After competing in the National Sports Festival in October and the National Team Selection Tournament in November, he must prepare for the World Championships in Doha in February next year.

In the summer of 2024, Hwang Sun-woo will challenge to win a medal at the Paris Olympics, which is one of his life goals.

The men's 100m freestyle A record at the Doha World Championships is 48.51 seconds, and the 200m record is 1 minute 47.06 seconds.

Players who pass this record from October 1st of last year to December 19th of this year will be eligible to compete.

The A records at the 2024 Paris Olympics are higher than those at the Doha World Championships, at 48.34 seconds for the men's 100m freestyle and 1 minute 46.26 seconds for the 200m.

The record recognition period is from March 1 of this year to June 23, 2024.

The standard for an A record is quite high, but Hwang Sun-woo has already passed the A record at the Paris Olympics as well as the Doha World Championships.

Sunwoo Hwang recorded 47.79 seconds in the 100m freestyle at the Gwangju National Championships in June this year, and recorded 48.08 seconds in the semifinals of the Fukuoka World Championships in July.

In his 200m freestyle, he finished third with a time of 1 minute 44.42 seconds at the Fukuoka World Championships, and then further shortened his Korean record with a time of 1 minute 44.40 seconds at the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Sunwoo Hwang is ranked 3rd in the world rankings for the men's 200m freestyle this year.

The gap between him and 1st place Matthew Richards (1 minute 44.30 seconds) and 2nd place Tom Dean (1 minute 44.32 seconds, UK) is not large.

In the past, Korean swimming was virtually guaranteed to participate in the World Championships or Olympics as long as it passed the A record.

However, now in the men's 200m freestyle, we must look at the standard of 'maximum 2 participants per country per event'.

In the men's 200m freestyle at the 2023 Korea Management National Team Selection Competition held in March this year, Hwang Sun-woo (1:45.36), Lee Ho-jun (1:45.70), and Kim Woo-min (1:46.10) all set the International Aquatics Federation A record (1) By passing the time (minutes 47.06 seconds)

Hwang Sun-woo and Lee Ho-jun won the right to participate in the Fukuoka World Championships and the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Hojun Lee ranked 6th in the men's 200m freestyle at the World Championships and 3rd at the Asian Games.

Competition is expected to take place at the Doha World Championship representative selection event in November.

Of course, there is a high possibility that Hwang Sun-woo will pass the national team selection competition in first place.

Still, Hwang Sun-woo said, “Now I can’t guarantee victory even in domestic competitions.

I will prepare well for the national team selection competition.”

The fight against records is '24/7'.

Sunwoo Hwang is consistently challenging his main event, the 200m freestyle, to break the 1:43 second mark and his personal best record for the 100m freestyle (47.56 seconds).
