Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min are a couple... Korea aims for first-ever world swimming 'top 10'

Korea's swimming renaissance is more valuable than the solo performance of 'one genius'

Expecting additional medals in the men's 100m freestyle and 800m relay

In the past, whenever Korean sports fans watched the Olympic Games, they often lamented, “Why are there so many medals for each distance in swimming?”

I also had the pleasant thought that if archery, like swimming, were held in various specific sports, we would win a lot of gold medals at the Olympics. https://www.casinositetop.com

However, thanks to Korean swimming, which has literally experienced a 'renaissance', Korean citizens will be able to fully enjoy the charm of swimming, where various competitions of different distances will be held at the Paris Olympics to be held in July.

In the past, Korean swimming relied on one unrivaled genius named Park Tae-hwan (34), but now a number of top athletes have appeared in each sport, from swimming to diving, swelling the hearts of swimming fans.

Hwang Seon-woo (20, Gangwon Provincial Office) won the Korean team's second gold medal of this competition in the men's 200m freestyle final at the 2024 International Aquatics Federation World Championships held at the Aspire Dome in Doha, Qatar on the 14th (Korean time).

Hwang Seon-woo, who was the first to touch the touch pad with a record of 1 minute 44.75 seconds, even won his first gold medal at the long course (50m) World Championships, which is the regular Olympic standard.

Thanks to Kim Woo-min (22, Gangwon Provincial Office) who first showed off his 'golden swim' in the men's 400m freestyle, the Korean national swimming team completed 'multi-gold medals' at the World Championships for the first time in history.

In addition, Kim Su-ji (25, Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall) won a bronze medal in the women's 3m springboard and added a bronze medal in the mixed synchro 3m springboard in collaboration with Lee Jae-kyung (24, Incheon Metropolitan City Hall), making two bronze medals in diving alone in this competition. came out https://www.foodntours.com/blog/638477

Thanks to this, Korea is currently ranked 6th with 2 gold medals and 2 bronze medals in the medal tally by country at the Doha World Championships, which is now in the latter half of the competition.

China, which swept all medals in diving, maintained first place with 18 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals, followed by the traditional business powerhouses the United States (4 gold, 2 silver, 4 bronze) and Australia (3 gold, 6 silver, 2 bronze). ) takes second and third place, respectively.

Britain, another swimming powerhouse, is ranked 7th in the overall rankings, one place lower than us, with 1 gold medal, 3 silver medals, and 7 bronze medals.

North Korea, which won two silver medals in diving alone, ranks 18th overall, and Japan, with only one silver and one bronze medal, ranks 20th.

So far, the highest ranking that Korean swimming has recorded at the Long Course World Championships is 13th place (1 gold, 1 bronze) at the 2007 Melbourne Games.

At that time, Park Tae-hwan won both the gold medal in the men's 400m freestyle and the bronze medal in the 200m freestyle, and he stood atop the podium at the Beijing Olympics the following year.

Park Tae-hwan again became the champion in the 400m freestyle at the 2011 Shanghai World Championships, where Korea ranked 15th overall with one gold medal.

At the 2019 Gwangju Games held at home, diving Suji Kim won the bronze medal in women's 1m springboard and ranked 23rd overall.

And at the 2022 Budapest Games, Hwang Sun-woo ranked 19th with one 200m freestyle silver medal, and at last year's Fukuoka Games, Hwang Sun-woo ranked 26th with one 200m freestyle bronze medal.

Among the remaining events, the only ones where Korean swimming can add medals are the men's 100m freestyle, which will be held on the morning of the 16th, Korean time, and the men's 800m relay, which will be held on the morning of the 18th.

Hwang Seon-woo, who is competing in the 100m freestyle, is attempting to win multiple medals in management at a single World Championships for the first time since Park Tae-hwan (1 gold, 1 bronze) at the 2007 Melbourne Games.

Additionally, the 800m relay, which is a strategic Olympic event for Korean swimming, is also a promising medal event. https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/casinositewiki/post503623023/

The 800m relay, in which Kim Woo-min, Hwang Sun-woo, Lee Ho-jun (23, Jeju City Hall), and Lee Yu-yeon (23, Goyang City Hall) are competing, is aiming for the gold medal as well as the first ever Korean World Championships medal.

If Kim Woo-min and Hwang Sun-woo, who previously won gold medals, show fantastic chemistry in the 800m relay, and Lee Ho-jun and Lee Yu-yeon show the results of their training camp in Australia, it is expected that Korean swimming will easily enter the top 10 for the first time at the World Championships.
