When God Made Me - Chapter 92
“Don’t be too much of a clown. It’s gonna go to hell anyway. Isn’t that right, Qualifier? ”
After watching the work, Kim Seong-chan purposely wiped his hands and went out of the bathroom to fry Seung-ho.
Park Yong-tae, who was next to him, followed the Holy Supper, raising his hands in embarrassment.
‘This is a complete and utter bullshit. ’
I used to be stingy, but now I’m twisting my body to ask me to step on it.
‘I’m not shaken by him. ’
Seungho wiped off the remaining moisture and drops of water from his hands with paper towels.
‘Just remember. ’
—
Seung-ho recalled what happened in the bathroom a moment ago. Kim Sung Chan was staring at the target with a self-confident face.
Park Yong-tae has no great feelings. Rather, I feel like a good friend. However, Kim Seong-chan publicly ignored Seung-ho, saying that he was a clown.
Even in front of him, I did not anticipate how insulting he would be behind him.
‘I trample them down with my skills. ’
Points have already been invested enough in the national team development. If you invest more and win, you will not win.
“Shooting.”
As soon as the signal came out, Seungho quickly cleared his mind. After that, he raised his gun and aimed at the target.
As it was their first shot, everyone aimed carefully at the target.
Among them, the last person to complete the shooting was the late rider.
Bang!
With a cheerful voice, Seungho lightly lowers his gun. A score of 10.6 on the digital lighting board. It was a fresh start.
Following the victory, athletes put down their guns after each shot. The panel reminds me of the scores of the other seven players.
The most notable one is Choi Seung-ho 10.6. Directly below, Kim Sung-chan scored 10.6, followed by Park Yong-tae’s 10.1.
The commentators gladly continued to broadcast this scene.
“Hey, there are Korean players next to each other in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place! ”
“This is a rare sight. Korean athletes always fall in line with each other at the top of their ranks, with medal shootings. ”
“That’s right. The score for the first shot is very high. You can expect very good results. ”
“Let me explain one thing: Choi Seung-ho and Kim Sung-chan have the same score because Kim Sung-chan spent more time. ”
“Nevertheless, if the time is not exceeded, it will enter before the extension. Time doesn’t really matter. ”
“Yes, at the 2010 Olympics, the qualifying events were also reflected in the finals, but since the last Olympics, we are clearing all qualifying events and starting from Nova Base. ”
It felt good not only for the commentator, but for anyone in South Korea.
Seung-ho’s mother and Su Jindo Hospital were watching this on TV, and various media outlets sent reporters to the hospital where Seung-ho’s mother was staying, Kim Seong-chan’s house, and Park Yong-tae’s house, respectively, to capture their family’s reactions on camera.
Of course, it was Kim Seong-chan’s house that was visited by the most people. I was not satisfied, but he won a bronze medal in a 10m air pistol.
It was a natural result because he had always performed well in youth competitions and passed the preliminary seminar.
On the contrary, Seung-ho’s room was filled with performer journalists, not sports journalists.
The result of the 10m air pistol was so shocking and the gold medal candidates were Park Yong-tae and Kim Seong-chan, who were much more powerful athletes.
“Seung-ho. ”
“Please!”
Su-jin and Seung-ho’s mother held each other’s hands tightly and couldn’t take their eyes off the TV.
“Prepare a second shot. ”
On the host’s signal, the winner smiles lightly and inserts a bullet.
‘It’s only the first step. ’
You have your name at the top of the electric board, but you can’t change it at any time. Seungho held his mind and focused his whole nerve on shooting.
“Shooting.”
In the second slogan, eight athletes raised their guns in unison. This time, Kim Seong-chan opened his eyes and began to target the weights and measurers.
I didn’t want his name to be at the bottom of Seung Ho Choi for a moment.
‘Now.’
As soon as he pulls the trigger slowly, bang from the right! I hear a sound.
This time, he tried to shoot first because he wanted to get his strength, but the sound of someone else shooting earlier than he expected was clouded.
I don’t know which player he is because he is on the far left, but Kim Seong-Chan is influenced by the sound and relaxes his detection and looks back at the target.
Kim Seong-Chan shot the slowest in the shooting, looking at the target twice. However, it is an excellent score; 10.5 points.
“Phew.”
Kim Seongchan looked at the panel, hoping for a high score, but his name was still staying at the second place.
The top name was someone he really hated.
Seung-ho smiled at the sign. Again, he scored 10.6 and took first place at 0.1 points.
The remaining time was far superior.
Yes. Even in the second shot, the first to finish the shot was a win.
Despite his short aim, he was scoring a tremendous amount of points.
Despite the second shooting, the top five remained unchanged, followed by Park Yong-tae, North Korea’s Kim Jong-soo, fourth and China’s Xiaoping, fifth.
However, the difference between scores 1 and 5 was only 1.1. It was a score that could be reversed at any time.
“Prepare a third shot. ”
The shooting continues immediately. Kim Seong-chan, who shot last, didn’t have time to breathe, but Seung-ho, who finished shooting first, was able to catch his gun after resting long enough.
