"'Princess Cutting Board' Yeo Seo-jeong (Jecheon City Hall) also 'Wanju' even with a dislocated shoulder. However, he sought his second consecutive medal following the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, but failed unfortunately.
In the women's gymnastics vault final at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at Versiarena in Paris on the 3rd (Korea time), Yeo Seo-jeong ranked seventh among the eight finalists with an average of 13.416 points in the first and second periods.
Yeo Seo-jung, who stood at the podium in the seventh order among the eight finalists on the day, tried to twist the first round and a half of the difficulty of 5.4 in the first period, but the landing was shaken. The hand holding the cutting board slipped. My knees touched the mat and moved one step forward. It received 8.766 points in the implementation and 14.166 points in total.
In the second period, he used a technique of 5.0 in difficulty, but lost his balance and fell forward. It received 7.666 points in the implementation, ranking seventh with a total of 12.666 points and an average of 13.416. It was different from the time when he ranked fourth with an average of 14.183 points in the first and second periods during the preliminary round.

Still, I couldn't abstain. He said "I did well in the preliminary round, and I thought it would be even more regrettable if I withdrew, so I wanted to finish the game somehow."It's a shame, but I'm more fortunate that I came out with a big understanding..." he bit his lips.
When Yeo Hong-chul, the executive director of the Korea Gymnastics Association, brought up his father 'The original God of Cutting Board', Yeo Seo-jung "I think my father would just say good job." My parents also knew that my shoulder hurt during practice and worried a lot. I've been texting you, but I think you'll be very worried. He replied, "You're probably just worried a lot rather than the result."
North Korea's Ahn Chang-ok, who won the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, ranked fourth with 14.216 points, higher than Yeo Seo-jeong. Returning legend Simone Biles of the U.S. won the gold medal with an overwhelming 15.300 points, winning three gold medals in this competition.

Yeo Seo-jung said, `I was very nervous because I was burdened and injured a lot while preparing for the Paris Olympics. Anyway, I should have controlled it well, but I'm sorry that it led to the injury. You looked forward to it a lot, but I'm sorry."
He continued "Thank you so much to the coaches and coaches for giving me the courage to continue to do it next to them, and now the trainer had a lot of injuries, so he worked hard." Thank you so much. Thank you to all those who supported us in Korea, and I just thank you for everything."
