Ryu Seong-hyun, who was called'Gymnastics Prodigy' with a Taegeuk mark at the age of 16, made a sensation by winning a surprise gold medal at the Melbourne World Cup, the first adult stage he made last year when he was 18 years old.
The flashy and bold acting caught the eye, and the high-difficulty technique, which twisted three and a half turns in the air, was resilient.

Ryu Seong-hyun, who added effort to his innate talent, has grown rapidly as an expectation for the Tokyo Olympics.
In last month's national selection, we took the first place in the main sport, Maru, and all the seniors in the total of six sports.

Seong-Hyun Ryu, who challenges the first Olympic medal in the Maru Movement, secretly uses new techniques these days I am polishing.
It is a technique of twisting two turns in the air without touching your hand, and Ryu Seong-hyun said that he was planning to unveil this new weapon for the first time on the Olympics stage, and asked to look forward to it.