After the third, fourth, and fifth shots, some contours begin to emerge.
Sixty-three points for Seung-ho Choi, 62.6 points for Sung-chan Kim, 62.1 points for Yong-tae Park, 61.5 points for Jeong-su Kim in North Korea, and 61.1 points for Xiaoping in North Korea, and 60.5 points for Sundarrabet in Thailand in the sixth place.
Unlike six athletes who still had room, the competition between the top seven US players and the top eight British players who were soon to be eliminated was the most intense.
Their scores were 59.8 and 59.6, respectively, whether they survived by 0.2 or fell.
“Prepare for the seventh shot. ”
Eight athletes were focusing on their matches with live ammunition and on their targets, but only one of them, Kim Seongchan, was unable to continue to focus on the display board.
“Shit, you’re still number two!” ’
He knew that his current rank was not important, unless he fell now.
However, it was unacceptable that Choi Seung-ho, who had cursed and mocked until now, was above himself. No, I was pissed off and couldn’t keep an eye on him.
Moreover, even if he kept up with the same score, he would still be second because of time.
‘The final result, of course, is for me to win, but I need you to go up to number one now and press your nose. ’
“Shooting.”
As soon as Kim heard the signal, he raised his gun and fired at the target.
Bang!
After the signal drops, it only takes him seven seconds to fire.
But even the compliment realized that he had made the wrong choice at the moment of pulling the trigger.
‘We’re screwed.’
Kim Seong-chan, who made a hasty choice without being able to control his emotions, couldn’t even check his score.
7.5 points.
It was a splendid crash, number two, that put all six of the previous shots into a 10-point pole.
The seventh and eighth place bullets in 10.2 and 10.1, respectively, focusing their minds on what they thought was the last.
At the end of the seventh shot, the rankings of the players on the electric board fluctuated greatly.
Kim Seong-Chan fell to 70.1 points, followed closely by 6th place, 69.9 for US players and 69.8 for UK players.
Kim Sung Chan, who was competing for gold, now competes for the first place.
Seung-ho, who confirmed his rank, couldn’t hide his smile.
‘You look like you’re killing yourself before I step on you. ’
Park Yong-tae, who came in second place, felt sorry for Kim Seong-chan. But it was foolish to pity others here. He shakes his head, clearing his mind, and focuses on shooting again.
“Prepare for the eighth shot. ”
It was the eighth bullet to determine the first dropout.
Choi Seung-ho, who also had a gap of 1.0 points, relaxed and waited for the signal.
The most desperate American, British, and Kim Seong-chan reloaded real ammunition.
‘This can’t end like this. ’
Instead of first place, Kim Seong-Chan, who was fighting the deserters, managed as much as he could to prepare for the next shot.
He also scored a 6.6 on his last Olympic debut, but he was extremely focused and won the gold medal.
Of course, I didn’t like Jin-hyung because he was with Seung-ho Choi at the moment, but he also admitted that he was a great player.
“Shooting.”
Eight athletes lift their guns in unison.
“Oh, this can’t end like this. ”
The voices of the commentators were as uneasy as before.
“Jinhuang scored 6.6 on his sixth shot at the 2014 Olympics, but he eventually won a gold medal. setting a new Olympic record. ”
“That’s right, if you focus now, you can climb up to Kim Sung Chan. ”
“The most I need right now is peace. Kim Sung-chan, I want you to relax as much as possible. ”
The commentators glanced at the panel in a heartbeat. They were getting less and less nervous.
This time, Park Yong-tae was the first to finish shooting, and the scores of the players started to come up on the display board.
“Now, Kim Sung-chan just finished shooting. ”
“Please be a good shot. ”
A commentator leaned forward and looked at the sign and sighed of relief.
“You just scored a 10.0. Thank goodness.”
“Great Britain went up to seventh with a 9.8, while American Frank Underwood went up to seventh with a 9.6, and unfortunately became the first to drop by 0.1. ”
“I sighed. ”
The commentator continued broadcasting of the players on the panel after confirming that Kim Sung Chan had survived.
“Hey, Seung-ho Choi is getting 1st place down by a 10.7 this time. ”
“That’s right, the difference between number two and the score was 1.6. Park Yong-tae is shooting a 10.1, but Seung-ho Choi is really into it. ”
“That’s great, because today’s top athlete, the only eight of them, scored 10 points with eight bullets. ”
Unlike the depressing voice when broadcasting Kim Seong-chan, the voice of the commentator who broadcasts Choi Seung-ho and Park Yong-tae began to rise again.
“I’m really looking forward to setting a new world record. ”
“You’ve got enough to look forward to! ”
Choi Seung-ho wished Kim to be eliminated, but unfortunately the American player was eliminated.
‘Too bad.’
It was only a matter of time before Kim Sung-chan failed, although he did not fail this time. Seung-ho focuses on shooting again so he doesn’t have to worry too much.
“Prepare for the ninth shot. ”
