a promising medalist in Taekwondo sparring at the Hangzhou Asian Games, withdrew in the round of 16.

Throughout the game, Kang Mir struggled against the attacks of Abutaleb, who was tall (176cm).
Kang Mir, who is 15cm shorter, narrowed the distance to his opponent from the beginning of the game and then actively attempted a close fight. 바카라사이트

it seemed like Kang Mir had a chance to turn the tables, but Abutaleb,
who actively utilized his physique advantage,
accumulated points until the last minute and solidified the victory.
Kang Mir could not hide his tears as he met with reporters in the common reporting area after the game.
Mir Kang said, “I analyzed it a lot, but compared to all the effort I put in,
I missed a lot of timing (to attack),” and added,
“It was very difficult because (the opponent’s) legs were longer than I thought.”
“Still, I lost because I wasn’t good enough,” he said.
He continued, “I should have strengthened my spirit a little more.
“There are many cases where I am not able to perform well because I am lacking in that area rather than in terms of skill,” he said.
“I need to make up for that.”
“Next time, I will stay alert and do my best,” he added.
