Ho-won Jeong (Sports Class BC3) and Yejin Choi (Sports Class BC3), who won the Boccia Pair (Dual Team) at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games and led Korean Boccia to its 9th consecutive gold medal, are strong gold medal candidates in this competition.
The two will compete in the mixed pair and men's and women's individual events to hunt for medals.
In particular, Ho-won Jeong, the gold medalist in the individual event at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games and the world's No. 1 player, has consistently demonstrated his skills at international competitions every year, including winning a gold medal in the individual event at the Boccia World Cup in Bahrain last year.
Soyoung Jeong (Sport Class BC2), who is competing in the women’s boccia individual event, is also considered a candidate for the gold medal.
There are many candidates for gold medals in table tennis, which is a sport of great merit.
Expectations are high on Joo Young-dae, men's singles gold medalist at the Tokyo Paralympic Games, Nam Ki-won, winner of last year's World Championships, and Rio Paralympic gold medalist Kim Jeong-gil.
Korean Para Table Tennis also won 9 gold medals, 8 silver medals, and 5 bronze medals at the 2018 Indonesian Games.
