[Asian Games] Hwang Sun-woo, 200m Freestyle 1 Minute 47.08 Seconds, 1st Place Overall, Advanced to Finals... Ho-jun Lee 3rd Place

Hwang Seon-woo (20, Gangwon Provincial Office) recorded 1 minute 47.08 seconds in the 200m freestyle preliminaries at the Hangzhou Asian Games and advanced to the finals in first place overall.

Sunwoo Hwang was placed in Group 3 and competed in Lane 4 in the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games swimming management men's 200m freestyle preliminaries held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center swimming pool in Zhejiang Province, China on the 27th, and hit the touchpad in 1 minute 47.08 seconds.

Among the 36 players who participated in the preliminaries, Hwang Seon-woo had the best record.  온라인카지노

Hojun Lee (22, Daegu Metropolitan City Hall), who competed in Group 5, passed the preliminary round with a time of 1 minute 48.13 seconds, taking first place in his group and third place overall.

Hidenari Mano (23, Japan) took second place overall with a time of 1 minute 47.79 seconds, and Fan Zhanle (19, China) took fourth place with a time of 1 minute 48.42 seconds.

The top eight preliminaries, including Hwang Sun-woo and Lee Ho-jun, will compete in the finals at 8:48 p.m. Korean time.

The strongest candidate to win the 200m freestyle is Hwang Sun-woo.

Sunwoo Hwang won two consecutive world championship medals in the 200m freestyle (2nd place in Budapest 2022, 3rd place in Fukuoka 2023).

Hwang Sun-woo's personal best record in this event is 1 minute 44.42 seconds, which is 0.23 seconds faster than Fan Zhanle's 1 minute 44.65 seconds.

In fact, Hwang Sun-woo is even trying to break the Asian record (1 minute 44.39 seconds) held by Sun Yang (31, China), who is considered 'Asia's best swimmer of all time.'

Sunwoo Hwang won his first individual medal (3rd place) at the Asian Games in the 100m freestyle on the 24th, and his first gold medal in the 800m relay, a team event, on the 25th.

On the 26th, he won a silver medal in the men's 400m medley relay.

If Hwang Sun-woo wins the gold medal in the men's 200m freestyle on the 27th, he will become the first Korean swimmer to win two or more gold medals in a single Asian Games 13 years after Park Tae-hwan, who won three gold medals in a row in Doha in 2006 and Guangzhou in 2010.

Hwang Seon-woo, whom we met after the preliminaries, said, “I prepared hard and did well in the preliminaries,” and added, “I want to rest well and achieve good results in the afternoon.”

Hojun Lee is also a candidate for the 200m freestyle medal.

At the Fukuoka World Championships, he reached the final stage with Hwang Sun-woo and took 6th place (1 minute 46.04 seconds).

Hwang Sun-woo and Lee Ho-jun were the first Korean athletes to compete in the finals at the same time at the World Aquatics Championships.

With Hwang Sun-woo and Lee Ho-jun standing on the podium at the same time in the 200m freestyle, Korean men's swimming management is delighted to produce two medalists in a single event at the Asian Games 21 years after the men's 1,500m freestyle at the Busan Games in 2002 (second place Seong-mo Cho, third place Gyu-cheol Han). Enjoy.

Hojun Lee said, “I’m aiming to break my personal best record (1 minute 45.70 seconds),” and added, “I want to get on the podium with Sunwoo Hwang.”
