Ban Hyo-jin, who set a new competition record in the finals and made it to the finals!

The momentum in the final was even scarier.

From the first series until the medal was decided, it remained in first place.

At one point, he was chased by a half-point, but Ban Hyo-jin beat all 24 shots in the final round, putting them within the 10-point mark.

The final score was 253.6! It was a new world junior record.

[Ban Hyo-jin / 2nd winner of National Sports Festival: It was a bit burdensome because I know how important physical education high school values the National Sports Festival, but I think I can put it down because the results came out well because I just did what I needed to do]

In addition to the team event, he won two gold medals and washed away the sadness of the last tournament, but the weight of the "youngest gold medal, the 100th gold medal" was heavier than expected.

The amount of training was inevitably insufficient due to the 180-degree change in name value since the Olympics, and it was difficult to control my condition.

To make matters worse, Ban Hyo-jin scored high in the final national team selection match this year due to a dress test, but it didn't take long for Ban Hyo-jin to regain his skills.

Ban Hyo-jin is likely to wear the national flag next year as he finishes third in the national team selection match.

Ban Hyo-jin, who proved himself to be the youngest Olympic gold medalist at the National Sports Festival, now prepares for gold shots on the international stage once again as he gains experience.
