Sports Toto wheelchair tennis team Lim Ho-won will participate in this competition with coach Joo Deuk-hwan from the same team, and coach Joo will also play as the coach of the Korean national wheelchair tennis team. Lim Ho-won aims to advance to the semifinals of the doubles event and win a medal at the Paris Paralympics with Han Sung-bong (Daegu Dalseong-gun Office). To this end, Lim Ho-won participated in the pre-camp for the Paris Paralympics from August 14 to 24 (about 10 days) with coach Joo and completed all preparations. Wheelchair tennis events will run from 30th to 7th September.
Lim Ho-won recently made a remarkable achievement in the competition, raising expectations for a medal in this competition. He received great attention last year when he won a doubles gold medal for the first time in a men's event at the Hangzhou Asian Para Games. In addition, he won both singles and doubles at the Bolton Indian ITF3 tournament in the UK in February this year, and proved his ability by winning doubles at the 'XII TorneoFundacion Emilio Sanchez Vicario' competition in Spain in May and the German Open in July.
Lim Ho-won considers this competition a particularly meaningful challenge. "It's my third time at the Paralympics, but this tournament is even more special because I'm going to compete for a medal," he said. "There are high expectations from people around me, but I have high expectations and confidence myself. I think it's an important opportunity to show me that I've grown up, and I'm preparing my best to win a medal, so I'll achieve my goal and come back."
