MBC commentator Lee Dae-hoon, who was in charge of broadcasting the Taekwondo event, drew attention by saying, “I think all four participants will win gold medals.”
On the 9th (Korean time), in the final of the women’s 57kg class taekwondo competition held at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Kim Yu-jin (24, Ulsan City Sports Association) defeated Nahid Kiyani Chande (Iran). Following Park Tae-jun (20, Kyunghee University) in the men’s 58kg class the day before, she won the gold medal for the second consecutive day.
Lee Dae-hoon previously told Park Tae-jun, “When I first saw you, you were a cute and small ‘baby.’ I thought you would become a good player, but I didn’t know you would grow this quickly. I was really immersed in the game. I really congratulate you on your historic gold medal.”
He praised Kim Yu-jin, saying, ”I think she approached it with the mindset that ’no one is behind her.’ She did very well and deserves the gold medal.”
At the end of the broadcast, commentator Lee Dae-hoon expressed his hope that all four players would achieve good results in the remaining two games, saying, “I think all four players will win gold medals.”
The Korean Taekwondo team now has only two events left, the men’s 80kg class and the women’s over 67kg class. In the men’s 80kg class on the 9th, Seo Geon-woo, born in 2003, will compete. Seo won the World Taekwondo Federation (WT) World Grand Prix Final held in December last year.
Da-Bin Lee, who will compete in the over 67kg weight class held on the 10th, will compete. Born in 1996, this athlete won a silver medal in the over 67kg weight class at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021.
As Korean Taekwondo star Lee Dae-hoon expressed his expectations of winning a gold medal in the remaining matches, attention is focused on whether he will be able to win the remaining two matches and repeat the feat of winning four gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
