[Paris (France) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] The shooting team was in a lonely fight. Shooting at the 2024 Paris Olympics will not take place in Paris. They will compete at the Chatoru shooting range, which is more than 230 kilometers away from Paris. Therefore, the shooting team is far from the main team of the Korean team.

Nevertheless, Korean shooting continues to have the best performance in this competition. As of the 4th, he is enjoying his best days with three gold medals and two silver medals. What caused the Korean shooting to rise again. I heard it directly from the players.

▶ Communication and support

Ban Hyo-jin (16, Daegu Athletic High School), who won the youngest gold medal ever in the women's 10-meter air rifle, talked about 'communication'. He said "There were a lot of younger members. The coaches are young, too. I got a lot of advice because you guys led me well" he evaluated.

The support was also solid. Kim Ye-ji (31, Imsil County Office), who won a silver medal in the women's 10m air pistol, said, "I received a lot of help from the athletes' villageBefore coming to Paris, he also trained at the Okryun International Shooting Range. In addition to that, there was a lot of support from the athletes' village in many areas (such as lunch boxes)."

▶ I wanted to meet the players

The shooter was far away, so there were many questions about Paris. First of all, I wanted to meet the players. Kim Ye-ji said, "I wanted to meet Heo Mi-mi of judo. I've got my eye on it," he said in greeting. Then Humimi also greeted him with a nod, "Thank you " Ban Hyo-jin "The shooting ended on the first and second days. Afterwards, I cheered while watching the Olympic broadcast video for the rest of the year"Yesterday, I shouted and cheered while watching the women's fencing sabre team event. Before that, I felt that it was cute while watching judo's Kim Ha-yoon and Hur Mi-mi. Oh Sang-wook also cheered."

After the game, the shooters will go on a tour of Paris for the first time in a long time. I plan to blow away my loneliness while looking at the Eiffel Tower.
