The Korean Olympic Committee's '2024 Seminar on Sports Medicine and Science' held at Olympic Parktel Olympia Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 18th was a place to share the support process and achievements of the Paris Olympics 'Medi.Dat=Medical+Data' and seek the future. The project was designed to expand support for sports medicine and data analysis to improve national performance ahead of the Paris Olympics and to establish a communication and collaboration network for each event.
For the first time, doctors, trainers, nutritionists, and staff members who worked hard in each field, from the hot summer in Paris, to duties, conditioning, psychology and special support. Through the back stories of the smallest athletes in history since Montreal in 1976 and those who struggled as national team members in their respective positions to increase the probability of winning a medal by even 0.01 percent due to the difficulties of Korean sports, they confirmed the reason for the better performance than expected and the truth of the Olympics that gold medals do not come alone.

In the keynote speech, Kim Won-jin 'Paris Judo Bronze Medalist'"The pre-camp for the Paris Olympics had a training environment similar to that of Jincheon Training Center, doctors at the athletes' village, and teachers at the treatment room. There was an environment for treatment and rehabilitation, and it was a better environment compared to the previous Olympics. It had a profound effect on the psychology and performance of the players." Yoo Jae-chul, senior vice president of the Korean Sports Medical Association, stressed that "One of the reasons why athletes were able to show their full skills at the Paris Olympics is thorough support from sports science. It is necessary not to settle for this achievement, but to form a mandatory committee consisting of experts such as specialists, physical therapists, exercise physiologists, psychological counselors, and nutritionists for each team."

In the third session, Han Deok-hyun, a professor of psychiatry at Chung-Ang University, received the highest attention in psychological support for the Paris Olympics. Professor Han collaborated with the Jincheon National Training Center Sports Medicine and Science Ministry and leaders of each sport to conduct psychological counseling ahead of the Paris Olympics. Fifty-eight athletes in five events, including swimming and judo, received psychological counseling for the entire team, including athletes, leaders, and trainers. Judo, which won five medals in Paris after expressing regret over the "Tokyo No Medal" event, is a representative event that benefited from psychological support. Professor Han did not mention a specific team, but "The best performance comes only when individual psychology and teamwork are combined together in a good way." "For the team work, all the coaches, coaches, trainers, office work, and administration were involved. The results of the psychological test were disclosed after asking for understanding from the members. At first, he was reluctant, but as he disclosed the results of the leaders and players, he began to understand each other. As the teamwork improved, the performance also improved.' "As the events that conducted the group psychological examination showed good results at the World Championships just before the Olympics, requests for group psychological examinations of other events continued. There is also a team three times." "Players have a natural temperament. Some players have to constantly give operational instructions, and others have better perceptions than managers during the game. Understanding this temperament reduces misunderstandings about players even for leaders. Teamwork improves"The team that all members of the team underwent psychological tests showed good results as well. Teams that fused teams and individuals, and teams that had the process of correcting each other, also showed good results.
