“One day, even in a new world record… Go home and start with Prinkle.”
Park Hye-jung (21, Goyang City Hall), who won a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, returned home with a bigger dream.
Park Hye-jeong returned home through Incheon International Airport on the 13th with the team participating in the Paris Olympics and vowed to win a gold medal at the next Olympics, saying, “If we continue to set new Korean records, we will one day be able to reach a new world record.”
Park Hye-jung ranked second in the women’s 81kg or higher weightlifting class at the Paris Olympics, behind Li Wen of China, who recorded a total of 309kg (136kg in the upward position, 173kg in the upward position, including 131kg in the upward position, 168kg in the dragon image, and 299kg in total.
Although he did not reach the top of the podium, he set a new Korean record first in this competition, and in total, he broke the Korean record of 296kg of women’s weight class, which he set in April, by 3kg. Above all, it was more meaningful and valuable because it was a medal won after overcoming the sadness of his mother’s death four months before the Olympics.
After winning the silver medal, Park said, “I tried not to think about my mother because I thought I would be swayed until the Olympics are over. But I had no choice but to think of my mother. I want to show my mother a medal when I return to Korea.” Park Hye-jeong’s silver medal is the last one won by a Korean athlete at the Paris Olympics.
Park Hye-jung said, “The evidence of my hard work for the past four years for the Olympics is silver medal. There is a difference of about 10kg from Riwon, but if I exercise more confidently and hard, I think I can catch up step by step. Four years later, I have the courage and confidence to look at the gold medal.” 토토사이트
“I felt pressured because people around me asked if Park Hye-jung was going to end the finale with Korea’s last medal,” he said, adding that “I played with a positive feeling of responsibility.”
She also revealed her plan for a surprise break when she returned to Korea with a sparkling silver medal around her neck. When asked what she wants to do the most today, she said, “I will have Prinkle at home.”
