With the ‘105th National Sports Festival’ just one day away from its conclusion, it was calculated that over 100 ‘multiple winners’ were produced in this competition. Competition is known to be fierce, with the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) expected to be selected among these multiple winners.
The Korea Sports Council, the organizer of the sports festival, awards the ‘multi-golden winner’ award in the name of the president of the Korea Sports Council to athletes who have won two or more medals in a sports event. Here, medal refers to gold medal. Additionally, the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) is usually selected among these players.
According to the Korea Sports Council on the 16th, as of 11:50 am on this day, there were a total of 147 ‘multi-golden winners’ in 21 events, including 108 2-gold medalists, 35 3-gold winners, 3 4-gold winners, and 1 5-gold winner. Weightlifting and swimming produced the most multiple winners with 26 and 25, respectively, followed by track and field (13) and bowling (12).
The athlete who won the most gold medals among the ‘multiple winners’ was Shin Sol-i (20, Gangwon-do Sports Council), who won five gold medals. She won gold medals in three specific events, including vault (12.734 points), balance beam (12.800 points), and floor exercise (12.900 points), in the women’s artistic gymnastics finals on the 14th.
In addition, on the 12th, he swept gold medals in the team event and individual all-around, earning him the honor of winning the first five gold medals in this competition. If she had won the gold medal in the double parallel bars, she could have achieved a milestone of winning all gymnastics events, but in this event, Lee Eun-ju (Gangwon Province Sports Council) won the gold medal and Shin Sol-i won the bronze medal, leaving a mark of disappointment.
