[Asian Games] Roller Jeong Cheol-won Smiles Brightly... I Missed the Gold by ‘0.002 Seconds’

Jeong Cheol-won, "I'm proud of Choi Kwang-ho, who won... I'll try again for the gold medal tomorrow in the relay."

Just 0.002 seconds. Roller skater Jeong Cheol-won (27, Andong City Hall) lost to national team senior Choi Gwang-ho (30, Daegu City Hall) in the 1,000m final of the men's sprint final at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. 온라인카지노

Jeong Cheol-won was unable to win the gold medal in the finals at the Qiantang Roller Sports Center in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 1st by a short time gap that was difficult to estimate, and ended up taking the silver medal.

Jeong Cheol-won's race time is 1 minute 29.499 seconds, and Choi Kwang-ho's is 1 minute 29.497 seconds.

How does it feel to miss out on the gold medal by 0.002 seconds in a competition that has been delayed for a year and has been waiting for five years?

Even if you sit down and shed tears or scream in anger, your regret will not go away.

But Jeong Cheol-won was different.

He smiled brightly while holding the Taegeukgi with Choi Kwang-ho, who beat him to win the gold medal.

Jeong Cheol-won smiled brightly even in the joint reporting area (mixed zone).

He said, "I am very happy that a Korean player came in first and second place.

Kwang-ho Choi is a teammate on the national team and a good competitor, and we worked together to prepare for this competition.

I am proud of my brother who won."

In fact, this is not the first time that Jeong Cheol-won has missed out on the joy of winning.

Even though he crossed the finish line first in the men's 1,000m sprint at last year's World Championships, he was disqualified due to a foul call and was unable to win the gold medal.

Jeong Cheol-won said, "That's why I prepared harder for this competition. I missed the gold medal this time, but it's okay. I

have one more chance to challenge tomorrow."

Jeong Cheol-won and Choi Kwang-ho will compete in the men's 3,000m relay held at the same venue on the 2nd and challenge for the gold medal again.

Perhaps the men's relay may be Jeong Cheol-won's final challenge for the Asian Games gold medal.

This is because there is a possibility that roller skating will not be adopted as an official event at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Games.

Jeong Cheol-won said, “I prepared with the determination that this would be my last Asian Games,” and she pledged, “I will continue today’s momentum and win tomorrow’s game.”
