“We would like to applaud Yunseo Lee for doing her best at every moment.”
The KBS commentary team said this when Yunseo Lee (Gyeongbuk Provincial Office) showed her fighting spirit despite injury during the preliminary round of the women’s team gymnastics event at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the Bercy Arena in Paris, France on the 29th.
On this day, Lee Yoon-seo competed in the team preliminary round, which included the balance beam, floor exercise, vault, and uneven bars. Lee Yoon-seo, who had suffered an ankle injury before the Olympics, worsened her injury while performing the floor exercise following the balance beam event. Yeo Hong-chul, a professor at Kyunghee University and a silver medalist at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, felt sorry for Lee Yoon-seo, who was trying to smile while enduring the pain during the competition, saying, “My ankle hurts so much right now, but I can’t show my pain.”
In the following vault event, Lee Yoon-seo performed a powerful approach, twisted her body in the air, and landed. Lee Yoon-seo finished the final move with her arms raised, her eyes reddening. The female professor said, “Lee Yoon-seo usually does half a turn more,” and “But she has an ankle injury.” After seeing Lee Yoon-seo’s expression, she trailed off, saying, “How much must it have hurt?”
Lee Yoon-seo, who was supported by the coaching staff and moved toward the team, received encouragement from her fellow athletes saying, “Well done,” “Well done,” and then received treatment for her injury. Professor Yeo said, “This is the charm of the team event,” but when she saw Lee Yoon-seo tightly shutting her eyes and enduring the pain, she said, “My heart aches too.”
The women’s gymnastics team failed to advance to the finals, finishing 12th with a combined score of 152.496 points in four events in the team event. However, they made a record of competing in the Olympic team event for the first time in 36 years since the 1988 Seoul Olympics. 카지노사이트
