Athletes Jin Jong-Oh apologized for inappropriate comments about Javad Foroughi, who won the golden medal with a short 5 m at Olympic Tokyo.

Jin last week criticized the International Olympic Committee (IOC) because of a terrorist element to win the highest position at the Olympics.

Jin Jong-Oh returned to Incheon International Airport, South Korea, on July 31 after the end of the game at Olympic Tokyo.

Javad Foroughi was supposed to be a member of Iranian Islamic Revolution (IRGC), the Finished Force to the list of terrorist organizations in 2019.

I want to express apology to Foroughi, Jin on July 31 written on the personal social networking site.

I have not carefully checked the information on the newsletter (about Foroughi) and I also need to be more careful, he added.

The message was given a day after the Iranian Embassy in Korea called on everyone to stop criticizing foroughi.

The 42-year-old Korean gunner won a total of 4 gold medals and two silver medals at the Olympics, but it could not continue its chain of victory at Olympic Tokyo.
