Baek In-cheol, whom we met after the preliminaries, said, “It feels good to set a new Korean record and a new Asian Games record, but I am not satisfied with this record.
My goal is to get into the 22-second range.
In the preliminaries, I will reduce my record to the low 23-second range.
“I wanted to get into the 22-second mark in the finals,
but my preliminary time didn’t meet my expectations,” he said.
About 9 hours later, Baek In-cheol will have the opportunity to enter the 22nd round.
Baek In-cheol said, “You can say I am greedy, but I will work hard to enter the top 22 and win a gold medal.”
By the 27th, Korean swimming management had achieved its best performance in the Asian Games by winning 3 gold medals,
2 silver medals, and 8 bronze medals.
Baek In-cheol also wants to help bring about a renaissance in Korean swimming.
Baek In-cheol said, “I gained positive energy from seeing my teammates on the national team win medals.
