Femki Ball Wins the World Indoor Championships


FEMKI BALL WINS THE WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH A NEW WORLD RECORD IN THE WOMEN"S 400m


Tentoglu, the men"s long jumper, won the competition for the third time in a row after competing with rookie Purlani.


Femki Ball (24, Netherlands) broke the world record again and won the women"s 400m gold medal at the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships.


Ball crossed the finish line in 49.17 seconds in the women"s 400m final held at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, Scotland on the 3rd (Korean time).


The gap with Ricky Claver (Netherlands), who took second place at 50.16 seconds, was quite large.


49.17 seconds is also a new world record, 0.07 seconds shorter than Ball"s time of 49.24 on the 19th of last month. 


Last February, with a time of 49.26 seconds, she surpassed the 49.59 mark set by Djamila Kratochvilova in 1982 as a Czechoslovakian by 0.33 seconds, and changed the indoor women"s 400m record for the first time in 41 years.


Ball"s speed is gradually increasing, and she has won 1-3 in this event.


He became the athlete who holds all of the above records (49.17, 49.24, and 49.27).


Ball, who took second place at the 2022 Belgrade World Indoor Championships after Shone Miller-Uibo (Bahamas), also won her first personal World Indoor Championships gold medal on this day.


Ball"s main event is the 400m hurdles.


At the 2023 Budapest Outdoor World Championships, she became the women"s 400m hurdles champion.


Ball"s next goal is "Olympic gold".


Ball placed third in the women"s 400m hurdles at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.


Sydney McLaughlin (USA), the ‘best athlete of all time’, is holding on in the women’s 400m hurdles.


McLaughlin won both the Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Eugene World Championships, setting new world records.


At last year"s World Championships in Budapest, it was announced that he would participate in the 400m instead of the 400m hurdles, but he did not participate, saying, "I will concentrate on the Paris Olympics."


McLaughlin has yet to play an official match since July of last year.


Many track and field fans are looking forward to a real match between McLaughlin, who is quietly preparing for the Paris Olympics, and Ball, who has increased his speed since the indoor season.


There is also a possibility that Ball and McLaughlin will attempt the "400m hurdles and 400m parallel" at the Paris Olympics.


Ball, who won the World Indoor Championships by setting a new world record and taking home a record prize of $50,000 (about 67 million won) and a championship prize of $40,000 (about 53 million won), said in an interview with Reuters.


"The coach said, "“They encouraged me to break the world record by saying, ‘You can run faster,’ but honestly, I just wanted to take first place,” he said, laughing, adding, “I haven’t jumped over a hurdle in the last four weeks.


It’s really comfortable not having to jump over a hurdle.”


Karsten Barholm (Norway), the "men"s 400m hurdles world record holder" who competed in the men"s 400m finals, came in second place with 45.34 seconds, following Alexander Doom (Belgium) who ran 45.25 seconds.


Doom became the first Belgian to become the men"s 400m champion at the World Indoor Championships.


Grant Holloway (USA) set a new competition record of 7.29 seconds (previously 7.34 seconds) in the men"s 60m hurdles, achieving his second consecutive victory in the competition.


Hugues Fabrice Django (Burkina Faso) won the men"s triple jump by jumping 17m 53m.


Django, who brought Burkina Faso its first ever outdoor World Athletics Championships gold medal in Budapest last year, was also recorded as the first World Indoor Championships gold medalist from Burkina Faso.


In the men"s long jump, "active best" Miltiadis Tentoglu (Greece) competed with promising 2005-born Mattia Purlani (Italy) and succeeded in winning the competition for the third time in a row.


In the 1st to 6th periods, Tenkoglu and Purlani"s best record was the same at 8m22.


If the best time in the long jump is the same, the ranking is decided by the second best time.


Tentoglu"s second best record of the day was 8m 19, and Purlani"s record was 8m 10.


Josh Kerr (Great Britain), born in Scotland, took the top spot in the men"s 3,000m with a time of 7 minutes 42.98 seconds, supported by home fans.


Kerr won the men"s 1,500m at the Budapest Outdoor World Championships last year, beating Jacob Ingebrigtsen (Norway).


It was a result that was considered the biggest upset of the tournament at the time.


In this competition, where he entered as a "favorite", Kerr had the honor of becoming the first British athlete to win the men"s 3,000m at the World Indoor Championships.


In the women"s 60m final, Julien Alfred (St. Lucia) won the title with a time of 6.98 seconds, beating Eva Sverboda (Poland) with a time of 7.02 seconds by 0.02 seconds.


Alfred is the first athlete from Saint Lucia to reach the podium at the World Indoor Athletics Championships.


Men"s high jumper Woo Sang-hyuk (Yongin City Hall), who became the first Korean track and field World Indoor Championships champion at the 2022 Belgrade Games, will challenge for his second consecutive title at 8:50 pm on the 3rd, Korean time.

