[OSEN=이선호 기자] The batting genius proved why he was selected.
KIA Tigers outfielder Kim Do-young (21) showed the power of a monster hitter by making new KBO history. He set a record of 10 home runs and 10 stolen bases in a month, which had never been seen since the launch of the KBO League in 1982. After much discussion over the first round of nominations three years ago, KIA’s selection of the century bearing fruit. After considering Kim Do-young and Moon Dong-ju (Hanwha), I decided on Kim Do-young.
Kim Do-young, 24, took part in the 2024 professional baseball game against Kiwoom Heroes held at Gocheok Sky Dome and drew a big bow in his third at-bat. As the hitter led off the top of the 6th inning, Kiwoom’s second pitcher, Kim Seon-gi, hit a 143km fastball straight over the center wall. The flight distance was a whopping 130m.

For Mina Libeer (IJF 23), the European Judo Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, ended immediately in the second round at her first match. She was eliminated in the class up to 57 kilograms by the French Priscilla Gneto (IJF 15) and thus did less well in the hunt for points for the Olympic ranking.
“At the moment, on the one hand, there is a lot of disappointment and on the other hand, I have to look ahead to the next tournament, which is coming up next week. The focus must remain high,” she responds.
Two years ago, Mineer was good for bronze at the European Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. This time she immediately stumbled over the first hurdle against Gneto. It quickly had her in a headlock. “It was a belated reaction to the ground from me,” she explains. “As I said, it is now time to recharge as quickly as possible for the coming weeks. I hope to be able to bring more of my own judo again.”
The European Championship was also over for Amber Ryheul (IJF 28) after just one round.
COMMENTS. Toby Alderweireld is disappointed after loss: Cup final is now the most important thing, Gustaf Nilsson: Fought hard for this victory
Toby Alderweireld: “The cup final will now be our most important match”
Antwerp captain Toby Alderweireld looked for explanations for the 0-3 home defeat against Union. “We played well in the first half. However, we were not able to hurt Union enough,” the defender gave his analysis of the match. “We lack the final pass, or the correct assumption, during this period. And we score goals too easily.”
After the early goals conceded at the beginning of the second half, there was no one who could rekindle the fire. “We are in a phase where things are not running 100 percent. Then it seems as if there is no drive in the group, but there certainly is. We are doing well up to a certain point, and then something is missing…”
With twenty minutes to play, Alderweireld was sent to the front. This way Antwerp could threaten something. “I do my best to sow confusion. Union has big boys up front. I couldn’t win every duel, even though I tried to be dangerous. I have already made the difference several times this season. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out today.”
Fortunately for Antwerp, this loss says nothing about the cup final of May 9.

The group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2024 continues with actions and Group D, which has Universitario de Deportes as the Peruvian representative, is one of the most even so far. In fact, the ‘cream’ cast, having made a good start in the international tournament, could not get a good result this Wednesday, April 24, after losing 3-1 on their visit to Botafogo for date 3 of the contest. This negative result has had an impact on the standings, but the ‘U’ keeps its faith intact.
The team led by Fabián Bustos arrived in Brazil with full motivation, after achieving important points in the previous two days. Thus, in the first half, the ‘merengues’ demonstrated their defensive strength, but things changed completely in the second half.
Botafogo, which lost its first two games, came out with a better attitude for the match and managed to translate it on the scoreboard, getting its first three points in the Copa Libertadores thanks to a double from Carlos Eduardo and a goal from Luiz Henrique.
Moin Khan explained the reason for not taking the post in PCB
Former captain of the national cricket team Moin Khan has said that as long as Azam Khan is playing cricket, he will not take any position in the PCB because it creates a conflict of interest.
Talking to the media in Karachi, Moin Khan said that the form and fitness of a cricketer is very important, Imad Wasim can play cricket, Pakistan team also needs an all-rounder. If Imad Wasim’s form is good, he must be fed.
He said that both taking and giving guarantee is wrong, I don’t know who gave the guarantee. Players retire emotionally, if someone wants to play more for Pakistan then why is he retiring.
He said that why Muhammad Amir retired, if he wants to play, he should take back his retirement.
Regarding the captaincy of the national team, he said that Shaheen Afridi has just had a series, it is not appropriate to withdraw the captaincy, a captain should be given time, whenever a captain is made, make him for a long term.
Regarding Azam Khan, Moin Khan said that he is very happy as a father to see Azam Khan become the best wicket keeper in PSL but still I would say there is something missing which needs to be improved,
