In an interview after attending the Korean team selection ceremony for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Olympic Hall in the Olympic Park in Bangi-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 12th, Hwang Sun-woo confidently said, “I will write a new Korean record again in this competition.”
Hwang Sun-woo, who is participating in this competition along with Kim Woo-min (22), Yang Jae-hoon (25, Gangwon Provincial Office), and Lee Ho-jun (22, Daegu Metropolitan City Hall), will participate in the 100m and 200m freestyle and the 800m team relay. It is a challenge to win three awards. He is determined to beat competitors such as China’s Fan Zhanle and stand at the top.
Hwang Sun-woo said, “There are only 11 days left until the opening of the Asian Games. Now that I’m doing the decision ceremony, I can feel it. I am receiving a lot of support. “I became more determined to show a good performance in Hangzhou,” he said.
He continued, “The passionate support has continued unabated since the Tokyo Olympics. As much as you trust and support me, I will repay you with good results and records. “I will train even harder for the remaining time,” he emphasized.
He also showed faith in his colleagues. “Korea’s freestyle skills have improved a lot. (Kim) Woomin almost never misses first place in Asia in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m freestyle. “I have high expectations,” he said.
Also, “Hojun Lee in the 200m freestyle is also very good. I think I will be able to concentrate better too. China’s Fan Zhanle is recording a very good record in the 100m freestyle. I am also working hard to keep up. “We ask for your support,” he added.
He also talked about a new Korean record. The Korean men’s relay team set a new Korean record by setting a time of 7:04.07 in the 800m relay final at the World Championships held in Fukuoka, Japan last July.
Sunwoo Hwang said, “I was the first runner at the World Championships. The record was not good due to poor condition. At the Hangzhou Asian Games, the 800m relay will be scheduled at the front of the competition schedule, so I think I will be able to manage my physical strength well. “I will set a new Korean record this time,” he answered confidently.
