Kim Je-deok (20, Yecheon County Office), a male archer who was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the individual event, sang of hope rather than regret. He said, “It’s disappointing, but I’ve grown a lot. I’m satisfied,” and promised, “I’ll do better at the 2028 LA Olympics.”
Kim Je-deok (20, Yecheon County Office) lost to Brady Ellison (USA) with a set score of 0-6 in the quarterfinals of the men’s individual archery event at the 2024 Paris Olympics held in Les Invalides, Paris, France on the 4th (Korean time). Kim Je
-deok, who won the mixed and team gold medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and the team gold medal at this competition, was challenging for the only ‘individual gold medal’ that he has not yet achieved, but failed to make it past the quarterfinals.
Kim Je-deok, whom we met at the mixed zone after the game, said, “I am satisfied that I overcame many obstacles and made it to the quarterfinals,” and calmly expressed his feelings, saying, “I will improve on the areas that I lacked in this competition and show more calm and improved skills next time.” Although Kim Je-deok has
passed the Korean Olympic archery team selection, which is considered the most difficult, twice, he is particularly struggling in the individual Olympic events.
He said, “I still have a lot to learn in the individual events,” and added, “However, I have grown a little more since the last Tokyo Olympics, and I definitely felt that I have grown more during this competition. I have also gained the strength to push forward more confidently when times are tough.”
Kim Je-deok, who has already competed in two Olympics, was born in 2004 and will still be young at 24 years old at the LA Olympics in four years. He said, “My goal is to compete in five Olympics,” and added, “There will be many variables such as my condition in the future, but I will confidently move forward toward that goal.” 바카라게임
