A total of six historical competitions between South Korea and North Korea will be held in weightlifting at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games starting on the 30th.

North Korea's weightlifting team, which once threatened China and showed off its might as a weightlifting powerhouse, will appear on the international stage for the first time in four years through the Hangzhou Asian Games.

The most recent international competition North Korea participated in was the 2019 Pattaya World Championships. 카지노사이트

The names of 'Olympic gold medalists' who are familiar to Korean weightlifting fans, such as Lim Jeong-sim and Eom Yun-cheol, are not on the list of athletes participating in this Asian Games (14 people).

However, Lim Jeong Sim's younger sister Lim will compete in the women's 64kg class at this event, aiming for her second consecutive Asian Games title.

Even North Korean athletes with no experience in international competitions view Korean weightlifting as something to be wary of.

From the first day (30th) of the Hangzhou Asian Games weightlifting competition, South Korea's Yoo Won-ju (Busan City Sports Council) and North Korea's Kang Hyeong-young and Ri Su-yeon will compete together in the women's 55kg class.

On October 1st, Korea's Bae Moon-soo (Gyeongbuk Development Corporation) and Lee Sang-yeon (Suwon City Hall) will compete with Lee Won-ju in the men's 67kg class, and on the 2nd, in the 64kg class, Han Ji-an (Daejeon Metropolitan Sports Council) will compete with Lim Eunsim.

Park Joo-hyo (Goyang City Hall) in the men's 73kg class will face North Korea's Oh Geum-taek and Park Jeong-ju on October 3.

On October 5, Kim Soo-hyun (Busan City Sports Council), who is aiming for the gold medal, is checked by North Korea's Chun-hee Chun-hee and Seong Guk-hyang, and on the same day, Won Jong-beom (Gangwon Provincial Office) competes with Ro Gwang-yeol for the medal in the men's 96 kg class.

Among the North Korean weightlifters participating in this competition, the most eye-catching athlete is Rim Eun-sim.

Lim Jeong-sim won a gold medal in the 69kg class at the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.

Her older sister, Lim Jeong-sim, who was already called North Korea's weightlifting hero at the time, achieved the 'sister gold medal' by reaching the top of the women's 75kg class.

She also placed second in the 64kg class at the 2019 Pattaya World Championships, and Lim Eun-sim is aiming for a win in her first international competition in four years.

In the Hangzhou Asian Games weightlifting, there are 7 weight classes for men (61 kg, 67 kg, 73 kg, 81 kg, 96 kg, 109 kg, and over 109 kg) and 7 weight classes for women (49 kg, 55 kg). A total of 14 gold medals were awarded in the 59kg class, 64kg class, 76kg class, 87kg class, and over 87kg class).

There are 14 participants from Korea.

Korea, which suffered the humiliation of no gold twice in a row at the 2014 Incheon and 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games, expects to win at least one gold medal in Hangzhou.

Since Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Jang Mi-ran, who recently visited Hangzhou, won the women's heavyweight title in 2010, Korean weightlifting has not produced an Asian Games champion.

This year, ‘Rose Kids’ Kim Soo-hyun will challenge for the gold medal.

Kim Soo-hyun repeatedly ranked fourth in Incheon in 2014 and Jakarta and Palembang in 2018.

However, she is showing off her top-class skills in Asia in the women's 76kg class, including winning the Jinju Asian Weightlifting Championships in May this year.

Pi Jae-yoon, representative of the men's 75kg category of Karate Kumite, a 'lover' who is competing in the Asian Games together, will also compete on October 5th, the same day as Kim Soo-hyun.

Kim Soo-hyun accepts this ‘amazing coincidence’ as a good omen.

‘Post Jang Mi-ran’ Park Hye-jung (Goyang City Hall) is also a strong candidate for a medal.

In the women's 87kg and over class where Park Hye-jeong is competing, world record holder Li Wenwen (China) is holding on.

However, Park Hye-jung won the World Weightlifting Championships held on September 17 by lifting 124 kg in snatch, 165 kg in clean and jerk, and 289 kg in total.

At that time, Li Wen-Won repeatedly failed at 130 kg in the first and second snatch trials, and she abstained from standing on the platform anymore.

Looking at her record and history, Park Hye-jung is expected to compete with 'senior' Son Young-hee (Busan City Sports Council) for her silver medal.

However, if Li Wen-Won has not yet recovered, she could be a gold medal candidate for Park Hye-Jeong.

