AG team wins first ever gold medal in 800m freestyle relay
Showcasing their impressive growth, they also set an Asian record

The “golden generation”

Of Korean swimming, led by Hwang Sun-woo (20-Gangwon Provincial Office), 스포츠토토 has won the

country’s first-ever gold medal in a management team event at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games.

The South Korean swimming team of Yang Jae-hoon (25-Gangwon Provincial Government), Lee Ho-joon

(22-Daegu Metropolitan City Government), Kim Woo-min (22) and Hwang Sun-woo (20) were the first to

touch the touchpad in an Asian record time of 7:01.73 in the men’s 800m freestyle relay final at the

Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Aquatic Sports Arena in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on Friday.

Neither China

Who were considered the favorites, nor Japan, who had only missed out on gold in this event at the

previous Asian Games in Guangzhou in 2010, were able to match the Koreans.

China, led by Wang Sun and Fan Zhanle, who set Asian records in the men’s 200-meter individual medley

and 100-meter freestyle, respectively, finished second in 7:03.40. Japan won the bronze medal in 7:06.29.

This is the first time Korean swimming has ever won gold in a management team event at an Asian Games. The previous best result was a silver medal.

Lee Sang-joon, Woo Chul, Woo Won-ki and Bang Seung-hoon

Won silver in the men’s 800-meter freestyle relay in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1994, and Park Tae-hwan, Park

Sun-kwan, Choi Kyu-woong and Jung Doo-hee won the second silver medal in the men’s 400-meter medley relay in Guangzhou in 2010.

On the women’s side, Korea has won silver medals in the 400-meter medley relay (Kim Eun-jung, Myung

Kyung-hyun, Lee Moon-hee, Eun-joo) in Beijing in 1990 and the 400-meter freestyle relay (Lee Da-lin,

Yang Ji-won, Ahn Se-hyun, Kim Mi-so) in Incheon in 2014.

The record was even more dazzling.

They shaved 0.53 seconds off the previous Asian record (7:02.26) set by Japan at the 2009 World

Championships in Rome, before polyurethane full-body swimsuits were banned.

The Korean record (7:04.07), set at the Fukuoka World Championships in July, 토토 was shaved off by 2.34 seconds in less than two months.

Winning the gold medal in the medley relay at the Asian Games is even more meaningful as the team’s

performance is based on the growth of the entire swimming program.

In particular, the 800-meter freestyle relay team didn’t rely on a single star, but rather on four swimmers who performed evenly and dominated to win gold.

This was the result of strategic investments by the Korean Swimming Federation, as well as the

emergence of a number of promising young athletes centered around the stars Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min.

Hwang Sun-woo

Was a major breakthrough for South Korean swimming, which hadn’t seen a major star since Park Tae-hwan changed the sport’s history.

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in 2021, he broke the Korean record in the men’s 200m freestyle (1:44.62) and set a new Asian record in the 100m freestyle semifinals (47.56), becoming the first Asian swimmer to reach an Olympic men’s 100m freestyle final in 65 years since Dani Atsushi (JPN) at Melbourne 1956.

Since then, Hwang has become a world-class swimmer.

Last year, he won a silver medal in the 200m freestyle at the Budapest World Championships in a Korean record time of 1:44.47, and this year he won a bronze medal at the Fukuoka World Championships, lowering the Korean record to 1:44.42.

With the emergence of Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min has shown signs of growth in the men’s middle and long distances.

Seeing the potential for Asian Games gold in the 800-meter freestyle relay, where the duo can anchor, the KFA put together a special strategic development squad of the top four men’s freestyle swimmers from last year’s and this year’s national team selections to train in Australia.

The results of the training paid off at last year’s World Championships in Budapest.

At last year’s World Championships in Budapest

The team of Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min, Lee Ho-joon and Lee Yoo-yeon (Korea Gymnastics) set a new Korean record in the 800-meter freestyle relay preliminaries with a time of 7:08.49 and finished fourth overall. It was South Korea’s first-ever team final at a World Championships.

After making history, the team finished sixth in the final. Less than a day later, they broke the Korean record again with a time of 7:06.93.

At this year’s World Championships in Fukuoka, the team of Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min, Yang Jae-hoon, and Lee Ho-joon set a new Korean record of 7:06.82 in the preliminaries and qualified for the final in sixth place overall. In the final, less than a day later, they broke the Korean record by 2.75 seconds, touching the touchpad in 7:04.07. The final ranking was 6th.

The same team with the same members, just in different alphabetical order, set another record at the Asian Games.

In addition to the team performance, the 800-meter freestyle relay swimmers have also shown improvement in their individual events.

Hwang Sun-woo continues to break the Korean record in his main event, the 200-meter freestyle.

Kim Woo-min

Who had a personal best of 3:45.59 in the 400m freestyle before this year’s World Championships in Fukuoka, improved his time to 3:44.52 in the preliminaries and 3:43.92 in the final.

Lee Ho-joon

Also reached the final of the 200m freestyle alongside Hwang Sun-woo at the World Championships in Fukuoka, and also made the final of the 100m freestyle, which is not his main event at the Asian Games.

The meteoric rise of Korea’s 800-meter freestyle relay team has raised hopes of a first-ever team medal at Paris 2024.

The team has shaved 6.76 seconds off their time in just two years.

With all four members of the squad just entering their prime, there’s plenty of potential for further improvement if they prepare as well as they have in the past.

