Qatari's Bashim is considered one of the best athletes in the history of the high jump.
With his overwhelming aerial ability, he holds the all-time second-best record of 2m43 and has been the strongest ever since his last two world championships and last year's Tokyo Olympics.
Basim has plenty of room in this tournament as well.

I'll get a good rest and come back.]
Even at the Tokyo Olympics, Woo Sang-hyuk felt like a different player, but now it's not.
He continued to grow over the course of a year, and last May in 'Basim's Home' Doha, he built his confidence to surpass Basim for the first time in his life and to top the Diamond League.

Over the past year, Woo Sang-hyeok, who has lost 3 kg of his weight and maintained his optimal condition, is once again aiming for the first gold medal in history.

While Woo Sang-hyuk is the first runner and Bashim is the 4th runner, Woo Sang-hyuk is determined to lead the atmosphere by succeeding before Basim.
