Hangzhou Asian Games Champion North Korea An Chang-ok, South-North Competition with Yeo Seo-jeong in Finals.

Yeo Seo-jeong (22, Jecheon City Hall) has a chance to win a medal for the second consecutive Olympics.

On the 28th (local time), Yeo Seo-jeong participated in the preliminary round of the women's team gymnastics event at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the Bercy Arena in Paris, France, and earned an average of 14.183 points in her first and second attempts in her main event, the vault. 카지노사이트

Yeo Seo-jeong secured a ticket to the finals, where eight people compete, by placing fourth in the preliminaries.

Yeo Seo-jeong, who became the first Korean female gymnast to win an Olympic medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics by winning a bronze medal in the vault, has raised her dream of winning a medal for the second consecutive time.

North Korea's An Chang-ok (21) also tied with Yeo Seo-jeong and joined the finals in fifth place in the preliminaries, where they will compete against each other for a medal.

The International Gymnastics Federation places the athlete with the higher score higher when the average scores are the same.

Yeo Seo-jeong scored 14.400 points in her first attempt, pushing Ahn Chang-ok, who scored 14.300 points in her second attempt, to fifth place.

While Yeo Seo-jeong competed in the World Championships last year, which was a team event for the Paris Olympics, Ahn Chang-ok won the vault at the Hangzhou Asian Games held during the same period, emerging as a new rival.

Women's gymnastics will select 24 finalists for the individual all-around finals and 8 finalists for each of the 4 events based on the team event scores.

In her first attempt, Yeo Seo-jeong added 9,000 points to her execution score by performing a technique with a difficulty of 5.4 points, earning a high score of 14,400 points.

In her second attempt, she added 8,966 points to her execution score by performing a technique with a difficulty of 5.0 points, earning 13,966 points.

The difficulty level was 0.4 points lower, so Yeo Seong-jeong's landings on her first and second attempts were clean, but her overall score went down.

The returning gymnastics queen Simone Biles (USA) advanced to the finals with an overwhelming first place score of 15.300 points.

Yeo Seong-jeong's medal challenge will take place at the Bercy Arena on August 3rd at 11:20 PM, Korean time.

The women's gymnastics team, led by Yeo Seo-jeong, consisting of Lee Yun-seo (Gyeongbuk Provincial Office), Shin Sol-i (Gangwon Provincial Sports Council), Eom Do-hyeon (Jeju Samdasoo), and Lee Da-yeong (Korea National Sport University), earned a combined score of 152.496 points in four events in the Olympic team preliminaries for the first time in 36 years, placing last among the 12 participating countries.

The Korean women's gymnastics team made a dramatic last-minute return to the Olympic team event since the 1988 Seoul Games at last year's World Championships.

Although the female athletes who left a distinct mark on Korean gymnastics did not achieve their goal of climbing one step higher, they found meaning in the fact that five athletes enjoyed experiencing the Olympic stage without injury.
