th (local time) and won a valuable gold medal.
Jeon Hun-young, whom we met at the joint press area, said, “I didn’t work out that hard until now,” but added, “But preparing for the Olympics was so hard.
The 10-game winning streak was a lot of pressure, and since it was my first time participating in a major competition, I also thought, ‘Can I really do it?’
He continued, “I prepared and trained harder so as not to cause any harm to the 10-game winning streak.
That’s why it was so hard.”
Jeon Hoon-young, who cried the moment the victory was confirmed, only smiled in front of the press.
