Son dazzles in boot camp
Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean star Son Heung-min completed a three-week military training programme with the best performance among all trainees Friday, as he excelled in shooting and other areas, officials said.
Son was one of the top five trainees to receive a prize at the camp's graduation ceremony on the southern island of Jeju on Friday. The exact scores of the trainees were not disclosed, but officials said Son was the top among a total of 157 trainees.
In shooting, Son hit 10 out of 10 shots on the target, officials said.
Son entered the camp on April 20 for basic military training required of those entitled to exemption from two years of mandatory military service.
Son earned the exemption after winning the men's football gold medal for South Korea at the 2018 Asian Games.
