[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) is gearing up to dominate various domestic and international competitions in 2023 by reorganizing its rowing team.
BPA has extended contracts with veteran athletes Choi Su-jin, who has 5 years of experience, and Son Hyo-jung, with 3 years of experience, while newly recruiting two athletes: Jo Seon-hyeong, with 7 years of experience, and Kang Han-na, with 5 years of experience. The newly recruited athletes are veterans with numerous awards in national competitions.
The BPA rowing team will depart for winter training at Mokpo Marine Sports Center starting from the 6th to prepare for the Hangzhou Asian Games national team selection and various competitions scheduled for September this year.
The training site is considered an optimal location for winter training due to its minimal current fluctuations.
Lee Hyeong-gi, coach of the rowing team, said, “To prepare for this season, we will strengthen teamwork and basic physical fitness, focusing on team events such as 2X and 4X, aiming to place in the top ranks of major national competitions and to be selected as national representatives for the Asian Games.”
Since its establishment in 2004, BPA has operated a women’s rowing team to expand and promote marine sports.
