At this summer's Tokyo Olympics, the 23-year-old reached the top podium.
However, after the Olympic Games, his form plummeted, and in the latest national team trials, he almost completely failed in the Olympic gold vaulting event, almost scoring 0 points.
The results are the last word, even if he won the Olympic championship four months ago, he still missed the national team.
His performance was so bad that he decided to pour out his sorrows with alcohol, and after drinking until he was drunk, he beat up the taxi driver.
What is even more puzzling is that after receiving the alarm, the police came to the scene to deal with him by escorting him home!
He is South Korea's Kim Jae-hwan, the vault champion at the Tokyo Olympics. From the glory of reaching the top of the Olympic Games to the collapse of the human set at the speed of light, he only took less than half a year!
A few days ago, in preparation for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the Korean Gymnastics Association held the 2022 National Gymnastics Selection Competition, and the finalists will start training from January next year and sprint to the Asian Games.
Since winning the Tokyo Olympics, Shin Jae-hwan has been injured and his training has been disrupted. Perhaps because he participated in many commercial activities after the Olympics, Shin Jae-hwan's state also plummeted.
In the 2022 National Gymnastics Trials, Shin Jae-hwan planted a heel in the vaulting event, not only that, he also withdrew from the remaining 5 events due to injury.
I thought that with the honor of Olympic champion, I could get a direct quota, but the Korean Gymnastics Association treated everyone equally, and according to the results of the selection competition, Shin Jae-hwan was eliminated by the national team!
On the evening of December 14, local time, Shin, who learned of the elimination, borrowed wine to pour sorrow in the Wanshidong area of The Rucheng District of Huan Datian. Drunk to the point of drunkenness, he stopped a taxi driver in the early hours of December 15.
The driver asked him where he was going, and because he was so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly, the driver didn't hear the destination clearly and asked him to say it again. Such a request directly infuriated Shin Jae-hwan.
Sitting in the co-pilot, he suddenly turned on the full martial arts line and hit the taxi driver with heavy punches. Although he was already drunk, the gymnasts were far more powerful than ordinary people, and the drivers who could not escape in a small space were beaten and begged for forgiveness.
After escaping, the taxi driver immediately called the police. Surprisingly, the police arrived at the scene and found that the other party was the Olympic champion Shin Jae-hwan, and the final way to deal with it was to escort Shin Jae-hwan home!
It was not until several media exposed the matter that the police transferred Shin Jae-hwan to the police station the next day to investigate him. As for the handling of the previous escort home, the police said that because a detailed investigation had not been launched at that time, the allegations of the attack could not be determined!
So far, Shin jae-hwan has not spoken out publicly or apologized. At the age of 23, he quickly fell to the bottom after winning the Tokyo Olympics!