In the men's division, Jin Yun-seong (Goyang City Hall) and Jang Yeon-hak (Asan City Hall) in the 109 kg class and Won Jong-beom (Gangwon Provincial Office) in the 96 kg class are considered medal candidates.

Rebound Coach Yang-Hyeon Kang, Basketball Team

[Asian Games] ‘Rebound’ Coach Yang-Hyeon Kang: “What if There is No One Else to Play?… Everything is Ready”

Coach Kang Yang-hyeon of the 3-on-3 national basketball team, "Think of all the variables... educate yourself on fouls, etc. in advance"


Dong-hyun Kim "If I win a gold medal, I'll brag to my father"... Coach Kim Seung-gi only won a silver medal.


“What if there is no one else to play like then? We prepared by taking all such situations into consideration.”


Everyone now knows that Coach Kang Yang-hyun experienced the most extreme situation in a basketball game. 온라인카지노사이트


Busan Jungang High School, led by Coach Kang, participated in the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament.


There were 6 players.


Even then, one person was injured, so the remaining five players made it to the finals without a single replacement.


In the fourth quarter of the final, two players were ejected and a strange situation emerged where three players faced Yongsan High School, the strongest team of the time.


The story of coach Kang and the players, who ended in a 63-89 defeat, was made into the movie 'Rebound' by director Jang Hang-jun and became widely known.


Coach Kang’s new challenge is the Hangzhou Asian Games.


Coach Kang, Seo Myeong-jin (Hyundai Mobis), Lee Won-seok (Samsung), Lee Doo-won (KT), and Kim Dong-hyun (KCC) formed a 3-on-3 basketball team and traveled to Hangzhou, China on the 22nd.


Coincidentally, 3-on-3 basketball has a maximum limit of 4 players.


This is because it is not a sport in which multiple players alternate like 'mainstream' 5-on-5 basketball, which registers 12 players.


Just like 12 years ago, there is only one candidate player.


If one player is injured, the remaining players cannot be replaced and must play the game from beginning to end, which involves intense physical fighting.


Director Kang Yang-hyun also said that he would like to avoid such an unfortunate incident.


But now we have the luxury of preparing for such situations.


Coach Kang said in a phone call with Yonhap News on the 24th, "I am thinking about all variables. I have


thought about and trained for even the situation where three players are playing.


I can accept that and play the game."


The category of ‘variables’ considered by Director Kang includes many situations other than unexpected injuries.


In particular, Coach Kang has been paying attention to help professional basketball players who have only played 5-on-5 basketball quickly adapt to the characteristics of 3-on-3 basketball and the tendencies of referees.


Coach Kang also knows the disappointment of losing the national team at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games just before winning the championship.


At that time, 4.4 seconds before the end of regular time in the final against China, Kim Nak-hyun (Sangmu) committed a foul on the opposing team's Hwang Wen-wei, who was attempting an outside shot, and allowed two free throws, tying the score again and allowing a reversal in overtime.


Nak-Hyun Kim's defensive move could be considered a foul in 5-on-5 basketball, but it was even more disappointing because such defenses occur frequently in 3-on-3 basketball, which allows for more rough physical fights.


Coach Kang said, “I educated the players a lot about fouls,” and added, “Also, in 3-on-3 basketball, there is no coach on the bench.


The players have to make their own decisions, so I tried to provide a lot of guidance in managing the game.”


At the same time, he pointed out that there are many differences between 5-on-5 and 3-on-3 basketball in actual games.


Coach Kang said, "There is no time to catch your breath.


The attack time is 12 seconds, so we have to solve it faster." He explained.


The national team will take its first step toward the gold medal with its first match against Iran on the court of Huzhou Deqing Geographic Information Park near Hangzhou on the 25th.


‘Primary goal’ is to advance to the quarterfinals.


Coach Kang said, "I've been coaching the 3-on-3 basketball team for three years, and this is my first time attending the Asian Games.


When I came here, there were a lot of players in the athletes' village, and this environment itself was my first time," adding, "It's the same for the players.


It's everyone's first experience, so it's a good experience."


“I hope that if we take care of the results, it will help all of us in our lives in the future,” he said.


The ‘player to watch’ that Coach Kang picks is Kim Dong-hyun.


Kim Dong-hyeon (190cm), the son of coach Kim Seung-gi, who leads Goyang Sono, is an ‘inexperienced player’ who has yet to have a standout season on the professional stage.


However, like his father's active years, there were evaluations that he was suitable for 3-on-3 basketball as his physique was solid and he showed confidence in individual attacks.


