[National Sports Festival] Swimmer Hwang Sun-woo Overcomes Food Poisoning to Win 5 Gold Medals... 400m Medley Relay Gold Medal
The second competition after the strongest high school diving... MVP green light for 3 consecutive years
Swimming star Hwang Seon-woo (20, Gangwon Provincial Office) finally won five gold medals at the National Sports Festival after overcoming the negative news of food poisoning.
Hwang Seon-woo was selected for Incheon with a new competition record of 3 minutes 36.50 seconds along with Song Im-gyu, Choi Dong-yeol, and Yang Jae-hoon (hereinafter Gangwon Provincial Office) in the men's general medley relay 400m final for swimming at the 104th Jeonnam National Sports Festival held at Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool in Jeollanam-do on the 19th (3:44). He narrowly beat the 34-year-old and won the gold medal.
Hwang Seon-woo became the second player to win five gold medals in the competition, following Kang-in (Yulgok High School), the top high school diving athlete in the men's high school division. 카지노사이트위키
The medley relay is a team event in which four athletes compete one by one in the order of backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. Hwang Seon-woo led the last race as a freestyle runner.
On the 12th, the day before the opening of the competition, Hwang Sun-woo ate the wrong food while eating in downtown Mokpo, Jeollanam-do and showed symptoms of high fever, stomach upset, and body aches.
It was a symptom of food poisoning.
Sunwoo Hwang, who forced to participate in the worst physical condition, won gold medals in the 800m relay on the 15th, the 200m freestyle on the 16th, the 400m relay on the 17th, and the 100m freestyle on the 18th, and performed the 'golden relay' for 5 consecutive days until the 19th, the closing day of the competition.
It has been two years since Hwang Sun-woo won five competitions since the 2021 competition, in which he participated as a high school student.
Last year, he attempted to win five gold medals, but failed to win the gold medal in the 400m medley relay on the last day due to a teammate's false start, and ended up winning four gold medals.
Hwang Sun-woo's chances of winning the tournament's Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) for three consecutive years have increased in 2021 and 2022.
The Korea Sports Council has been selecting MVPs for the National Sports Festival since the 61st Games in 1980, and over the next 40 years, there has not been a single player who has received MVP for three consecutive years.
Swimmer Park Tae-hwan received the MVP award a total of five times (2005, 2007, 2008, 2013, 2017), the most ever, but unfortunately lost the MVP award to Kim Deok-hyeon, who set a new Korean record in track and field triple jump in 2006, and unfortunately lost the record for consecutive awards.
The MVP of the tournament is chosen by vote of the press.
As of 11:30 on the 19th, only Hwang Seon-woo and Choi Kang-in have won five gold medals in the competition.
Considering that there is a large difference in diving skills between the general and high school students, it seems that Hwang Sun-Woo has a high chance of winning.
