在广州亚运会马术比赛的首日赛上,韩国队夺得盛装舞步团体赛金牌,韩国人强力地捍卫了连夺四届冠军的王者地位。在这个冠军队伍中,高大的金均燮是最受人尊敬的选手,他的叔叔金亨七在多哈亚运会马术赛上不幸因事故遇难,广州的金牌对这位29岁的选手有特别的滋味。

请看相关报道:

The Republic of Korea’s Kim Kyun-sub realized his dream on Sunday of winning an Asian Gamesgold to honor his uncle who was killed at the last Asiad in Doha when his horse threw and crushed him. Kim was part of the ROK team that claimed the equestrianteam dressage title ahead of China and Malaysia.

在周日举行的广州亚运会马术比赛中,韩国队的金均燮如愿获得一枚金牌,以此向在上届多哈亚运会中意外坠马身亡的叔叔致敬。金均燮所在的韩国队夺得了盛装舞步团体赛金牌,中国和马来西亚分获银牌和铜牌。

这里的equestrian就是“马术”,马术原本是人驾驭骑乘马匹的技能,现已逐渐发展成为在竞技场上检验人马配合,协同工作能力的独特体育项目。

马术运动项目繁多,列入奥运会正式比赛的有dressage(盛装舞步,强调在爱马、尊重马、以马为友的前提下,充分调动马的积极性,发挥马的潜力,伴随音乐与人协调配合完成科目)、jumping(场地障碍,要求运动员骑马必须按规定的路线、顺序跳越全部障碍)和eventing(三项赛,由盛装舞步、耐力赛和场地障碍赛三个部分构成)三个项目,每项都有individual(个人)和team(团体)两个赛制。
