Lee Ho-joon, who stands tall as 'World's 6th', "There are many good things for Korean swimming today"

200m freestyle final with Hwang Seon-woo... back to 6th 카지노사이트

If Tae-hwan Park's 400m freestyle gold medal was the most brilliant moment in Korean swimming history at the 2008 Beijing Olympics,

The stage that proved the quantitative and qualitative improvement of Korean swimming was the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka.

Lee Ho-jun (22, Gangwon-do Office), who competed with Hwang Seon-woo (20, Gangwon-do Office) in the 2023 Fukuoka World Aquatics Championships Management Men's Freestyle 200m final held at Marine Messe Fukuoka Hall in Fukuoka, Japan on the 25th, ranked 6th overall with a record of 1 minute 46 seconds 04.

Lee Ho-joon's 6th place is as meaningful as Hwang Seon-woo's achievement, who won the bronze medal with a new Korean record of 1:44:42.

It is not that a genius suddenly appeared, but because it is a sign that the power of the Korean swimming world has been leveled up.

After the match, Lee Ho-joon said, "It's the first time I've been to the World Championship finals, and it's the first time I've done 200m three times in a row close to 100%."

This experience will be very helpful for this year's Asian Games and next year's Olympics."

Lee Ho-jun, who competed in lane 7 that day, matched the pace with Tom Dean (Great Britain) in lane 6, who won the silver medal in 1:44.32.

He said, "I thought Dean would be very fast, but he didn't widen much until the middle, so I thought his pace was fine.

Even though the final record was a little disappointing, I learned a lot.”

He added, “I also had a lot of doubts, ‘Can I go to the final?’ as my record wasn’t that fast.

It is also a stage where I learned that I do not know what will happen until the end.”

Now, in Lee Ho-jun's heart, the dream of the Paris Olympics final stage is starting to grow.

At this World Championship, together with Hwang Seon-woo, he made it to the finals for the first time in Korean management history, so we look forward to creating another miracle next year.

Lee Ho-jun said, "Athletes' records go up even more during the Olympic season.

I also think that I need to find areas to improve and prepare thoroughly.

In many ways, I think this competition has been a great help."

On this morning, Kim Woo-min (21, Gangwon Provincial Office) took a touch pad in the 800m freestyle with 7 minutes 47 seconds 69, breaking the previous Korean record (7 minutes 49 seconds 93) held by Park Tae-hwan for 11 years.

And Hwang Sun-woo once again surpassed the previous Korean record (1:44:47) with a time of 1:44:42 in the 200m freestyle final.

Lee Ho-jun said, "Today, Woo-min also set a new Korean record with good performance, and Seon-woo also broke his own record.

Today was a day with many good things for Korean swimming."
