“Post Jang Mi-ran” Park Hye-jung (Koyang City Hall), who gave the South Korean team its last medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, reportedly failed to properly prepare for the final third period of Yongsang due to a coach’s mistake.
Park Hye-jeong won a silver medal in the women’s 81kg or higher weightlifting class at the South Paris Arena 6 in Paris, France, on the 11th (Korea time). She lifted 131kg of snatch and 168kg of ambergris, setting a new Korean record with a total of 299kg (296kg).
On this day, Park Hye-jeong succeeded in 123kg in the 1st, 127kg in the 2nd, and 131kg in the 3rd, setting a new Korean record of 130kg in the 1st increase. She also secured a bronze medal by successively succeeding 163kg in the 1st and 168kg in the 2nd.
However, in the final third period of Yongsang, a disappointing scene came out.
Emily Campbell of the U.K., who came in third with 126 kilograms of impressions, applied for 174 kilograms in the third period after seeing Park’s record. In response, Park applied for 173 kilograms, but the coaches such as Lee Yong-sung, the coach of the Korean national weightlifting team, agonized over whether to increase the weight of her application. 메이저사이트
Then, Park, who missed the weight change time, rushed to the platform without wearing a belt properly with about 10 seconds left. Even magnesium carbonate powder had not been properly coated on her hands.
Former national team coach Lee Bae-young said urgently, “We have to hurry. We only have six seconds left.” Jeon Hyun-moo, the broadcaster who was in charge of the broadcast, also wondered, “Why did you come out so late? Why did you come out so quickly?”
Park Hye-jung wanted to hold 173 kilograms, but she missed the barbell. It is regrettable that she rushed to the platform due to the coach’s mistake.
Fortunately, as Campbell failed to weigh 174 kilograms in the third period, Park Hye-jeong won the silver medal. However, the coaching staff’s judgment was regrettable.
Internet users responded, “I couldn’t even break the player record because the coaches didn’t check the time,” and “It’s a shame that the player should have shown his four-year preparation and finished it without regret.” “If it’s not a local athletic competition, and there are more than three staff members, we should share and play a good role.”
“I was really angry, but the coach said sorry after the match,” Park said. “I was angry, but he said it was okay. I just feel so bad,” Park said. “He also apologized.”
