The sport in which the Korean team participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics can win a medal first is shooting.
After the opening ceremony on the afternoon of the 26th (local time), the 10m air rifle mixed event preliminary and finals
will take place in quick succession on the morning of the 27th.
Our shooting team has formed two mixed teams with Park Ha-jun (KT) - Ban Hyo-jin (Daegu Physical Education High
School) and Choi Dae-gi (Gyeongnam University) - Geum Ji-hyeon (Gyeonggi Provincial Office).
The final lineup of athletes competing in the Olympic air 토토 rifle mixed event is fluid.
Based on the player ranking points, only one team from our country can qualify, and in this case, both Ban Hyo-jin and
Geum Ji-hyeon can enter as partners with Park Ha-jun, the male player with the most ranking points.
For now, assuming that both teams can compete, Park Ha-jun and Ban Hyo-jin and Choi Dae-geum Ji-hyun are working
together to prepare for the mixed match.
Among these, the team of Park Ha-jun and Ban Hyo-jin are the players who passed the national team selection in first
place.
Park Ha-jun is a medalist who won silver medals in the men's 10m air rifle individual and team events, and bronze medal
in the 10m air rifle mixed event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held last year.
Born in 2007, Ban Hyo-jin is the youngest member of the national shooting team and is a rising star in women's shooting
who, contrary to everyone's expectations, took first place in the national team selection.
He started shooting for the first time in 2021, the year of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and his rapid growth is remarkable, as
he earned an Olympic ticket in just three years.
Park Ha-jun, whom we met after the Paris Olympic shooting team departure ceremony held at the Olympic Parktel in
Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 2nd, expressed his confidence by saying, "Even if I can't do it, I think I can do one person's part. I
think I can win a medal if someone follows me well."
He continued, "I taught Ban Hyo-jin the know-how to shoot quickly. The method is simple. Just load quickly and shoot.
Concentration is always controlled, so you just have to act quickly."
The mixed air rifle event requires both male and female athletes to fire 30 rounds in 30 minutes.
Since you have to shoot faster than in an individual match, it is essential to manage the match with a sense of speed.
