Korean Swimming, Stepping Stone to the Olympics, Challenges the ‘Golden Swim’ at the World Championships

Sunwoo Hwang, after Budapest, Fukuoka, and then Doha, challenges for three consecutive medals.

In the men's 800m relay, he is likely to win his first world championship medal in team competition.

The 2024 International Aquatics Federation World Aquatics Championships, held in Doha, Qatar from the 2nd to the 18th of next month, is a prelude to the Paris Olympics, which opens in July this year.

Following last year's excellent performance at the Fukuoka World Championships, Korean swimming won a record-high 22 medals (6 gold, 6 silver, and 10 bronze) at the Hangzhou Asian Games, and is on the rise at the Doha Games, where 37 athletes and 11 coaches will participate.

Korea will send 22 athletes and 5 coaches to the management event, which will be held from February 11th.

The athlete with the highest chance of a medal is Korean swimming star Hwang Seon-woo (Gangwon Special Provincial Office).

Sunwoo Hwang will challenge for medals in the 100m and 200m freestyle, and the 800m relay.

Hwang Sun-woo, who succeeded in winning two consecutive medals at the World Aquatics Championships, becoming the first Korean athlete to win a silver medal in the 200m freestyle at the 2022 Budapest Games and a bronze medal in the same event at the Fukuoka Games last year, is a strong candidate again this time.

Recently, the International Swimming Federation introduced through social networking services (SNS) that Hwang Sun-woo's record (1 minute 44.40 seconds) in the 200m freestyle at the Hangzhou Asian Games was first among athletes who applied to participate in the Doha World Championships.

The world's top athletes have announced that they will not participate in this tournament, which is being held with only five months left until the Olympics.

However, in the 200m freestyle, with the exception of David Popovic (Romania), athletes who can threaten Hwang Sun-woo's medal will appear all at once.

Sunwoo Hwang took the opportunity to avenge Matthew Richards and Tom Dean (both of Great Britain), who swept the gold and silver medals in the men's 200m freestyle at the Fukuoka Games last year.

Lee Ho-jun (Daegu Metropolitan City Hall), who won the right to participate in the 200m freestyle at the Doha Games through a concession by Kim Woo-min (Gangwon Special Provincial Office), will also attempt to advance to the finals for the second time in a row following last year's Fukuoka Games.

The men's 800m relay, a strategic training event for Korean swimming, is aiming for its first world championship medal in team event history in Doha.

The 800m relay members, consisting of Hwang Seon-woo, Kim Woo-min, Lee Ho-jun, Lee Yu-yeon (Goyang City Hall), and Yang Jae-hoon (Gangwon Special Self-Governing Provincial Office), left for Queensland, Australia early this month.

Those who devoted themselves to physical training in Australia will return home on February 3rd, take a breather, and then leave for Doha, where the competition will be held.
