Third place was Musin Adilbek (Kazakhstan) with 23.44 seconds.

Until this day, there was only one Korean athlete who had won a medal in the men's 50m butterfly, which became an official event at the Asian Games starting in the 2006 Doha Games, and was Yang Jeong-doo, who took third place in Incheon in 2014.

Baek In-cheol surpassed Yang Jeong-du and achieved the best performance in this event.

Even if you broaden your horizons to the entire Asian Games in history, Baek In-cheol became the first male butterfly swimmer to win the championship.

Previously, the best performance of Korean men's butterfly at the Asian Games was the silver medal won by Bang Jun-young in the 200m butterfly at the 1982 New Delhi Games.

In women's butterfly, Cho Hee-yeon won the 200m butterfly gold medal at the 1998 Bangkok Games.

Baek In-cheol, whom we met after the game, smiled and said, “I’m happy to be able to contribute to Korean swimming.”

He added, “After checking the electronic sign, I was so happy that I jumped on the lane.”

In the preliminaries this morning, Baek In-cheol took first place overall by capturing the touch pad in 23.39 seconds.

23.39 seconds was a new Korean record, 0.11 seconds shorter than the Korean record of 23.50 seconds set at the national team selection in March of this year, and a new competition record by 0.07 seconds short of the 23.46 seconds achieved by Shiyang (China) in Incheon in 2014. .

Even after setting a new competition record, Baek In-cheol said, “I am not satisfied with this record,” and added, “My goal is to break into the 22-second mark.”

In the final, Baek In-cheol failed to break into the 22 second mark, but did not miss the gold medal.

His Korean and competition records were once again broken.

Even after the finals, Baek In-cheol aspired to break into the 22-second mark, saying, “I like the ranking, but I’m still not satisfied with the record.”

With Baek In-cheol winning the gold medal, Korean swimming management achieved its fourth gold medal in this competition.

This is the best tie ever, the same as at the 2010 Guangzhou Games.
