Match schedule? It's not difficult!

Marine Boy Park Tae-hwan's swimming game is not to be missed. On the 21st, they won bronze medals in the men's freestyle 200m final and the men's freestyle 400m final on the 23rd. The freestyle 100m preliminaries are scheduled for 9 am on the 25th.

Gymnastics Fairy Son Yeon-jae will compete in the rhythmic gymnastics individual qualifiers on October 1 at Namdong Gymnasium. The rhythmic gymnastics consists of four events: ribbon, ball, club and hoop. There was a medal in gymnastics. On the 23rd, Lee Sang-wook won the bronze medal in the Men's Gymnastics Men's Final, and Yun Na-rae added another bronze medal in the Women's Individual Final. On the 24th, Yang Hak-sun will play in the final match of the gymnastics men's floor exercise, and will play against Li Segwang of North Korea. Gymnastics is the exercise of postponing body movements using machines. Express stability, difficulty, elegance and originality. Men's sports are Maru, Cheolbong, Parallel Bar, Massage, Ring, Chopping Board, and Women's Floor, Average Bar, Double Parallel Bar, Chopping Board.
Traditional medallion archery. The Republic of Korea breathes on a single arrow that cuts off the target. Archery won eight gold medals, including the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and the newly added compound. In the men's group qualification round (compound) held on the 23rd, Choi Yong-hee (2nd) and Yang Young-ho (5th) played in the men's individual qualification round. The women's team also took first place in the Compound Women's Qualifying Round and Choi Bo-min (1st) and Seok Ji-hyun (2nd) in the individual qualification round. The game is played every day until the 28th.
Wait here! There are two types of archery: a recurve bow and a compound bow. All archery we have seen in the meantime is recurve. Compound archery hasn't been an Olympic or Asian competition. However, attention has been increasing as it was adopted as a regular sport since the Incheon Asian Games. What is the difference between the two? As the name implies, the bow structure is different. If the recurve is a traditional bow, the compound is a mechanical bow. The recurve is heavy and sensitive, so the player's concentration is important. Thinking of the archery field in the meantime makes it easier to understand. Compounds, on the other hand, are lighter and smaller than mechanical arrowhead recurve arrows that are easy to learn for beginners with pulleys and sights.
In the finals of the badminton men's team where the opposition hero Lee Yong-dae played on the 23rd, he added a gold medal. The men's and women's mixed singles and doubles games will be held until the 29th. In addition, medal competitions will be held in 36 events including judo, shooting, cycling, and land. As of September 24, 2014, South Korea is ranked second overall with 61 medals, including 20 gold, 19 silver and 22 bronze.
Judo Qualification
Indeed, don't forget the seal of three children, Vichuon, Barame, and Chumyeon, the mascots of the Incheon Asian Games. The mascot of the convention has influenced the image of the competition. As the name suggests, the eldest son of the Incheon Asian Games, Bichuon, is, as the name suggests, 'the messenger of light shining hope on the whole world'. Was taken from. Why don't you enjoy the festival of autumn, wind, light and wind?
