Wonwoo Cho took first place in both the 11th and 12th races of the men's windsurfing RS:X class held at the Xiangshan Sailing Center in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China, on the 25th.

Although the 13th and 14th races remain on the 26th, Cho Won-woo, who accumulated the fewest penalty points (13 points) in the previous 12 races, confirmed the win a day early.

Wonwoo Cho showed overwhelming performance, taking first place in all 11 races except for the first race, where he finished second.

According to the Korea Yachting Association, if you do not participate in one race, you will receive 7 penalty points.

Even if he does not participate in both races on the 26th, he can be excluded from the final score once, so the maximum mathematical penalty for Cho Won-woo is 20 points.

The total penalty points of Thailand's Natthapong Ponopparat, who is currently in second place, is 27 points, and even if you exclude the first race (5th place, 5 penalty points), which was the lowest performance, he cannot surpass Wonwoo Cho.

Cho Won-woo's victory was Korea's first gold medal in a water event at this competition.

Until now, the only bronze medal won by Lee Soo-bin and Kim Ha-young (Yesan County Office) of the rowing team in the women's muta pair final.

Won-woo Cho is scheduled to receive the gold medal after completing all 14 races on the 26th.

Yachting is divided into categories depending on the shape of the boat or board used.

It is a standing sport and requires constant control of the board with the body and constant pumping motions for acceleration, making it one of the most physically demanding events in windsurfing.

National team coach Ok Deok-pil, who coached Cho Won-woo, the 2002 Busan Asian Games sailing gold medalist, "I am touched that my student won the gold medal again.

I think it is a special feeling to win the last event that is now disappearing."

He said, "Cho Won-woo originally thought of a different event.

He prepared for this competition with difficulty, including losing about 20kg of weight to participate in the RS:X class."

Wonwoo Cho also competed in this event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021 and finished in 17th place.

In 2011 and 2012, he won two consecutive World Youth Sailing Championships, making his name known early on in the global yachting world.

He appeared on JTBC's soccer entertainment show 'Let's Come Together 2' and showed viewers how he plays a variety of positions, from central midfielder to fullback and central defender, and protects the rear in a wide range of ways.
