18-year-old morning star Hwang Sun-woo, who broke Park Tae-hwan's Korean record in the 100m freestyle and set a world junior record for the first time as a Korean player in 200m, took on a new challenge.
[Hwangseonwoo / swimming national team. If individual medley as 200m is it's sport watch first jump in the swimming life -
hwangseonwoo training of stroke was not usual Cramming is tried to challenge the medley to feel better,
[hwangseonwoo / Swimming countries Representative: I haven't been able to practice medley training yet, so I'm burdened with it, but I just came to play while enjoying this competition.]
He showed off his swimming genius.
I played in lane 8 because there was no official record, but I hit the butterfly overwhelmingly from the butterfly, and continued to widen the gap through backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle.
With no opponent to compete next to, a different level of race was held, reaching the top with a new competition record that was only 0.46 seconds behind Park Tae-hwan's Korean record.
It shows endless possibilities and is growing steadily toward the Tokyo Olympics medals.
[Hwang Seon-woo/Sooyoung national team: Since it's my first sport, I think I just focused on me and worked hard (I don't care about the sidelines).
Now, I want to become a player who can think of the name Hwang Seon-woo when swimming.]
Hwang Seon-woo will once again hunt for record in the freestyle 100m, which is the main sport tomorrow (1st).
