Hwang
Seon-
woo visits Incheon Airport from the early morning,
[Hwang
Seon-
woo/Sooyoung National Team: (Now (Olympic) can you feel it?) Now it feels real.] You
are on the road to the first Olympics in your life.
[Tokyo Olympics Fighting!] After a
two-hour flight and strict quarantine procedures, I undressed at the dormitory at 5:30 PM, and immediately went to the Tokyo Aquatic Center, the venue for the competition.
[Hwang Seon-woo / National Swimming Team: (depth) 3m pool adaptation training is necessary, and I came to train right now because I thought that training without unpacking everything was the priority.] In
the Olympic standard pool with a depth of 3m, which I have never experienced in Korea
.
, I prepared the best race by dividing the current for about an hour without a break.
The 3m deep pool has a small wavelength and high buoyancy, so it will be easier to break the record if you adapt smoothly.
Hwang Seon-woo, who appeared like a comet after breaking Park Tae-hwan's 100m freestyle Korean record in October of last year, broke the world junior record one after another in the 200m. record.
[Hwang Seon-woo/Sooyoung National Team: Thank you for your support so much, and I will do my best to show you a result that can live up to your expectations. Thank you.]
Seon-woo Hwang will take on the role of jockey for the Korean team along with Yeon-kyung Kim at the opening ceremony on the 23rd, and then take on the challenge starting with the 200m qualifying on the 25th.
