The world's best Korean women's golf team is looking for an Olympic gold medal again after 8 years.

The Korean women's golf team will compete in the first round of the '2024 Paris Olympics' women's golf competition held at Le Golf Nationale (par 71) in Guyancourt, near Paris, starting at 4 PM on the 7th.

After Inbee Park (KB Financial Group) became the first gold medalist in the Korean women's golf competition in the 2016 Rio Games, she did not win a medal in the last Tokyo Games.

Ko Jin-young (29, Solaire), Yang Hee-young (35, Kiwoom Securities), and Kim Hyo-joo (29, Lotte) will once again prove why Korean women's golf is the best in the world in Paris. This

Paris competition is the second Olympic challenge for all three players.

Yang Hee-young competed in the 2016 Rio Games, and Ko Jin-young and Kim Hyo-joo competed in the 2020 Tokyo Games in 2021 for two consecutive Olympics.

In particular, Yang Hee-young had to swallow the disappointment of missing out on a medal by a hair's breadth, finishing in fourth place in Rio. Kim Hyo-joo, who visited the Paris stadium where the competition was held on the 4th, said, "There are three medals: gold, silver, and bronze, and there are three of us," and expressed her determination ahead of the competition, saying, "I hope all three of us do well and go home with medals instead of AD cards." All three players are on an upward trend ahead of the Olympics, so this is a goal they can definitely challenge for. The most threatening competitor for Korean players is definitely Nelly Korda (26, USA). Korda is aiming for a second consecutive victory in Paris after winning the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games. Korda, ranked No. 1 in the world, swept six wins this season, including the Chevron Championship, a major tournament of the US LPGA. However, Yang Hee-young (ranked No. 3 in the world), Ko Jin-young (4th), and Kim Hyo-joo (12th) are also recognized as the world's best players, and they will once again show the potential of Korean golf through this Olympics. Woo Sang-hyuk (28, Yongin City Hall), the pride of Korean track and field, will also fly to his third Olympic stage. Woo Sang-hyuk was one of the unknown players who no one paid attention to when he entered the '2020 Tokyo Olympics'. However, his positive attitude in Tokyo and his outstanding skills even among the world's top players made him a star overnight. Although he ended up finishing in fourth place and did not win a medal, Woo Sang-hyuk continued to grow without stopping. His surprising performance in Tokyo did not end with a 'spark'. Woo Sang-hyuk has raised expectations for the Paris Olympics by winning the first Korean title in various competitions, including the 2022 Belgrade World Indoor Championships and the 2023 Diamond League Finals. Woo Sang-hyuk is no longer an unknown athlete. He served as the flag bearer for the Korean team at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. And now he dreams of becoming the first Korean medalist in track and field events. Woo Sang-hyuk's jump, which will be a strong medal candidate for the Olympics, will begin at 5:05 PM on the 7th. If he passes the preliminaries by clearing 2.29m on this day, he will compete for a medal at 2:05 AM on the 11th . Kim Jang-woo (25, Armed Forces Athletic Corps), who is also competing in track and field, will also step on his first Olympic stage on this day. Kim Jang-woo will compete in the men's triple jump preliminaries on the 8th at 2:15 AM after the day changes. Kim Jang-woo has to jump farther than 17.10m to advance to the finals. It won't be easy considering Kim Jang-woo's season best is 16.85m, but he plans to take on the challenge of overcoming his limits today. South Korea's Taekwondo, which ended in a "no gold" at the last Tokyo Olympics and damaged its pride as a leading country, is ready to make a comeback. The first runner will be Park Tae-jun (20, Kyunghee University), a new member of the men's national team. Park Tae-jun, ranked 5th in the world and competing in the men's 58kg class, will have his first match against Yohandri Granado (Venezuela, ranked 29th) at 5:10pm on the 7th. Compared to Lee Dae-hoon and Jang Jun (Korea Gas Corporation), who competed in the same weight class, Park Tae-jun is not yet a familiar player to the public. However, he is a promising next-generation Taekwondo player who won gold medals at the Baku World Championships in June last year and the Da Nang Asian Championships in March this year. Park Tae-jun's goal for this Paris Olympics is also to play the national anthem. Following Park Tae-jun, Seo Geon-woo (21) in the men's 80kg class, Kim Yu-jin (24, Ulsan Metropolitan City Sports Council) in the women's 57kg class, and Lee Da-bin (28, Seoul City Hall) in the 67kg class will compete, so attention is focused on whether Park Tae-jun can make a good start. Woo Ha-ram (26, National Sports Promotion Foundation) and Lee Jae-kyung (25, Incheon Metropolitan City Sports Council), who passed the preliminaries together the day before, will advance to the semifinals. Of the 18 athletes who advanced to the semifinals, only the top 12 will advance to the finals. Woo Ha-ram and Lee Jae-kyung placed 12th and 16th, respectively, in the men's 3m springboard preliminaries. Their semifinals will be held at 5 p.m. that day. At 10 PM, Kim Su-ji (26, Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall) will compete in the women's 3m springboard preliminaries. Kim Su-ji, who won a bronze medal in this event at the Doha World Aquatics Championships this year, will continue her momentum and challenge for an Olympic medal. In today's preliminaries, where 28 athletes will compete, Kim Su-ji must place in the top 18 to advance to the semifinals. The men's table tennis team, which defeated Croatia in the round of 16 the day before, will meet the world's best, China, in the quarterfinals. It will certainly not be an easy match, but as this is the last table tennis event at these Olympics, Jang Woo-jin (29), Lim Jong-hoon (27, Korea Exchange), and Jo Dae-seong (22, Samsung Life Insurance) will show their fighting spirit to advance to the semifinals. Lee Do-hyun (22, Seoul City Hall, Black Yak), who placed 10th out of 20 in the men's combined bouldering semifinals of sport climbing on the 5th, will compete in the lead semifinals. Do-Hyeon Lee, ranked 3rd in the world in bouldering, was unable to overcome his nerves in his first Olympics competition and received a somewhat disappointing report card.

However, he will aim to make up for it in his main event, lead, at 5 p.m. today.

Since the sport climbing combined is calculated based on the combined results of bouldering and lead, if he performs well in lead, he can easily advance to the finals, where the top 8 can be ranked.
