At the same time, Paul Ahn said, “If you think about it differently, it means that the condition on the day of the game is that important. “Right now, I’m just focusing on making sure I’m in top condition on game day.” [Baul Ahn](https://network-4727457.mn.co/posts/50506385), who will compete in the men's 66kg class at the Paris Olympics, will attempt to become the first Korean judo player to win a medal at three consecutive Olympics. An Baul won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Meanwhile, Jang Seong-ho (46), coach of the national judo team, was the only Korean judo player to participate in the Olympics three times in a row. Through this Paris Olympics, Paul Ahn and Kim Won-jin (32) in the men's 60kg class will be named as Olympic athletes for the third consecutive time. Coach Jang, who has participated in three consecutive competitions since the 2000 Sydney Games, won a silver medal at the 2004 Athens Games. Kim Won-jin does not have an Olympic medal yet. Paul An said, “I am proud of participating in the Olympics for the third time in a row. He is always grateful that he can continue to compete against world-class athletes while representing his country. “I will prepare hard to show my best performance at the Paris Olympics,” he said. If Paul Ahn, who won the World Championships (2015), Asian Championships (2017), and Asian Games (2018), succeeds in winning the gold medal in Paris, he will become the third Korean judo player to win a Grand Slam after Lee Won-hee (43) and Kim Jae-beom (39). is achieved. “To prevent injuries, I always come to the training center about 10 minutes early and do a good amount of stretching,” said Paul Ahn, who is referring to his long standing as a member of the national team in his weight class. Coach Jang said, “Paul is a player with integrity itself. “As a leader, there are times when he says things he doesn’t like to the players, but he says ‘take a break and then play’ more to Paul than ‘add some more.’” It is true that the importance of physical fitness has increased as we age. Paul Ahn said, “I weigh about 1 to 2 kg more than before, so I am also paying attention to losing weight. Because his body was swelling, he almost stopped eating ramen. “In the three years since the Tokyo Olympics, he has only eaten ramen once,” he said. Paul An, who suffered a rib injury early this year, has not yet been able to improve his physical condition to 100%. It is also a reality that European players with good physique and strength are showing strength compared to before as irregular catching techniques are allowed. Paul Ahn said, “A lot of information about me has been exposed, so there are a lot of things I need to pay attention to. “He needs to make up for his shortcomings in the remaining time until the Olympics,” he said. Baul Ahn also aims to restore the reputation of Korean judo, which has lost its gold since the 2012 London Olympics. Korean men's judo has only secured qualifications to participate in four of the seven weight classes at the [Paris Olympics](https://network-4727457.mn.co/posts/50506491). Depending on the results of international competitions remaining until June 23, when the Olympic qualification distribution ends, Korean men's judo may fail to 'participate in all weight classes' for the first time in history. Paul Ahn said, “Rather than thinking that this is a crisis, it is important for each person to do their best preparation.” Paul Ahn, who had his son Jiangun in March last year, also pledged to do well as his father. In Korean judo, he is the second ‘Dad Olympian’ following Song Dae-nam (45), gold medalist at the 2012 London Games. Paul Ahn said, “I always feel sorry for being away from his family when I should have been with them. “I want to come back from Paris with a gold medal and take a commemorative photo together,” he said.
