Обсуждение участника:‘Smile Jumper’ Woo Sang-hyuk “I will definitely win an Olympic medal. “I will definitely bring it.”
Ahead of the outdoor season, he left for Hong Kong on the 18th to train and “prepare for his third Olympics “Focusing is also different.”
‘Smile Jumper’ Woo Sang-hyuk (28, Yongin City Hall) tightens his shoelaces again.
Woo Sang-hyuk held a public training session at Incheon Munhak Stadium on the 15th. Woo Sang-hyuk, who did not lose his characteristic smile even while undergoing difficult training, said, “I think I have an outdoor nature. “He’s running happily outside,” he said with a laugh.
Woo Sang-hyuk won two gold medals and one silver medal in three indoor competitions last February.
At the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships held in Glasgow, Scotland on the 3rd, he won a bronze medal by exceeding 2m28. Woo Sang-hyuk, who won the 2022 Belgrade competition by recording 2m34, did not win the competition for the second time in a row, but climbed to the podium for the second time in a row.
Woo Sang-hyuk, who adjusted his condition through the indoor competition season, is now preparing for the outdoor competition season. This year, with the 2024 Paris Olympics taking place, our resolve is even stronger.
Woo Sang-hyuk said, “I have prepared well since the indoor season, so I just need to adapt well to the outdoor season.” He added, “As I am preparing for my third Olympics, I think my concentration is special. He has no injuries and plans to have fun training for the remaining five months. “My goal is to leave the country (for training camp) next week, complete the training well, and jump high and feel good from the first game,” he said.
Woo Sang-hyuk, who made his first Olympic debut at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games (2m26, 22nd in the preliminary round), took fourth place (2m35) at the 2020 Tokyo Games held in 2021. The Tokyo Olympics were a big turning point for Woo Sang-hyuk. He, who had not been in the spotlight, broke everyone's expectations and rose to the world class with the best performance in Korean track and field history. Woo Sang-hyuk reflected, “Some people may have thought that the Tokyo Games would end with a flash, and some may have thought that he would play well,” and “I wanted to be remembered as a player who consistently performed well.” Woo Sang-hyuk, who had set a higher goal, was not satisfied with fourth place at the Tokyo Olympics. He continued to open a new chapter in Korean athletics, including winning the 2022 Belgrade Indoor Championships and last year's Diamond League Final. Now the gaze towards him is full of expectations. Although he may feel pressured, Woo Sang-hyuk has a clear ‘goal’ and has no time to worry about it. His dream of winning a medal at the Tokyo Games grew even bigger. “In the three years since the Tokyo Olympics, I have gained a lot of experience. “I think he will be able to prepare for the competition more comfortably,” said Woo Sang-hyuk, adding, “There is no pressure.” I will definitely win (a medal). I will prepare really hard and have no regrets. I will survive until the end and definitely bring home an Olympic medal. “I don’t need all the skills I want, I just want to get a medal,” he said, revealing his strong desire to win the prize. At the same time, he said, “If you do well, it’s a big hit, and if you don’t, it’s a disaster. I'm not thinking about what I can't do. He just thinks he will do well and he will definitely win a medal. “Wouldn’t it be a good day?” he said with a laugh. Woo Sang-hyuk is setting 2m37 as his height to challenge for the Olympic gold medal. Woo Sang-hyuk's personal best record is 2m36. He attempted 2m37 twice in this year's indoor season, but failed to surpass it. “Unfortunately, he couldn’t overcome it, but he felt like he could overcome it if he tried,” said Woo Sang-hyuk, adding, “To achieve a record of over 2m35, the environment and timing must be just right.” I think my record depends on the weather, track conditions, and my physical condition. “He always tries to play in every game in a prepared state until the Olympics,” he explained. Woo Sang-hyuk will leave for Hong Kong on the 18th and undergo field training for about three weeks. I am still thinking about participating in the two diamond competitions (Xiamen on the 20th and Suzhou on the 27th) to be held in China in April. Woo Sang-hyuk said, “I need time to adapt to the outdoors, but the game schedule is tight. “We are continuing to discuss (the competition) with coach Kim Do-gyun so that he can play in the best condition possible,” he said. 토토사이트
