15 cooking experts dispatched to operate pre-training camp for the players to adapt to local conditions Korean lunch boxes provided
“Thanks to the support for the pre-camp, we were able to achieve good results.”
Medalists from the Korean team that won medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics unanimously expressed their satisfaction with the operation of the pre-camp, the ‘Team Korea Paris Platform.’
The Korean Sports Council has been operating the ‘Team Korea Paris Platform,’ the pre-camp for the Korean team, since the 12th of last month to help the team achieve results at the Paris Olympics.
We are operating a pre-training camp for the smooth local adaptation and conditioning of the athletes, and we are also providing a medical system of the same level as the Jincheon National Athletes’ Village.
Above all, the athletes did not have to worry about food quality and nutritional intake, which are major issues that athletes usually face at the Paris Olympic Athletes’ Village
. The pre-camp is operating a food support center with 15 cooking experts, including a nutritionist and chef in charge of the Jincheon Athletes’ Village restaurant. We
are providing balanced lunch boxes with a variety of menus such as Korean, Western, and Chinese food and seasonal fruits to the athletes. Yang Ji-in (Korea National Sport University), who won the gold medal in the women’s 25m pistol final at this competition, said at a medalist press conference held at the 2024 Paris Olympic Korea House in downtown Paris, France on the 4th (Korean time), “Thanks to the support of the pre-camp, I was able to adjust to the time difference in advance and manage my condition, and I achieved good results.” He added, “I was able to train and eat better at the pre-camp and compete better.” Do Kyung-dong (Daegu City Hall), who won the gold medal in the men’s sabre team fencing event, said, “I was able to achieve good results because there were people who helped me behind the scenes,” and “I went to the restaurant in the Paris Olympic Athletes’ Village, but it didn’t suit my taste. They gave me a packed lunch during the pre-camp, so I gained strength.” Kim Ha-yoon (Ansan City Hall), a member of the judo team that won two bronze medals at this competition, said, “They prepared me like the Jincheon Athletes’ Village during the pre-camp, so I was able to focus more on training,” and “Koreans are very food-dependent, so they sent me a packed lunch, so I was able to gain strength.” 안전놀이터