I think a better athlete is one who is good at both 500m and 1,000m.


Kim Min-seon (24, Uijeongbu City Hall), the "Queen of Faith and Deception", a leading figure in Korean women"s speed skating, returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 20th.

Kim Min-seon said, "As I prepared for this season, I wanted to achieve the best results at the World Championships.


Although there are some disappointments, I am proud to have achieved somewhat satisfactory results."


Kim Min-seon, who had a slight misstep on the last curve of the 500m race, said, “I just wanted to go as far as I could,” and added, “As it was the World Championships, I think I got impatient, knowingly or unknowingly, and it led to a mistake.


“It was a good experience,” said Kim Min-seon, who said, “As I got better at the 1,000m, I think my 500m record also improved.”


“I think a better athlete is one who is good at all of the events.


He strengthened his motivation for the 1,000m race, saying, "I will continue to challenge myself in the future."


In fact, Kim Min-seon suffered from boot replacement problems early this season.


Kim Min-seon said, "There were difficulties due to the boot issue at the beginning of this season.


It is not easy to adapt to new boots," but he resolutely said, "I don"t think too much about it because it is something that I have to overcome as a player."


Kim Min-seon said, “I plan to continue trying out new boots and choosing the best boots to prepare for the next season,” and revealed that she plans to first run on ice with existing boots until the 2024 ISU Sprint and All-Around World Championships to be held in Inzell, Germany next month.


Kim Min-seon said, "I knew very well that it would not be easy to maintain the first place this season.


I tried to let go of the pressure and enjoy the game," and added, "I am stimulated by many other good players.


There is a lot of room to move forward, so I will work harder."


“I think I have to try,” he pledged.

Youth Olympics Korean Winter Sports that Raise Hope

Shin Ji-a captures women

Youth Olympics Korean Winter Sports that Raise Hope... I"m Looking Forward to 2026

 

 


Shin Ji-ah and Kim Hyun-gyeom in figure skating gain valuable experience and make a leap forward, and "new signboards" such as sledding Soh Jae-hwan and snowboarding Chae-un Lee are recognized.


Korean winter sports stars, who dreamed of watching the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on TV, began to soar through the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics (hereinafter referred to as Gangwon 2024).


Korean teenage athletes unleashed their dreams at Gangwon 2024 held in Seolwon and Eunban, Gangwon-do, revealing the future of Korean winter sports.


Promising players who have gained valuable experience unanimously pledged to use this competition as a stepping stone to achieve results at the Senior Winter Olympics to be held two years later.


Snowboarding star Lee Chae-woon (Suri High School) lived up to expectations by winning a gold medal despite various unexpected factors.


Lee Chae-un, the next-generation star in men"s snowboarding, comfortably won the men"s slope start, his first event held on the 25th of last month, beating his competitors by a large margin.


In fact, slope starts are not Lee Chae-woon’s main sport.


However, there was no player who could follow Chaewoon Lee.


Lee Chae-woon injured his left ankle during training the next day and was unable to achieve his goal of winning three gold medals, but he showed off his overwhelming skills and raised expectations for a medal at the 2026 Milan/Cortina d"Ampezzo Winter Olympics.


Women"s halfpipe star Choi Ga-on (Sehwa Girls" Middle School), who was expected to lead the snowboarding medal hunt with Lee Chae-woon, unfortunately did not participate.


He injured his back right before the start of the competition and postponed his Olympic medal until 2026.


Hope was also found in sledding, which had not achieved much success since Yoon Seong-bin won the gold medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.


Jae-Hwan Jae (Sangji Daegwallyeong High School) won the gold medal in the men"s bobsleigh monobob (single-person) competition, beating his competitors by a long distance with a total time of 1 minute 48.63 seconds in the first and second periods.


Jaehwan Sohwan, a former track and field shot put athlete who switched to skeleton in his third year of middle school, is evaluated as having both strength and speed, and has grown into the next generation"s star through various international competitions.


A surprising prospect was born in freestyle skiing, which is considered a wasteland of Korean sports.


Lee Yun-seung (Song Gok-go) took the top spot in the men"s freestyle skiing dual mogul finals, beating Huff Porter (USA) 18-17.


He also won two medals in this competition, including winning a silver medal in the dual mogul mixed team competition with Yoon Shin-i (Bongpyeong High School).


Next-generation stars have emerged in the "biggest sports" short track and speed skating.


Joo Jae-hee (Han Gwanggo) won the gold medal in the short track men"s 1,500m final with a time of 2 minutes 21.906 seconds, beating China"s Zhang Xin-je (2 minutes 22.095 seconds).


Korea was initially expected to sweep multiple gold medals in short track, but the athletes were unable to overcome the pressure and tension and made repeated mistakes, resulting in performance below expectations.


