400 people, including athletes and president Lee Ki-heung, are scheduled to enter the sports council, “We are preparing to strengthen our mental strength”

Ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, national team athletes will enlist in the Marine Corps and receive training to strengthen their mental strength.

According to the Korea Sports Council on the 6th, national team athletes in each sport will train at the Marine Corps facility in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do from the 18th to the 20th.

Approximately 400 people, including national team players as well as Korean Sports Council President Lee Ki-heung and other sports association executives, are scheduled to enter the facility.

Chairman Lee Ki-heung announced at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games conclusion press conference last October that he would conduct Marine Corps training in preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

At the time, Chairman Lee Ki-heung said, “Next year, we plan to go to the Marine Corps and have self-discipline training before the national team players enter the country. “I will do the same,” he said.

However, Chairman Lee Ki-heung's remarks did not garner sympathy and became the center of controversy, and he could not avoid criticism that Marine Corps camp training was an outdated idea.

An official from the Korea Sports Council said, “It is a 3-day, 2-night schedule, but a detailed training program has not yet been released. There are some negative comments saying that it is not appropriate for the times, but this means that the entire team should prepare mentally ahead of the Paris Olympics. “I prepared to strengthen my mental strength,” he said. 토토사이트
