Kim Soo-hyun, Cheerful Weightlifting Bronze Medalist

[Asian Games] Kim Soo-hyun, Cheerful Weightlifting Bronze Medalist, “Please Show a Lot of Interest in Karate Too”

Wiped out the bad luck of finishing 4th in two consecutive Asian Games and won a bronze medal in the third competition.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, Kim Soo-hyun (28, Busan City Sports Council) was judged 'no lift' (failure) in a situation where he could have won a bronze medal by lifting 140kg in the third period of the clean and jerk.

On the morning of the day of his match at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, 'sweetheart' Pi Jae-yoon (21, Korea Karate Federation) stopped his medal challenge due to a somewhat disappointing decision.

An ominous energy seemed to be heading toward Kim Soo-hyun, but Kim Soo-hyun left the stadium smiling on the 5th.

A commemorative photo was also taken with her mother Lee Sang-ji and her lover Pi Jae-yoon.

Hanging around Kim Soo-hyun's neck was the bronze medal she desperately wanted. 바카라사이트

Kim Soo-hyun ranked third by lifting 105kg in snatch, 138kg in clean and jerk, and 243kg in total in the women's 76kg weightlifting group A competition at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Xiaoshan Sports Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, on the 5th.

Won Huei (26, Taiwan), who placed 4th, recorded a total of 242 kg (105 kg in snatch and 137 kg in jerk and jerk).

The moment that confirmed her bronze medal was also dramatic.

When Won Huei lifted 137 kg in the third stage of the clean and jerk, Kim Soo-hyun applied for 138 kg.

Kim Soo-hyun lifted the barbell, but two out of three judges ruled 'no lift' (failure).

Korea immediately appealed, and after a video review, the decision was overturned as 'Good Lift' (judgment).

Kim Soo-hyun cried loudly in the waiting room.

Kim Soo-hyun, whom we met after the awards ceremony, laughed cheerfully and said, “He cried all the time in the waiting room.”

He recalled, “It was a similar situation to the Tokyo Olympics, but this time I was confident that I had lifted the barbell clearly,” and “The coaches were also confident, so I took up the challenge without delay.”

On this day, my heart was shaken by the misfortune that befell my lover Pi Jae-yoon.

Pi Jae-yoon lost 2-4 to Iran's Bachman Asgari in the round of 16 of the Karate Gumite Men's 75kg class.

One second before the end of the game, they took a 2-1 lead with a huge score, but they immediately allowed a kick attack and lost the game 2-4.

Bachmann's technique was completed at the sound of the end of the game, and was recognized as a goal through video review.

Kim Soo-hyun raised his voice and said, "Obviously, the opponent attacked me after the game was over," and then pondered, "I was so bitter.

I also had an important game ahead of me, so I didn't express my emotions."

Pi Jae-yoon suppressed the pain and came to the weightlifting gym to cheer on Kim Soo-hyun.

Kim Soo-hyun said, “Of course I could hear Jae-yoon’s voice,” and wrapped his arms around the waist of Pi Jae-yoon, who was right next to him.

Besides Pi Jae-yoon, there were many people who supported Kim Soo-hyun.

Kim Soo-hyun said, "At first, I didn't know that the Chinese player (Liao Guifang) had given up on the clean and jerk competition.

Afterwards, not only our national team coach, but also the North Korean coach (Kim Chun-hee) said, 'The opportunity has come.'" “I came to my senses and focused until the end,” he said.

He also shared a secret story, saying, “I like (North Korean weightlifting hero) Lim Jeong-sim, and the North Korean coach calls me ‘Geumsim.’”

Kim Soo-hyun believes that the late Incheon Sports Council coach Kim Gyeong-sik, whom he always misses, is looking down on him from heaven.

People always gather around the bright and warm Kim Soo-hyun.

Kim Soo-hyun is a ‘Jincheon Athletes’ Village-recognized ‘fielder’.

Regardless of the sport, many athletes sent messages of support to Kim Soo-hyun.

The unfortunate memories of consecutively placing 4th in the 2014 Incheon and 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games and being disqualified at the Tokyo Olympics have faded from Kim Soo-hyun's memory amid the support of many people.

Kim Soo-hyun said, “I had trauma in the past, but I’m okay now.”

There are many people to whom he is grateful, but after the awards ceremony was over, Kim Soo-hyun met the two most precious people.

He presented a bronze medal to his mother, Lee Sang-ji, and held hands with his lover, Pi Jae-yoon.

The comment introducing the two was also Kim Soo-hyun-like.

“My mom is really pretty, right? I’m pretty because I look like her.

And I ask for your interest in karate!”
