    Artistic Lee Ri-young and Heo Yun-seo Advance to the World Swimming Duet Technical Finals

    Passed the duet technical preliminary round in 9th place… ‘Brilliant performance’ in the finals on the 5th night

    The duet of Lee Ri-young (23, Busan Swimming Federation) and Heo Yun-seo (18, Apgujeong High School),

    who are attempting to compete in the Olympic Artistic Swimming finals for the first time in 12 years,

    has successfully laid a stepping stone to Paris. 온라인카지노

    Lee Young-young and Heo Yun-seo

    Lee Young-young and Heo Yun-seo ranked 9th with 232.7351 points

    in the 2024 International Aquatics Federation World Aquatics Championships Artistic Swimming Women’s Duet Technical Preliminary

    held at the Aspire Dome in Doha, Qatar on the 2nd (local time)

    and won a ticket to the finals given to the top 12 teams.

    Those who collaborated to advance to the finals for the first time in the duet technical competition

    at the Budapest competition held in 2022 will once again step on the final stage.

    Artistic swimming technical must include set performance elements, while free can perform freely.

    Lee Ri-young and Heo Yun-seo, who chose the 12th most difficult performance of 34.0500 points

    among the 40 teams participating in the preliminaries on this day,

    received an artistic score of 91.2500 points and a performance score of 141.4851 points.

    They narrowly missed out on a ticket to the finals by finishing in 13th place

    with a total score of 204.8133 points in the duet technical at the Fukuoka competition last year,

    but in this competition they comfortably overcame the hurdle to advance to the finals.

    Doha Competition

    Lee Ri-young and Heo Yun-seo, who are rewriting the history of Korean artistic swimming,

    will once again perform beautifully in the duet technical final,

    which begins at 8 pm on the 5th, Korean time.

    Then, at 3:30 pm on the 7th, they will try again to advance to the finals in the duet free competition.

    Lee Ri-young and Heo Yoon-seo’s goal at the Doha World Championships is to secure a spot at the Paris Olympics.

    Those attempting to advance to the Korean Artistic Swimming Olympics for the first time in 12 years since sisters Park Hyun-sun and Park Hyun-ha at the 2012 London Olympics did not participate in the solo competition to focus only on the duet competition.

    In the Olympics, only the duet competition is an official event.

    A total of 18 countries will qualify for the Paris Olympics Artistic Swimming Duet competition.

    First, the 10 countries that have secured the right to participate in the team event (8 people) automatically secure the right to participate in the duet game,

    and the winning teams of the five continental continental championships are each allocated one ticket.

    And the remaining qualifications will go to the top ranked teams at the Doha World Championships.

    Many of the top teams in the World Championships have qualified for the team event,

    so if they advance to the finals of the Doha competition, they will likely participate in the Paris Olympics.

    Kim Su-ji (25, Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall) also won a bronze medal in the diving mixed synchro 3m springboard event, which she performed with Lee Jae-kyung (24, Incheon Metropolitan City Hall).

    Su-ji, who became the first Korean diving World Aquatics Championship medalist in Gwangju in 2019,

    won two medals in Doha this year, becoming the second Korean athlete to win three World Championship medals, following Park Tae-hwan.

    Including the bronze medal in women’s 1m springboard at the Gwangju Games,

    Kim Su-ji holds a total of three world championship medals.

    Kim Su-ji and Lee Jae-kyung were also recorded as the first Korean athletes to win a World Championship medal in synchro events.

    In the finals on this day, Su-ji Kim and Jae-kyung Lee performed 205B,

    an exercise in which they jump backwards into the swimming pool with their backs to them,

    grab their legs, and spin around for two and a half laps in the 4th stage, and rose to 3rd place.

    They made a mistake in the 5152B movement with a twist in the 5th period,

    but Grace Reed and Ross Haslam (Great Britain), who were competing for the rankings,

    made an even bigger mistake, so Su-ji Kim and Jae-kyung Lee maintained their third place.

    The British team’s total score was 278.28 points, 6.75 points lower than Korea’s.

    At last year’s Fukuoka Games, Kim Su-ji and Lee Jae-kyung placed fourth in this event.

    Kim Su-ji expected, “If I finish the mixed synchronized 3m competition in Doha without making any mistakes,

    I think I will be able to go one step higher than last year.”

    As he expected, Kim Su-ji and Lee Jae-kyung went up one step from last year and won bronze medals.

    Until today, a total of four Korean athletes have won medals at the previous World Aquatics Championships.

    Tae-hwan Park ranked first in the 400m freestyle and third in the 200m at the 2007 Melbourne Games,

    and won the gold medal in the 400m freestyle in Shanghai in 2011.

    Sunwoo Hwang (Gangwon Provincial Office) ranked second in Budapest in 2022 and third in Fukuoka in 2023 in the men’s 200m freestyle.

    Following the women’s 1m springboard at the 2019 Gwangju Games,

    Kim Su-ji won bronze medals in the women’s springboard and mixed synchro 3m springboard in Doha this year,

    becoming the ‘Korean most medalist’ along with Park Tae-hwan.

    Other than Su-ji Kim, no Korean female athlete has won a medal.

    Lee Jae-kyung

    Although Jaekyung Lee is a mixed synchro event, he is the first Korean male diver to reach the podium at the World Championships.

    Korean swimming’s previous World Championship medals increased to 8 (2 gold, 1 silver, and 5 bronze).

    Kim Su-ji, who was diagnosed with torn left knee cartilage in December last year,

    overcame the pain and achieved the feat of winning two medals in Doha.

    Suji Kim also secured the right to participate in the women’s 3m springboard at the Paris Olympics.

    Lee Jae-kyung, the ‘atmospheric plastic diver’, also had an unforgettable moment.

    Jae-Kyung Lee competed in her first Asian Games in Hangzhou last year and won three medals,

    including two silver and one bronze.

    At the Doha World Championships, he won a qualification to the Paris Olympics in the men’s 3m springboard, and was thrilled to win a medal in the mixed synchro event.

    In the final on this day, Madison Kinney and Domonic Bedgood (Australia) won with 300.93 points,

    and Chiara Pelacani and Matteo Santoro (Italy) took second place with 287.49 points.
