The next opportunity to win the first international competition in 2023 and break the 2m36 record
is on June 3rd, ‘
Smile Jumper’ Woo Sang-hyeok (27, Yongin City Hall) sortie for the ‘Diamond League’ enjoyed the joy of winning his first championship at the third international competition.
Woo Sang-hyeok surpassed 2m29 in the men’s high jump final at the 2023 Seiko Golden Grand Prix held at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on the 21st and took first place. 2nd place Joel Baden (Australia) also exceeded 229, but Woo Sang-hyeok was the first time, while Baden was the second time. With this, Woo Sang-hyeok became the first Korean player to win the Golden Grand Prix, which the World Association of Athletics Federations classified as ‘Continental Tour Gold Class’. In the meantime, Woo Sang-hyuk has written the history of Korean track and field, such as winning the 2022 World Indoor Championships (234), winning the 2022 Doha Diamond League (233), and placing second at the 2022 Eugene Outdoor World Championships (235).
Woo Sang-hyeok, who passed 220 lightly in the first period, skipped 225 and went straight to 229 in the first period and smiled brightly. After 229, there were only two jumpers left: Woo Sang-hyeok and Baden. Woo Sang-hyeok challenged 2m32 and touched the bar in the 1st to 3rd periods. Baden challenged 235, but Woo Sang-hyeok’s victory was confirmed as he failed in the first to third rounds. Woo Sang-hyeok had to postpone his goal of challenging 2m37 beyond the Korean record of 2m36 he had set that day.카지노사이트
