Hwang
Seon-
woo, a sophomore in high school, who was in the national team selection was overwhelming.
Following the 100m freestyle qualifier, he also performed solo in the finals.
I beat the game from the beginning, widening the gap gradually, leaving the second place player out for more than a second and taking a touch pad.
When he broke the Korean record of 48 seconds and 25 seconds and Park Tae-hwan's Korean record by 0.17 seconds in 6 years, a loud shout broke out in the audience, and Hwang Sun-woo smiled brightly.
This is the first time there has been a player who broke Park Tae-hwan's record in all men's freestyle events excluding the 50m short distance.
Hwang Seon-woo easily exceeded the A standard record for the Olympics, raising hope at the Tokyo Olympics.
[Hwang Seon-woo/Seoul Gymnasium: I feel so good, so I think (shouts) came out automatically. Last year, the goal was to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, but now the goal has changed to advance to the final.]
Seo-young Kim, whose main sport is individual medley, broke a new Korean record by 0.03 seconds with 54 seconds and 83 seconds from 100 meters freestyle for training.
