Participating in the Olympics for the first time... Rapid-fire pistol and 10m air pistol sortie “Attractive to a rapid-fire pistol that shoots at five targets quickly”
Cho Young-jae (25, Armed Forces Athletic Corps), who loved looking at the sky since he was young, has recently fallen in love with the fun of focusing on a pistol scope instead of a telescope.
Cho Young-jae, whose main sport is rapid-fire pistol shooting, which requires shooting five targets at a distance of 25 meters at high speed, achieved his dream of competing in the Olympics for the first time in his life by causing a stir by taking first place overall at the Paris Olympic team selection competition. 카지노사이트
Jo Young-jae, who won twice out of a total of five representative selection competitions, beat even Song Jong-ho (34, IBK Industrial Bank), the 'Korean rapid-fire pistol leader' and idol, in the results of adding up the results from the four competitions.
Cho Young-jae, who confidently won the right to participate in the Paris Olympics in the two-shot rapid fire pistol event by placing first, said at the media day held at the Jincheon National Team Athletes' Village in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province on the 27th, "I try to think that the Olympics are no different from other competitions.
I plan to come with the same peace of mind" He said.
Cho Young-jae, who prepared for the national team selection competition with his colleagues in the unit without much expectations, said that after he actually passed, he felt more dazed than happy.
Korean rapid fire pistol shooting has yet to win a medal at the Olympics.
Cho Young-jae, who will be promoted to sergeant next month, will be able to complete his military service earlier than his original discharge date of September 19 of this year if he wins a medal at the Olympics.
Jo Young-jae smiled shyly, saying, “No matter how little time I have left before my discharge, if I win a medal, I will be discharged right away.”
Senior Song Jong-ho, who is competing with him at the Paris Olympics, is Cho Young-jae's idol.
Jo Young-jae said, “Jong-ho helps me train just by shooting with him.
It's amazing what you can achieve while keeping everything the same at any time.
“I really have a lot to learn,” he said.
That’s why his goal at the Paris Olympics is not to beat athletes from other countries, but to surpass his senior Song Jong-ho first.
Cho Young-jae said, “I don’t have much experience in international competitions.
I think I just need to beat Jongho.
