Hi, used to follow the blog before Rio and a couple of days ago found the forum while searching for Tokyo qualifying systems. Decided to stop lurking and here I am

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Totallympics new user @RiSeGwangFan feel free to enjoy and post on our forum. 

 

I am curious as to why you like so many Korean athletes though, if you don’t mind answering that question. (I myself have a soft spot for athletes from Kazakhstan, Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein)

And yet it has 'Missy' Franklin. Looks like anti-heywoodu himself just joined the forum.

Hi! Thanks!!   I started to love the North Korean sport from Beijing 2008, mainly by Hong Un Jong winning gold in artistic gymnastics, defeating the favorite and local, the talented Cheng Fei. I researched more and learned from his past achievements in that sport, from the achievements of Kim Gwang Suk and Pae Gil Su.
Since then I am supporting them in the championships, Ri Se Gwang whom I admire for the great difficulty of his vaults, this year he became three times world champion in his favorite apparatus. In Diving since I saw Kim Kuk Hyang I am rooting for her, I knew that I would defeat my compatriots, and that's how it was. I also support athletes from other countries, I missed many of my own country, I just wanted to make the most of those athletes who are often marginalized, maybe because they are not the best or because they are from where they are.  I would like them to someday know that not only in their own nation are there people who support them.
