National team players who delivered golden impressions at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games are gathering in Jeonnam.

The 104th National Sports Festival will be held from the 13th to the 19th at 70 stadiums in Jeonnam, including Mokpo Stadium.

In this year's National Sports Festival, 28,477 athletes (19,279 athletes and 9,198 executives) from provinces and provinces applied to participate. 온라인카지노

Adding the 1,316 applicants from overseas Korean sports organizations, the total number is 29,793, the largest number ever.

Among them, the player who attracts the most attention is Hwang Seon-woo (Gangwon Provincial Office), the ‘signature’ of Korean swimming.

Hwang Sun-woo won six medals in Hangzhou, becoming the Korean athlete with the second most medals in a single Asian Games, following Park Tae-hwan, who won seven medals in Doha in 2006 and Guangzhou in 2010.

In particular, he won gold medals in the men's 200m freestyle, which aims for an Olympic medal, and in the men's 800m relay, a strategic event for Korean swimming.

The records are also plentiful.

In the 200m freestyle final, he broke his own Korean record (previously 1:44.42) with a time of 1:44.40, and in the 800m relay, he collaborated with his teammates to set a new Asian record of 7:01.73.

In Hangzhou, Hwang Sun-woo confirmed once again that the Asian stage is narrow.

Now, at the Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool, where the swimming competitions of the National Sports Festival will be held, the challenge for a bigger stage called the 2024 Paris Olympics begins.

Sunwoo Hwang will compete in the 100m and 200m freestyle.

Attention is also focused on Kim Woo-min (Gangwon Provincial Office) in the middle and long distance swimming, who has won the most three gold medals among Korean male athletes.

Kim Woo-min teamed up with Hwang Sun-woo to win the 800m relay in Hangzhou, and also won gold medals in the 800m freestyle and 400m freestyle.

Following former Vice Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Yoon-hee (1982 New Delhi Games) and Park Tae-hwan (Doha-2 Guangzhou Games), he became the third Korean swimmer to achieve the feat of winning three gold medals in a single competition.

Kim Woo-min breaks the water in the 400m and 1,500m freestyle.

Im Si-hyeon (Korea National Sports University), who at the age of 20 won three archery medals at the Asian Games for the first time in 37 years and was selected as the best male and female player (MVP) of the Korean Sports Association along with Kim Woo-min, pulls the bowstring at the Gwangju International Archery Range.

Im Si-hyeon swept gold medals in the mixed team event, women's team event, and women's individual event at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

In the women's individual event, she won the title with a 6-0 score over Ansan (Gwangju Women's University), a three-time Tokyo Olympic gold medalist and senior member of the national team.

Since Im Si-hyun and Ansan both participate in this National Sports Festival as college players, there is a possibility that a 'return match' will take place.

This will be a match that Ansan, who is from Gwangju and has always learned archery here, will never be able to back down from.

‘Smile Jumper’ Woo Sang-hyuk (Yongin City Hall), who won the men’s high jump silver medal after a spectacular match against his rival Mutaz Essa Barsim (Qatar) in Hangzhou, will also begin his challenge for the Olympics at the National Sports Festival.

You can enjoy the light-speed stabbing of the fencers who won the overall fencing championship at the Asian Games four times in a row at Haenam Woosul Dongbaek Gymnasium.

Oh Sang-wook (Daejeon Metropolitan City Hall), who won the men's saber double in Hangzhou, Koo Bon-gil, Kim Jeong-hwan (Korea Sports Promotion Foundation), and Kim Jun-ho (Hwaseong City Hall), who collaborated with him to win the team gold medal, will participate in the National Sports Festival.

Double women's epee winner Choi In-jeong (Gyeryong City Hall), women's epee team gold medalist Song Sera (Busan Metropolitan City Hall), and Yoon Ji-soo (Seoul City Hall), who won the women's saber individual gold medal, will also participate.
