Way to go! Korea Sports Corporation prepares events to support the athletes of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics
The Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation (Chairman Cho Hyun-jae) will support the South Korean team participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics.

A total of three athletes, Koo Bon-gil (Fencing) and Woo Haram Shin Jung-hwi (Diving), who are members of the Sports Corporation's sports team, will also participate in the Paris Olympics under the national flag. Koo Bon-gil, who will compete in the individual and team events of the fencing sabre, is looking forward to winning his third Olympic gold medal in this Olympics. In particular, it is expected to be a more meaningful medal as she is about to give birth to her second child during the competition.

Woo Ha-ram of the men's diving 3-meter springboard is trying to wash away his disappointment in fourth place at the Tokyo Olympics by entering the medal table, while Shin Jung-hwi, who is participating in the Olympics for the first time, is aiming for a surprise prize on the men's 10-meter diving platform.

Support for sports science is also essential. The Korea Sports Science Institute will build a 「Sports Science Remote Support Room" in Jincheon Training Center during the Olympics and help national athletes in the field perform at their best, including collecting and analyzing game videos, providing non-face-to-face psychological counseling and conditioning infographics.

In addition, the Sports Corporation has also prepared a variety of events to support the South Korean athletes participating in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, including athletes from the sports team.

Starting from the 26th, the Sports Corporation will provide free 16 character emojis showing support for Olympic events for 25,000 people who add the 'Newsroom' KakaoTalk channel as friends, and if you add an official blog as a neighbor and make an acrostic poem with 'National Representative' and comment, you will be able to receive goods limited to the Paris Olympics 'Baekho-dol' through a lottery.

At the Seoul Olympic Parktel (hereinafter referred to as Parktel), a program that allows 30 middle school students to experience Paralympic events for one night and two days was held from the 24th. Along with education to introduce the history and value of the Paralympics, there is also a time to meet current Paralympians, which is expected to be a positive event to improve awareness of Paralympics and the disabled, which are unfamiliar to teenagers.

In addition, all drinks will be offered at a 30% discount to customers visiting Parktel Coffee Shop 'Landebu' during the Paris Olympics and Paralympics. In particular, an additional 20% discount will be applied the day after the Korean team wins the gold medal, the Korea Sports Corporation added.
