Baek Woong-ki (63), head coach of the Indian archery team, who arrived in Paris, France a few days before the opening of the Paris Olympics, received an absurd notice from the Archery Association of India (AAI) telling him to “pack and return home

.” According to local Indian media outlets such as The Indian Express and The Hindu on the 22nd (local time), Baek Woong-ki experienced this while waiting in Paris for the issuance of the ‘AD (Accreditation) card’, an identification card used to enter the Olympic stadium and athlete village.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) informed Baek that he was no longer needed as head coach of the archery team and that he had not requested the issuance of the AD card, and told him to pick up his flight ticket back to India, which he had booked for the afternoon of the 20th.

Coach Baek, who recently arrived in Paris after training in Marseille, expressed his anger, saying, “I was excluded from the role of Olympic coach at a critical time,” and that it was “humiliating and insulting.” He

continued, “The IOA’s poor and reckless administration led to the exclusion of foreign coaches,” and “When my contract expires on the 30th of next month, I will not extend it even if they ask me to do so.”

After receiving a return ticket from AAI executives on the 20th and returning to India, he looked for a flight to Korea.

In relation to this, local media outlets focused on the fact that AAI added a physical therapist to the Indian national team just one day after Coach Baek was excluded. The association distributes AD cards, which are provided in a certain number to each country, to players, coaches, medical staff, and administrative staff. The Indian archery team received four AD cards for coaches and support staff, but Coach Baek was the fifth, not the first, resulting in the absurd result of not being able to stay in Paris. It is said that the physical therapist was able to join the national team instead of Coach Baek because he was close to the association’s secretary general. Meanwhile, Coach Baek served as the coach of the women's team at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the women's team at the 2012 London Olympics, winning four gold medals and one silver medal. After that, he agreed to an offer from India to become the head coach of the Indian archery team that will compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, and was to serve as the head coach of the Indian national team of 20 men and women for two years from 2022 to the end of August 2024 after the Paris Olympics.
