If Hwang Sun-woo (Gangwon Province) is the current poster boy for Korean swimming, it’s Kim Woo-min (Gangwon Province) who is actually expected to win the most gold medals at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games. “I expect to do well because I’ve been training hard,” said Kim, who has become one of Asia’s most dominant middle and long-distance athletes, before departing for Hangzhou, China, via Incheon International Airport on Nov. 21. I’m going to China with a light step,” he said.

Kim will swim the 800-meter freestyle relay on Friday and the 1,500-meter freestyle on Saturday .After a day off on the 27th, he will take the starting line in the 800m freestyle on the 28th and the 400m freestyle on the 29th.”I need to focus on immersing myself in the competition as much as possible and recovering my physical strength,” Kim said. “If I take care of my sleep and food, I will recover quickly. “Kim is consistently “moving up” in her main event, the 400-meter freestyle. He broke into the ’43s’ for the first time at the Fukuoka World Championships in July this year, finishing fifth in the final with a time of 3:43.92.He aims to further improve his time to compete on the world stage in the 400-meter freestyle, his idol’s main event. Kim’s eyes are set on Hangzhou and then on Paris, where the Olympics will be held next year .”The goal is the Olympics,” he said. If I can get a good time on the big stage and start a good trend and keep the momentum going and get into the 3:41s or 40s, I’ll have a shot at a medal. 안전놀이터 That’s what I’m going for,” he concluded.
