<Reporter> As
usual, after having breakfast together while watching a drama, the four players who went out on the court split the net between them and played a friendship match for the bronze medal.
As the fateful rally continued between colleagues who had eaten in one pot, Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong took the lead from the beginning and ended up winning the bronze medal with a 2-0 victory.
Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong, who gave a brief cheer, crossed the court and hugged Lee So-hee and Shin Seung-chan warmly.
Both the winner and the loser said they were sorry for each other, and all of them had tears in their eyes.
[Kim So-young/Badminton National Team: I know it's worse to say things like that without me knowing (I'm sorry), but I think the word sorry came out first because I know how hard we have practiced with each other.]
[Shin Seung-chan/Badminton national team: I'm sorry that you couldn't be happy because of us, but I hope you enjoy it enough. I congratulate you
from the bottom of
my heart.] In the
men's 25m rapid-fire pistol shooting, Dae-yoon Han, who first stepped on the Olympic stage at the age of 33, was swaying at the last minute and missed the medal he had grabbed.
After a close fight to the shoot-off, he finished 4th.
Han Dae-yoon, who was on the verge of ending his life four years ago due to a tremor caused by a nervous disorder, showed an indomitable spirit and recorded the highest ranking in the history of a Korean player in this event.
