Korean swimming ace Hwang Seon-woo (Gangwon Provincial Office) added a silver medal in the men’s medley relay. The Korean medley relay team, consisting of backstroke Lee Joo-ho (Seogwipo City Hall), breaststroke Choi Dong-yeol (Gangwon Provincial Office), butterfly Kim Young-beom (Gangwon Physical Education High School), and freestyle Hwang Sun-woo, won 3 minutes in the men’s 400m medley relay at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Aquatic Arena in China on the 26th. He took second place with 32.05 seconds. First place was China, which set a new Asian record (3 minutes 27.01 seconds). Third place was Japan (3 minutes 32.52 seconds). With this, Korea won a medal in the 400m medley relay for the first time in 13 years since winning a silver medal in Guangzhou in 2010. The four athletes in charge of the finals on this day are ‘Choi Jeong-ye’, who set a new Korean record with 3 minutes 34.25 seconds at the Fukuoka World Aquatics Championships held last July. This confirms the birth of a golden generation in Korean swimming. On this day, the national team got off to a good start with first runner Lee Joo-ho finishing in second place. The second runner, Choi Dong-yeol, also maintained second place. However, the youngest, Kim Young-beom, was unfortunately pushed to third place and seemed to end up with a bronze medal. At that time, national team ace Hwang Sun-woo appeared. On this day, Hwang Sun-woo beat Japan in the 50m race and ended up finishing in second place. Since China was likely to be ranked first from the beginning, it was a great achievement to beat Japan and take the silver medal. Hwang Sun-woo, who was competing in his first Asian Games, won his third medal of the competition. On the first day of swimming (the 24th), he won a bronze medal in the 100m freestyle, and on the second day (25th), he won a gold medal by defeating his archrival China in the 800m swimming (200m × 4). And on this day, he added a silver medal. Sunwoo Hwang will compete in his main event, the 200m freestyle, at the same location on the 27th. Reporter Lee Jun-hee givenhappy@hani.co.kr