In 5-on-5 basketball, there is a lot of defense and the court is narrow, so detailed movements and movements that utilize teammates are important.


On the other hand, 3-on-3 basketball has a lot of space.


Kim Dong-hyun is excited to use this space to attack to his heart's content without interference from defenders.


Kim Dong-hyun said, "Offense has been my specialty since I was an amateur.


I grew up hearing people say I'm fearless.


The 3-on-3 defense is rough, so there are times when I'm pushed to the outskirts, but I'm not like that."


He added, "My brothers know that I am aggressive, so they push my attack.


They jokingly said that I should score 12 out of 21 points.


If I attack like I'm half crazy, I think I will get good results."


Kim Dong-hyun said, “I never thought that I wouldn’t do well because someone blocked me,” and showed confidence in 1-on-1 attacks in particular.


He went on to say that once he wins the gold medal, he will brag about it to his father.


Coach Kim Seung-gi does not have a gold medal in the Asian Games.


He only won a silver medal at the 1994 Hiroshima Games.

Professional Basketball Coach Jeon Hee-cheol of Seoul SK

SK Coach Jeon Hee-cheol "Kim Seon-hyung and Ahn Young-jun Will Run Hrd... 5 Fast Breaks Each"

‘Beginner Command Tower’ Director Kim Joo-seong “DB revival is my homework… I will build a third mountain fort”

Professional basketball coach Jeon Hee-cheol of Seoul SK, who narrowly missed winning the championship, set his goal for the new season to be 'five fast breaks in every game.' 카지노사이트탑

On the 14th, coach Jeon met with reporters who accompanied the training camp in Irvine, California, USA and said, "The goal is to score more than 5 fast breaks per game on average," and added, "(Kim) Seon-hyung and (Ahn) Young-jun are the best."

I will run hard.

“I told (Oh) Se-geun to play,” he said.

Coach Jeon, who achieved championship and runner-up finishes in the past two seasons, said, “There are so many things to consider in the regular league.

“Still, if we get in the top 4, we will be able to advance to the championship game,” he expressed confidence.

SK, who won the 2021-2022 season, fought fiercely all the way to the 7th game in last season's championship game, but unfortunately failed to achieve the championship for the second year in a row.

SK, which succeeded in recruiting Oh Se-geun, the best big man in professional basketball, from the 2022-2023 season champion Anyang Cheongkwanjang (formerly KGC Ginseng Corporation) this summer, is considered a strong candidate for the championship in the new season.

This is because last season's regular league Most Valuable Player (MVP) Kim Seon-hyung is still alive, and forward Ahn Young-jun, who is strong in offense and defense, is scheduled to take the court in the new season after completing his military service.

Coach Jeon said, "I honestly feel burdened when I hear stories like that.

I have to open the lid to know." He added, "After the opening game at home in the first round, it is 10 consecutive away games.

We also have to deal with the East Asian Super League (EASL) in the middle."

Like coach Jeon, coach Kim Joo-sung, who was a star representing professional basketball during his active career and then transformed into a head coach, is leading the team and completing an overseas training schedule.

Coach Kim of Wonju DB, who trains in Kobe and Kawasaki, Japan, told local reporters on the 13th, "I fight every day because I feel like I can't disappoint the fans," and added, "I have a lot of shortcomings as a novice coach, but I trust the players and look forward to the opening game."

Coach Kim, who only played in DB for 16 years as a player, retired in 2018 and returned to his former team as a coach in 2019.

In January of this year, after former coach Lee Sang-beom resigned due to poor performance and health problems, he led the team as an acting manager, and last season.

Appointed as official commander in April.

DB finished the 2022-2023 regular season in 7th place (22 wins, 32 losses).

Coach Kim, who said, "DB's revival is our homework," said, "Every team has good times and bad times," and added, "I will go with the players with the belief that they can move up.

The first year will start with spring basketball and I will challenge for the top again.

"He expressed his ambition.

He continued, “I now understand why all the directors have tired faces,” and “He is the director because he takes responsibility for even the smallest details.”

Coach Kim expressed his expectations for the two big men who are the pillars of the team.

Coach Kim said, "Kang Sang-jae's skills have improved to the point where he can aim for MVP this year, and Kim Jong-gyu now just needs to look up.

When he returns from the Hangzhou Asian Games, I will personally help him."

He added, "When DB was in its glory days, DB Fortress was completed twice.

This time, we want to build a third fortress."
