'Anma Ace' Heo Woong (Jecheon City Hall) finished seventh out of eight finalists with 14.300 points in the men's gymnastics massage final at the Paris Olympics at the Versi Arena in Paris.
Heo Woong, who stood at the podium for the seventh time out of eight players on the day, challenged for a 6.7 point performance in difficulty. For the Olympic stage, he has ambitiously prepared for a high-level performance that does not fall behind medal contenders. If he performed perfectly, he could have challenged for a medal.
But was it because of the tension on the first Olympic stage. A mistake was made in the early spindle technology. I was caught in a device and fell. He started acting again, but it was not enough to recover from the fatal mistake. The score was only 7.600 points, ranking 14.300 points and 7th.

Heo Woong, who met in the mixed zone, regretted not being able to show 100% of himself because he was nervous in his first Olympics. However, the possibility was also seen on the stage. "If you work hard with the idea that you can do it without getting scared from this moment on, you can do it enough. If you do well without injury, there is nothing to be pushed back on, whether it is skill, effort or talent." Heo Woong, who is 1m78, said of the merits of a massage player "If you are tall, you will have difficulty in handstand movements, and it is difficult for a small player to touch your hand far away." I have arms, legs, and physical conditions to do everything. I can do everything"I was confident. "I'm confident that I'll have all the strengths of all the players at once from next year." When asked for a word to wrap up the twenty-four first Olympics, which had many twists and turns, he replied. "My first Olympics was lucky, but I lacked confidence. Let's do our best again now."
