South Korea fencing team members Koo Bon-gil (from left), Oh Sang-wook, Park Sang-won, and Do Kyung-dong are delighted after receiving their gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics men's sabre team awards ceremony held at the Grand Palais in Paris, France on August 1 (Korean time).
Privates Do Kyung-dong (25) and Cho Young-jae (25), members of the Armed Forces Athletic Corps who won medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, each received a 4-night, 5-day award leave.
According to the Ministry of National Defense on the 9th, the commander of the Armed Forces Athletic Corps recently gave the two privates a 4-night, 5-day award leave along with a commendation from the
unit commander. Article 13 of the current 'Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on the Status and Service of Military Personnel' (Basic Military Service Act) stipulates that 'commanders of each unit may grant an award leave of up to 10 days to soldiers with exemplary achievements.
A military official explained, “The commander of the Armed Forces Sports Corps grants a commendation leave to soldiers participating in international competitions regardless of their performance,” and “they also award a commendation from the commander of the unit.” On the
1st (Korean time), Private Do of the fencing sabre team won the gold medal by joining forces with Koo Bon-gil (35, National Sports Promotion Agency), Oh Sang-wook (28), and Park Sang-won (24, both Daejeon City Hall).
The national team's hidden card, Private Do, was brought in as a surprise late in the game and played an active role, leading the team to first place. With this, Korea achieved the feat of winning three consecutive championships in the men's sabre team event.
Private Cho won the silver medal by shooting 25 points in the men's 25m rapid-fire pistol final on the 5th. Private Cho is the first Korean shooter to win a medal in the 25m rapid-fire pistol. If you win a medal at the Olympics, you can receive military service benefits. Accordingly, Private Do chose early discharge, but Private Cho chose full discharge. Private Do, who was scheduled to be discharged in October, is expected to become a civilian around early September once administrative measures are completed. He expressed his ambition to train fencing more diligently in society through early discharge. Private Cho's father, who is scheduled to be discharged on the 19th of next month, was discharged as a warrant officer. Private Cho plans to spend time with his fellow soldiers and coaches in the unit and finish the rest of his military service. 카지노사이트
