The strong heart, who has been competing on the best stage, also seems to be very moved by the specialness of the Olympics.
Kim Joo-hyung (22) finished eighth in men's golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Kim Joo-hyung shot a 3-under 68 in the men's final round at Le Golf Nashonal (par 71) in Giancourt, France on the 5th (Korea time). Kim Joo-hyung, who became a 13-under 271 overall, finished the tournament in eighth place alone.
We got off to a good start. He reduced four shots in the first half alone, raising expectations for a medal. After watching the 11th hole (par 3), he made birdies in the 13th and 15th holes (par 4), respectively, reducing the number of pars again, but left a regret as he closed the 18th hole (par 4) with a double bogey.

He said, `It was my first Olympic appearance, and I didn't think it would be this touching"It's absolutely not that you don't cry because you don't win a medal. " Then "In fact, (the emotions) came up from about the 17th hole."`````````" he said. He explained that Schaeffler's story is personal and difficult to disclose everything. "I think he knew my thoughts well because Schaeffler listened to my concerns a lot and thanked me for saying "Good job " "This is the first time I have cried like this after the competition," he said.

He said "I didn't have many opportunities to represent my country when I was an amateur"It's so nice to be a professional and get this opportunity." I was so touched that Korean fans cheered for me at the concert"I feel mature through this competition, and I want to show better men's golf like archery in the future."," he said, concluding his feelings about participating in his first Olympics.