However, through this competition, the players gained valuable experience and laid the foundation for a leap forward.


A short-distance ice speed star has also emerged, following in the footsteps of Lee Sang-hwa and Kim Min-seon (Uijeongbu City Hall).


Jeong Hee-dan (Seonsago) took second place in the women"s 500m speed skating with a time of 39.64 seconds, following Angel Dahlemann (39.28, Netherlands).


Figure skating women"s single Jia Shin (Youngdong Middle School) won a silver medal after fierce competition with her "rival" Mao Shimada (Japan).


He experienced the tension and pressure of the Olympic stage in advance and received the "vaccination shot" properly.


Ji-ah Shin made a big mistake in the free skating, including blowing one spin assignment due to a rotation problem, but she did not lose confidence, saying, "Today"s mistake will be a great nutrient."


Kim Yu-seong (Pyeongchon Middle School), who competed with Shin Ji-ah, and the ice dance team of Kim Ji-ni and Lee Na-mu (Gyeonggi Provincial Skating Federation) each took 4th place.


Men"s singles Kim Hyun-gyeom (Han Gwang-go) proudly won the gold medal and established himself as the next generation player to succeed Cha Jun-hwan (Korea University).

Woo Ha-ram, Possibility of Medal at Paris Olympics

 

Woo Ha-ram, “I’m in 100% Physical Condition, Possibility of Medal at Paris Olympics Confirmed in Doha”

 


Struggling for two years due to a back injury and its aftereffects.


“Recovery to the point where there is no discomfort in training.”


As you regain your health, your confidence grows.


Woo Ha-ram (25, Korea Sports Promotion Foundation), a Korean diving star who has completely overcome the aftereffects of a back injury, is looking at an Olympic medal again.


Woo Ha-ram, who boarded a flight to Doha, Qatar, at 05:05 on the 28th to participate in the 2024 World Aquatics Championships said, "I am now completely free from the injury," and "I felt anxious until the Hangzhou Asian Games last fall.


“But now I’m in very good shape.


I didn’t feel any discomfort while training.”


Woo Ha-ram, who ranked 4th in the men"s 3m springboard at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the highest ever in Korean diving, has suffered from severe sluggishness since then.


The cause was a back injury.


He missed the 2022 Budapest World Championships, and at the 2023 Fukuoka Games, he fell to 19th place in the 3m springboard and missed out on a ticket to the semifinals, where he ranked 18th.


Woo Ha-ram began his rebound by winning a bronze medal in the 1m springboard at the Hangzhou Asian Games last fall and a silver medal in the men"s synchro 3m springboard paired with Jae-kyung Lee (Incheon Metropolitan City Hall).


He pondered, “I suffered from injuries and aftereffects for almost two years.


Of course, my performance was also disappointing,” and “As I suffered repeated injuries and poor performance, my confidence dropped significantly.”


However, Woo Haram was not frustrated.


Woo Ha-ram said, "With the help of many people, I got through this difficult time, and now I have regained both my health and confidence.


I will compete in the Doha World Championships with the healthiest body and mind since the Tokyo Olympics."


At the Doha World Championships, which opens on February 2, Woo Ha-ram will compete in the 3m springboard, men"s synchronized 3m springboard, and mixed team competition.


His most important event is the 3m springboard, where qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympics is at stake.


Diving qualifications for the Paris Olympics are distributed to the National Olympic Committee (NOC), not to individual athletes.


If Woo Ha-ram advances to the 3m springboard finals (top 12) at the Doha World Championships, Korean diving will virtually secure one spot for the Paris Olympics.


The Korea Swimming Federation is likely to grant tickets to Paris to athletes who have qualified for the Olympics in Korea.


In fact, advancing to the finals of the 3m springboard world championships is not a difficult task for Woo Ha-ram when he is healthy.


Woo Ha-ram said, "Ahead of last year"s Fukuoka Games, I was unable to do enough technical training due to the aftereffects of an injury.


Now, I have completed my training well.


Once I advance to the finals and secure a spot at the Paris Olympics, I will aim for a higher ranking." said.


He set his body clock to the "Paris Olympics".


Woo Ha-ram said, "I"m 100% physically, but not 100% technically.


I"m preparing to reach 100% technically this summer when the Paris Olympics are held.


Winning a medal at the Paris Olympics is my life"s goal.


After recovering from the injury, I trained even during my vacation.


I will come to Doha and check the possibility of winning a medal at the Paris Olympics.”


When leaving Incheon International Airport to compete in the Fukuoka World Championships in July of last year, Woo Haram said with a stern expression, "Because of the injury, my training is too short.


To be honest, it is difficult to expect good results."


Before leaving for Doha, Woo Ha-ram"s expression was bright.


He explained, “It’s because I trained as much as I wanted to.”


Expectations for Korean diving for Woo Ha-ram are also growing again.
