There are 83 athletes representing Korea in the 2024 Paris Paralympics (Paralympics). Including 94 officials, a total of 177 people are on the Korean team. The Korea Paralympic Committee announced the finalized Paralympic team on the 31st. This is an increase of 18 from the 159 (86 athletes) at the Tokyo Games three years ago. Among the 17 sports participating in the Korean team, the
oldest is Kim Ok-geum (born March 9, 1960), an archery representative, and the youngest is Seo Min-gyu (born January 12, 2005), a boccia athlete. Both Kim Ok-geum and Seo Min-gyu were gold medalists at the Hangzhou Asian Para Games last year.
Korea is the absolute powerhouse in non-paralympic archery, but things are a little different at the Paralympics. Korea has won 16 gold medals in the Paralympics so far, ranking third after Britain (21) and the United States (20).
Instead, Korea is the country that has won the most gold medals in boccia, which can only be seen at the Paralympics. Korea has won gold medals in this event in 10 consecutive competitions from the 1988 Seoul Games to the 2021 Tokyo Games. Korea, which only
won two gold medals at the Tokyo Games three years ago, is determined to win at least five gold medals at this Games. Korea won double-digit gold medals in six consecutive competitions from the 1988 Seoul Games to the 2008 Beijing Games, but the number of gold medals has been decreasing since then. The
total number of gold medals at the Paris Paralympics was 549, which is about 1.7 times the number of gold medals at the Olympics (329). The Paralympics has more gold medals than the Olympics because the games are divided into grades according to the type and degree of disability.
After the Olympics, the cities that hosted the Olympics host the Paralympics, using Olympic facilities, and hosting the Paralympics in succession to the Olympics is a legacy left by the 1988 Seoul Games to global sports. 카지노사이트
