There were also some regrets.
Boccia, the ‘world’s strongest’, only won two gold medals in the mixed pair and mixed team event at this competition.
Table tennis also brought home the most gold medals (9) in this Korean team, but fell short of the original expectation by about half, and lawn ball, which was hoping for 7 gold medals, also had to be satisfied with 4.
Although we achieved our goal of 4th place overall, we can't just smile.
In fact, it could have fallen to a lower ranking.
China ranked first with 214 gold medals, 167 silver medals, and 140 bronze medals, about five times more than second place Iran (44 gold, 46 silver, 41 bronze medals) and third place Japan (42 gold, 49 silver, 59 bronze medals).
They swept the gold medals.
The gap with Japan, which took 3rd place despite sending out rookies and second-tier players, did well in basic sports such as track and field and swimming, widening the gap with 12 gold medals, while India ranked 5th and 6th, respectively, after Korea (29 gold, 31 silver, 31 gold medals).
The gap with Indonesia (29 gold, 30 silver, 36 bronze) was only one gold medal.
Park Jong-cheol, the team's general manager, said, "Overall, except for China, the number of medals has leveled off," and predicted, "There is room for India, Indonesia, Thailand (7th), and Uzbekistan (8th) to rise further in the future."
Jeong Jin-wan, president of the Korea Sports Council for the Disabled, also said, “Long-term investment is necessary to achieve results in basic sports such as track and field and swimming,” adding, “Even in sports where we are traditionally strong, such as archery, table tennis, and shooting, we won more medals and maintained the 3rd to 4th place.”
“I will do it,” he pledged.

‘PO 1st round selection notice’ NC Peddie finally takes the mound… kt is cuevas
‘PO 1st round selection notice’ NC Peddie finally takes the mound… kt is cuevas and Cuevas, a key player in KT's combined championship in 2021, also plays a key role in starting Game 1.
Eric Peddie (30, NC Dinos) finally takes the mound in the postseason game.
KT Wiz will face ‘undefeated pitcher’ William Cuevas (33).
NC and KT officially announced Peddie and Cuevas on the 29th as starting pitchers for the first round of the 2023 Professional Baseball KBO Playoffs (PO) to be held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon at 6:30 pm on the 30th.
It is an ‘ace match’ worthy of selection in the first round of PO.
In particular, Peddie's appearance on the mound is noteworthy.
In this year's regular season, Peddie achieved the 'triple crown' by sweeping the categories of wins, average ERA, and strikeouts with 20 wins, 6 losses, an ERA of 2.00, and 209 strikeouts.
The triple crown in the pitcher category is a feat achieved by only four people in the 42-year history of Korean professional baseball, following Sun Dong-yeol of the Haitai Tigers (1986, 1989, 1990, 1991), Hyun-jin Ryu of the Hanwha Eagles (2006), and Seok-min Yoon of the KIA Tigers (2011). am.
Peddie is the 1983 Sammi Superstars' Jang Myeong-bu (30 wins, 220 strikeouts), the late Lotte Giants' late Choi Dong-won (27 wins, 223 strikeouts) in 1984, the Samsung Lions' Kim Si-jin (25 wins, 201 strikeouts) in 1985, and 1986.
He also set a record of 20 wins and 200 strikeouts, something only legendary pitchers such as Haitai Sun Dong-yeol (24 wins, 214 strikeouts) achieved.
However, in the game against the KIA Tigers on the 16th, which was his last appearance in the regular season, Peddie suffered a bruise after being hit by a batted ball on the forearm, and was unable to take the mound while the team passed the wild card game and semi-PO.
NC coach Kang In-kwon announced Peddie as the starter for the third game of the semi-PO, but Peddie felt uncomfortable after pitching from the bullpen, so Tanner Turley took the mound instead.
Peddie did bullpen pitching again on the 27th, and this time there were no signs of abnormality after pitching.
Peddie, who is considered the best pitcher in the KBO League in 2023, also pitched well against KT with an ERA of 2.65 in three games.
However, he did not have the luck to win and only achieved 1 win (2 losses).
The hitting percentage is 0.271, the highest among the 9 teams that Peddie has faced.
Anthony Alford tormented Peddie with 5 hits in 8 at-bats (batting average of 0.625), including 2 home runs.
Sang-cheol Moon, Jun-tae Kim (2 hits in 6 at-bats), Byeong-ho Park, and Jae-gyun Hwang (1 hit in 3 at-bats) also attacked Pedi well.
For KT, it is very unfortunate that Kang Baek-ho, who hit 2 hits and 1 home run in 6 at-bats against Peddy, had difficulty playing as PO due to injury.
Cuevas has recorded 12 wins since taking the KBO League mound in June of this year.
Having never lost, he became the winner of this category with a 100% win rate.
His earned run average is also very good at 2.60.
He appeared in one game against NC this season, allowing 5 hits and 2 runs in 6 innings, and retired without a win or loss.

In NC, Son Ah-seop (2 hits in 3 at bats), Kim Joo-won (2 hits, 1 hit), Kwon Hee-dong, and Seo Ho-cheol (1 hit in 3 at-bats) hit Cuevas.
Cuevas was called ‘the number one contributor to the championship’ when KT won its first championship in 2021.
In the 2021 regular season first place match against Samsung, he took the mound after just two days of rest and pitched a miraculous fight of 7 scoreless innings. He also started the first game of the Korean Series against the Doosan Bears and became the winning pitcher with 7 hits and 1 run in 7⅔ innings. done.
In the previous 32 POs held with 3 wins out of 5, the team that won the first game advanced to the Korean Series 25 times (78.1%).
The importance of this year's first PO match increased as the aces of both teams, Fedy and Cuevas, went head to head.
