the high jump at the World Championships in Athletics, Korea's Woo Sang-hyeok finished second in history for the first time.

He jumped 2m35, about 50cm taller than his own height.

<Reporter> Woo Sang-



hyeok, who started the challenge at 2m19, jumped up without hesitation and raised his bar.



Following 2m24 and 2m27, he succeeded in the 1st round all the way up to 2m30 and presented various ceremonies.



He failed both the 1st and 2nd rounds in 2m33 and was on the verge of being eliminated, but Woo Sang-hyeok did not shrink.



After smiling brightly as he induced applause from the crowd, he leapt forward and jumped over the bar in the final third round.



He sighed exhilaratingly, expressing his joy with his finger celebrations.

Wow ~]



And he easily crossed 2m35, which is 1cm lower than his Korean record, and secured the silver medal.



The final match with the 'strongest active player' Basim was split at 2m37.



When the bar sim succeeded in the 2m37 in the first period, Woo Sang-hyuk raised the bar 2cm more in the second period to win the gold medal in reverse.



However, both times failed, and Woo Sang-hyuk finished the challenge with a salute by stroking Korea on his chest.
