Modern Pentathlon's Seong Seung-min Wins Olympic Bronze... First Asian Female Athlete [Paris Olympics]

Seong Seung-min (21, Korea National Sport University) became the first Asian athlete to win a medal in the women's modern pentathlon at the Olympics.

On the 11th (local time), Seong Seung-min won the bronze medal by finishing third in the women's modern pentathlon final held at the modern pentathlon venue set up at the Palace of Versailles in France during the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This is the first Olympic medal won by a Korean female modern pentathlete.
