The men’s management team consisting of Hwang Seon-woo, Kim Woo-min, Yang Jae-hoon (Gangwon Provincial Office) and Lee Ho-jun (Daegu Metropolitan City) set a Korean record of 7:06:82 in the men’s 800m relay qualifier at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships held at Marine Messe in Fukuoka, Japan on the morning of the 28th. and reached the finals for the second consecutive time.
The previous Korean record was 7 minutes 06 seconds 93 set by a team composed of Hwang Seon-woo, Kim Woo-min, Lee Ho-jun and Lee Yu-yeon in the 2022 Budapest final, which was shortened by 0.11 seconds in this preliminary round.
2022 World Championship silver medalist Australia (7:04:37) took first place in the preliminaries, followed by defending champion USA (7:06:07) in second place to make it to the finals.
The British team, which won last year’s bronze medal, was led by Matthew Richards and Tom Dean, who overtook Hwang Seon-woo in the men’s 200m freestyle to take gold and silver respectively, and placed fourth (7:06.20).
Will the men’s national team, dubbed the ‘golden generation’ of Korean management, be able to break the Korean record once more in the finals held at 9:40 pm today, and win the first world championship team medal in Korean swimming history?
