Like defending champion, the final round! Hwang Sun-woo Resurrects Over the Trials of Paris, Promises to Promise 4th consecutive podiums
"First time in a row, 4 consecutive podiums!"

Hwang Sun-woo (22, Gangwon Provincial Government) will compete in the world champion Mercury at 8:02 p.m. on the 29th.

Hwang Sun-woo will cut the current in lane 5 of the men's 200m freestyle final at the 2025 World Swimming Championships Arena in Singapore on the 29th (Korea time). Hwang Sun-woo was listed on the final stage of the semifinals on the 28th, with a record of 1:44:84 to rank second among 16 finalists.




Luke Hobson (1:44:80 of the U.S.), the bronze medalist at last year's Paris Olympics, is in lane 4, and David Popovich (Romania), the gold medalist at the Paris Olympics and best friend, is in lane 6.

After the trial, in which the final round failed by 0.04 seconds in the 200m freestyle semi-final, the main event at the Paris Olympics, Hwang Sun-woo turned his mind around on the international stage for the first time in a year. It was a semi-final, but it was a spurt that was as good as the final.

Hwang Sun-woo, who was somewhat sluggish with 1:45.40 in the national team selection match in March due to the aftermath of basic military training last winter, raised his confidence by recording his best record of this season of 1:44:84 in the semifinals.




Following Budapest (silver medal) in 2022, Fukuoka (bronze medal) in 2023, and Doha (gold medal) last year, he targeted four consecutive podiums and two consecutive tournaments.

Ahead of the finals, Hwang Sun-woo said in his management company All That Sports, `I'm happy and happy to reach the finals with a good result of second place overall with the best record of the season.' `It was the first international competition in a year since the Paris Olympics, so I was nervous, but I played in the preliminary round and quickly adjusted well and produced good results. As he posted his best record of the season, he promised that he would maintain his condition and show good performance.
