Sunwoo Hwang, who is about to enter his second Olympics, “I lack experience in Tokyo, but I will win

Hwang Seon-woo held the ONE TEAM! event held at the Champion House of the Jincheon National Team Athletes' Village in Jincheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do on the 17th. ONE DREAM! An interview is being conducted after the D-100 national team encouragement event for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.

Hwang Seon-woo (21, Gangwon Provincial Office), the star of Korean swimming, expressed his ambition to prepare well for the 2024 Paris Olympics, which is just 100 days away, and to reach the podium.

After attending the Paris Olympics D-100 event held at the Jincheon National Athletes' Village in North Chungcheong Province on the 17th, Hwang Seon-woo met with reporters and said, "Swimming is a sport that people are very interested in at this Games," and added, "I will do my best to win a medal (in line with those expectations)." “I will do it,” he said.

He continued, “The Paris Olympics are 100 days away, and it seems like there is a reasonable amount of time left. After finishing the World Aquatics Championships, I am working to improve my physical condition again. The current condition is not bad. “Now, I will count down the 100 days and prepare well,” he added.

The Paris Games is Hwang Sun-woo's second Olympics. He competed in the 2021 Tokyo Games for the first time and advanced to the finals of the men's 100m and 200m freestyle, imprinting his name on the international stage and emerging as the hope of Korean swimming. However, he failed to place 5th and 7th in the 100m and 200m freestyle, respectively.

This time, Hwang Sun-woo’s status also rose. She is considered a strong medalist candidate, especially in the 200m freestyle. He has emerged as a world-class athlete in this sport, winning multiple titles at last year's Hangzhou Asian Games and this year's World Aquatics Championships in Doha.

Hwang Sun-woo expressed confidence that he had grown by accumulating a lot of experience over the past three years. He said, “I had no experience of major competitions during the Tokyo Olympics. He went to the Olympics as a high school student who knew nothing. So, he overpaced and had very poor game management,” he said. “Since then, he has gained a lot of experience by playing in numerous competitions. He pledged, “I will do well in the finals of the Paris Olympics and make it to the podium.”

The Tokyo Olympics were held virtually without spectators due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). The Paris Olympics are completely open, and athletes compete with the support of spectators.

Regarding the changed environment, Hwang Sun-woo said, “I think the stands will be full at the Paris Olympics. I tend to have more energy when there are that many spectators. “It’s a positive part for me,” he said.

Sunwoo Hwang plans to compete in four events at the Paris Games, including the 100m and 200m freestyle, 400m medley relay, and 800m relay.

He said, “I am worried because there are days when the games overlap, but I am strengthening my physical strength by doing weight training and high-intensity endurance training,” and expressed his determination, “I will achieve good results not only in individual competitions but also in team competitions.”

Sunwoo Hwang, who had looked for Center Aquatique, where the Olympic swimming competition will be held, through a social network service prior to the competition, smiled and said, “I want to get on the pretty podium in a pretty stadium.” 토토사이트
