North Korea’s women’s gymnastics team member An Chang-ok was caught on camera pretending not to see South Korea’s Yeo Seo-jeong as she tried to congratulate her.
On the 3rd (local time), the 2024 Paris Olympics gymnastics women’s vault finals were held at the Bercy Arena in Paris, France. Ahn Chang-ok was second in line, and Yeo Seo-jeong was seventh.
An Chang-ok, who played for the second time that day, happily hugged Bulgaria’s Valentina Georgieva as she returned to her seat after the match.
When Yeo Seong-jeong saw this, she got up from her seat to congratulate him, but Ahn Chang-ok passed her by and hugged the North Korean coach. Yeo Seong-jeong sat down again and smiled awkwardly with the coach sitting next to her.
The two athletes did not make it to the medal round that day. Ahn Chang-ok came in fourth, and Yeo Seo-jeong came in seventh. In particular, Yeo Seo-jeong was in poor condition after dislocating her shoulder right before the finals. Yeo Seo-jeong said, “I was too nervous, and I feel very sorry,” and “I think I was less confident because I got hurt while practicing before the match.”
Regarding Ahn Chang-ok ignoring her greeting, Yeo Seo-jeong said, “I tried to shake his hand because he was a fellow player, but I couldn’t because the timing was too late.” She added, “(Ahn Chang-ok) is a player who does well quietly.”
