Hwang Sun-woo won the gold medal with a time of 48.48 seconds in the men's general 100m freestyle at the 104th National Sports Festival held at Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool in Jeollanam-do on the 18th.
It has secured four gold medals. Hwang Sun-woo previously won three gold medals in the 200m freestyle and the 800m and 400m relay. Hwang Sun-woo, who is aiming for the first three consecutive MVPs (best player) in the history of the tournament, including five gold medals, is now only 400m away from the medley relay on the 19th.
Hwang was assigned to the fifth lane. Ji Yoo-chan (Daegu City Hall), who won the "surprise" gold medal in the 50m freestyle at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, was right next to him in the 6th lane.
The start was rather late. Kim Jin-won (Daegu City Hall) of lane 2 was the first to shoot the 50m section with a time of 23.30 seconds. Hwang was 23.39 seconds. 스포츠토토
It was a last-minute spurt. Hwang Sun-woo gradually hit from the middle point and reached the finish line first. He beat Kim Jin-won, who reached 49.11 with a time of 48:48.
Despite not being in the best condition, he is digging for gold in all the events he participated in. Hwang Sun-woo lost 4 to 5 kilograms in the aftermath of food poisoning just before the competition. Nevertheless, his determination to "pour everything" is steeply cutting the current.
