Hwang Seon-woo of lane 3 turned his head to the right and in line with his breathing technique, he floated his score in the 100m to 150m section where he could check the position of the 4th lane Popovich.
After finishing 100m in 4th place, he pursued with all his might, and climbed to 3rd place by setting his all-time 'record' of 26.61 to the 150m section.
And he caught up to Tom Dean and set his Korean record, adorning his first world championship first medal in silver.
Hwang Seon-woo showed his back-heartedness by raising the ranking one step at a time in the last 50m all the way to the preliminaries, semi-finals and finals.
At the Tokyo Olympics last year, the last-minute strength dropped and the average time of 27.88 was recorded in the last 50m section, but in this event, it recorded an average of 26.99, which was nearly a second faster than that, showing remarkable growth.
However, the dolphin kick, which was the focus of the Australian field training, was only taken 2-3 times on average, as in Tokyo.
[Hwang Seon-woo/Sooyoung National Team: I think it will take about a year to fully hone (dolphin kick) before I can come out (in practice). I
think.]
The 18-year-old Popovich, who broke Hwang Seon-woo's world junior record and won the gold medal, became a wall he had to overcome and a good motivator.
[Hwang Seon-woo / National Swimming Team: Popovich recorded a great record of 43 seconds (1 minute), so I think I will train harder and get into the 43 second range (1 minute)...

The next day (23rd) Hwang Seon-woo will challenge for the first time in Korean relay history to advance to the final in the 800m relay, where he will play with his teammates.