If you look at the men’s 800-meter freestyle relay final at this year’s World Championships in Fukuoka, the time they set that day was already a medal-winning time. Great Britain won the final in 6:59.08, the United States took silver in 7:00.02, and the bronze medal went to Australia in 7:02.13.

With the gold medal, all of the relay swimmers will now be able to resolve their military service issues, giving them more momentum to train and compete.

The eyes of the ‘golden generation’ now turn to Paris 2024. If they continue their upward trend, a first team medal in Olympic history is not out of the question. 스포츠토토링크

Oh Sang-wook defeats senior Koo Bon-gil to win gold in fencing sabre individual event
Koo Bon-gil snaps four-game losing streak in sabre at Asian Games

There was a winner and a loser, but they both smiled.

Men’s fencer Oh Sang-wook

27, of Daejeon, South Korea, won his first individual gold medal at the Asian Games, ending a four-game

losing streak for senior Koo Bon-gil, 토토사이트 34, of Korea National Sports Promotion Organization.

Oh won the gold medal with a 15-7 victory over Koo in the men’s individual fencing sabre final on Friday

at the Hangzhou University of Electronic Arts Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China.

It was Oh’s first individual gold medal in his second Asian Games appearance.

Despite being denied a fourth consecutive Asian Games individual title, Koo was just as happy to see his

junior win as he was to see his own gold.

“After the match, I told (Oh) Sang-wook, ‘Congratulations on your first individual gold medal at the Asian

Games. I said, ‘You’re doing great. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.”

For Koo, this competition is special. Several records are at stake.

He is attempting to win his fourth consecutive individual title after winning in Guangzhou 2010, 스포츠토토 Incheon 2014 and Jakarta-Palembang 2018.

He was also aiming to increase his career gold medal tally to six, joining the likes of Park Tae-hwan in

swimming and Nam Hyun-hee in fencing as Korea’s most decorated Asian Games gold medalists. He currently has five.

“I thought I would be very disappointed if I didn’t win four in a row, but we did it as Koreans. I feel like it’s

all over. It’s not easy to win four in a row,” he said, adding, “The challenge itself is a great honor. I want to

praise myself, it’s a great feeling.”

He continued, “I’m more happy with the silver medal today than the gold I won in Jakarta. At that time, I

also felt sorry for Sang Wook Lee. I really congratulate him.”

At the official press conference, Goo said, “I went through a lot of ups and downs on my way to the final,

and I was nervous from the preliminaries to the semifinals.” “But when I came to the final, I felt a little

more relaxed because I was able to play with (Oh) Sang-wook,” he added.

Five years ago, the two battled for gold in the final of the Jakarta-Palembang Games. Goo won the gold medal with a dramatic one-point victory over Oh Sang-wook.

“It’s only my second Asian Games, and I don’t think it makes sense for him to win three gold medals in a

row,” said the younger brother, who has grown so much in five years that he has surpassed his older

brother. I can’t believe it,” he said, expressing his admiration for Koo.

“I was very nervous in Jakarta. I had a lot of regrets after the match, but today I thought that even if I lost, I would do my best and lose.”

He added, “I was also relaxed. The best we could do was to finish first and second,” he said, adding, “I

didn’t feel like I had to get revenge for losing at the previous Asian Games. I just wanted to win, and I wanted to win gold,” he added.

Injury has also been a rocky road. Last November, he twisted his right ankle and tore a ligament.

“I had a big injury,” Oh said. I didn’t have time to recover, but the team instilled a lot of confidence in me.

“I don’t know if I made a good play this time, but I was able to do it with confidence because I thought I was good,” he said.

They weren’t done yet. The duo will team up for a third straight Asian Games title in the sabre team event.

A gold medal in the team event would take Koo’s total to six.

“I believe in Sang Wook, I have no doubt. I will challenge for gold.”

Oh Sang-wook said

“I want to give my brother a gold medal, and I will do my best to help him break the record for the most

gold medals at the Asian Games.”

Koo Bon-gil laughed at the official press conference, saying, “If I win gold in the team event, I want to go

to the next Asian Games in Nagoya. I can win the most Asian Games gold medals in other events, but I

want to make a name for myself by winning gold in the team event (in Nagoya), and then I won’t be as

greedy in the individual event as I was this time.”

The men’s sabre team event will be held on the 28th. 스포츠토토맨

error in the first inning

Failed to win 2 games in a row

Kiwoom Heroes pitcher Kim Sun-ki (32) failed to win two consecutive games.

Kim started a home game against the Hanwha Eagles of the 2023 Shinhan Bank Solar KBO League at the Gocheok SkyDome on Aug. 8 토토사이트 and gave up four runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts in five innings.

However, he was shaken up in the fifth inning with a 2-1 lead. Kim gave up a double to Jang Jin-hyuk and then a walk to Choi Jae-hoon to put runners on first and second. 스포츠토토 He then induced Lee Do-yoon to ground out to the first baseman.

However, a toss from Kiwoom first baseman Kim Soo-hwan was missed by Kim Sun-ki in the basepaths, allowing an unearned run to score. It was recorded as a pitcher’s error for failing to make the catch.

Kim lost his composure and hit the next batter, Jung Eun-won, with a fastball up the middle for a two-run double. The three runs in the fifth inning were not credited to Kim because they came after an error.
