A spectacular finale for the 2023 season... “A star that even athletes don’t see often”
It was like watching a showcase.
Not only the spectators, but also his fellow athletes and referees were all impressed by the performance of national high jumper Woo Sang-hyuk (Yongin City Hall).
On the 18th, the 104th Jeonnam National Sports Festival men's high jump finals were held at Mokpo Stadium in Jeollanam-do.
Despite the stinging autumn sun, many spectators flocked to the stands on the left side of the stadium where the high jump competition was held.
Woo Sang-hyuk, who appeared at a domestic competition four months after the 77th National Track and Field Championships last June, showed no particular reaction to the attention focused on him and quietly warmed up.

While other athletes were challenging records in the low 2m range, Sanghyuk Woo took off his jumper, warmed up his body, and started competing at 2m 15m.
Woo Sang-hyuk easily succeeded in clearing 2m15 in the first period and then surpassed 2m21.
2m27 failed in the first period, but immediately passed 2m32 and roared.
Woo Sang-hyuk, who secured the gold medal early on, encouraged the audience to applaud and enjoyed the game itself.
Sanghyuk Woo raised his height to 2m37 to break his own Korean record (2m36).
An announcement rang out in the stadium, saying, "Woo Sang-hyuk is attempting a new Korean record.
Please support us all."
Woo Sang-hyuk attempted to break the Korean record twice but failed, and immediately finished the game with a bright smile.
Immediately after the game, a rare situation occurred.
Competition referees wearing green jackets started to approach Woo Sang-hyuk, ask for his autograph, and take pictures with him.
It was like watching a fan signing event.
Woo Sang-hyuk smiled brightly and thanked the judges.
Even after the awards ceremony ended, Woo Sang-hyuk continued to take care of his fans.
After finishing the game, athletes from other track and field events approached Woo Sang-hyuk to get his autograph and take pictures.

One female high school player even laughed and said, “I saw Woo Sang-hyuk.”
An official from the track and field world said, “Woo Sang-hyuk, who mainly competes in international competitions, is a star that even track and field people do not see often,” and added, “It is an unusual sight.”
After completing the short National Sports Festival schedule, Woo Sang-hyuk immediately heads to Seoul and begins personal training.
He said, “I am a bit tired after participating in many domestic and international competitions,” and added, “I plan to take a little rest and then train again.”
