Hwang
Seon-
woo, who was 16 years old last year, emerged as the next-generation runner by 0.15 seconds after two-year senior Lee Ho-jun, who was called the second Park Tae-hwan, in the 200m final of the National Sports Festival.
It was only 0.79 seconds from the record of Park Tae-hwan, who won the general division.

As you can see, there are a lot of high school players hitting and coming up...
] After
a year of storm growth, Hwang Sun-woo surprised everyone at the national convention last week.
At 200m, I took a touch pad at 1 minute 46 seconds 31, 0.59 seconds faster than Park Tae-hwan a year ago.
It is the fourth place in the world this year, which is sixth at the Beijing and London Olympics.
At 100m, it was only 0.09 seconds behind Park Tae-hwan's Korean record.

[Lee Byung-ho/Seoul Gymnasium Swimming Manager: Park Tae-hwan, I hope that I will be a player who can surpass the record of 100m and 200m sequentially. I'm doing it.]
It is 186cm tall, has long limbs, is born with buoyancy like Park Tae-hwan, and has a stable stroke, so the possibility of growth is infinite.
Hwang Sun-woo, who is concentrating on raising his weakness, physical strength, is dreaming of the best moment at the Tokyo Olympics at 18, like Park Tae-hwan, who conquered the world at 18.

Since my efforts do not betray me, I think I can do it well.]
