On the 4th, an unusual photo was released on the official SNS account of the 2024 Paris Olympics. It was a photo of a female athlete sleeping on a track at the Stade de France, the main stadium of the Paris Olympics and the track and field. It was a picture of sleeping in a sleeping bag and using a bag of supplies as a pillow as if sleeping in a bed in the master bedroom. Even this player was about to go to the final. On the Olympic SNS account, you can also take a 'rest with this photo. But can I take a nap during the Olympic final?' added the humorous phrase.
The main character was Yaroslava Mahuchik (23) of Ukraine, who competed in the women's high jump. There is a surprising twist. Mahuchik, who slept well on the track ahead of the final, eventually won the gold medal in the high jump. Mahuchik won the gold medal by jumping 2m00 in the final after waking up. The record was the same as that of Nicola Olislazers (Australia), but the gold medal went to Mahuchik, who succeeded in the first period. Olislazers won silver in the third period.

But Mahuchik was not 'innocent princess'. He spoke out about the reality of his country, Ukraine, which is suffering the devastation of war due to Russian airstrikes after becoming Ukraine's first high jump gold medalist. Mahuchik said "The Olympics represented peace, but Russia did not stop (the bombing). During the Olympics, large-scale attacks on Ukraine also took place..." he criticized Russia. In fact, Mahucic has been preparing for the Olympics by training in Estonia, Portugal, Belgium, and Germany after leaving his home country due to Russian airstrikes. He said "I was very sad that I had no choice but to train abroad. I hope we can train in Ukraine at the next Olympics."

Mahuchik is in line with South Korea's national badminton team Ahn Se-young in that he voiced criticism of the poor reality with the Olympic gold medal around his neck. Mahuchik and Ahn Se-young's voices, who have courage at the top of their ranks, contain the beauty of 'go-gi' beyond their pretty appearance.
On the other hand, there is a beauty star who has attracted more attention by causing a stir with her unexpected actions. It is Luana Alonso (20), a Paraguay female swimmer. Alonso competed in the women's 100m butterfly qualifying round on July 27, the beginning of the competition, and failed to reach the final round, finishing sixth.

Paraguay's squad did not sit idly by Alonso's deviant behavior. Paraguay's squad eventually kicked Alonso out of the athletes' village on the 5th. In response, Larissa Shearer, head of Paraguay's national team, said "Alonso, who was a member of the national swimming team, is creating an inappropriate atmosphere. Thank you for following his instructions and instructed Alonso to leave, and announced that the player accepted it.
However, Alonso immediately refuted the claim on social media. He said "I wasn't kicked out or banished from anywhere. Don't spread false information." He then removed all the tourist photos and exposure photos he had released.

Alyssa Schmidt, 26, a member of the German national track and field team, is also familiar to Korean fans. This is because he went up side by side with Jung Seung-won of the Korean national soccer team in the 「Top 10 Handsome and Beauty」 at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Schmidt, who is 1m 75cm tall, has already been very popular since childhood with his long arms and legs and solid muscles. In 2017, he also debuted as a magazine model for an Australian magazine. At the time, he was nicknamed the hottest athlete in the world. He is also active in social media activities, and has as many as 7 million followers.
Schmidt participated as part of the German women's 4x100m relay team at the Tokyo Olympics, but did not participate in the actual event, and this time, he made his dream 'debut' at the Paris Olympics. Schmidt, who won a ticket to the Olympic finals in the 4X400m mixed relay along with Manuel Sanders, Johanna Martin and Emile Agekum at the 2024 World Relay Championships, competed as a member of the German national team in the 4X400m mixed relay preliminaries held on the 3rd.
However, Germany was eliminated from the qualifying round with a time of 3:15.63 (7th place). Schmidt couldn't get a medal around his neck.

Luna, the German track and field representative, said "The results were not recognized by everyone. The German Association of Athletics had to have the fastest four people running. But a different decision was made.'Schmidt and the German Athletics Association were shot. Although she was second in Germany in the women's 400m record, she was not selected as the representative of the mixed relay, and Schmidt, who was slower than her, was selected.
As the controversy grew, Luna deleted her post. However, Schmidt indirectly admitted that his selection was not in the order of grades, saying, `It is right that there was a disagreement beforehand.'
