Korean swimming star Hwang Seon-woo (Gangwon Provincial Office) won the gold medal in the 200m freestyle at Mare Nostrum Monaco, held as the final mock exam for the Paris Olympics, and won two gold medals in the competition.
Sunwoo Hwang was the first to touch the pad with a time of 1 minute 46.23 seconds in the men’s 200m freestyle final at the 2024 Mare Nostrum 3rd Competition held in Monte Carlo, Monaco on the 3rd (Korean time). Hwang Sun-woo, who won gold in the 100m freestyle the day before, won two gold medals. 슬롯사이트
Teammate Lee Ho-jun (Jeju City Hall) took second place with 1 minute 46.43 seconds, and Yang Jae-hoon (Gangwon Provincial Office) took fifth place with 1 minute 48.10 seconds.
Hwang Seon-woo said, “It’s not a good record, but I did my best even in adverse conditions where visibility was poor due to the water quality being murky due to a problem with the swimming pool filter. “I’m happy that (Lee) Hojun is on the podium alongside his older brother,” he said. 메이저사이트
He continued, “I think I did well in the mock test before the Olympics. I will prepare well for the remaining period and achieve good results with my teammates in the 800m relay.”
Backstroke’s Lee Joo-ho won the men’s 200m backstroke with a time of 1 minute 56.40 seconds and won two gold medals along with Hwang Sun-woo. Lee Joo-ho said, “I kept thinking and trying what strategy would be best to run the race with,” and added, “I want to refine myself better before the Olympics and run my ‘dream run’ at the best pace.”
Meanwhile, the Korea Swimming Federation Performance Improvement Committee selected Kim Young-hyun (Anyang City Hall) as the ‘last swimmer’ to compete in the 800m Olympic men’s relay along with Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min (Gangwon Provincial Office), and Lee Ho-jun. Kim Young-hyun recorded a time of 1 minute 47.37 seconds in the selection competition last March, and Lee Yu-yeon (Goyang City Hall) and Yang Jae-hoon, who were candidates for the English language skills in the team event at this competition, failed to surpass this time, so Kim Young-hyun’s trip to the Olympics was finally confirmed. Kim Young-hyun said, “It doesn’t feel real yet. The Olympics is a dream stage for athletes, so I will do my best. “I will improve my pace before the Olympics,” he said. The Korean management team won 7 gold medals and 7 silver medals at this year’s Mare Nostrum. After successfully completing the final mock exam, the national team returns to Korea on the 4th and continues final training at the Jincheon Athletes’ Village. 토토사이트 순위
