The golden generation of swimming expressed deep regret after missing their first-ever medal in the men's 800m relay at the Paris Olympics with a time of 7:07:26 and sixth place on the 31st (Korea time).
Yang Jae-hoon, who was the first English speaker in lane 1, passed the first 100m with 1:49:84 and ninth place. The mission was not carried out in the 46-47s. No. 2 Englishman Lee Ho-joon took over the baton. He ran with a time of 1:46.45 to maintain a time of 3:36.29 and ninth place. Kim Woo-min came out. He went on a heavy chase. With a call time of 1:44.98, he rose to 5:21.27 and eighth place. 'Roommate' handed over the baton to Hwang Sun-woo. 'The ultimate weapon' was reflected by Hwang Sun-woo. However, it was too much to raise the momentum that was too far behind. He recorded 1:45.99 with a time of 7:07:26 and sixth overall. The U.K. (6:59.43), the U.S. (7:00:08), and Australia (7:01.98) hit the touchpad from first to third. Britain has won two consecutive games following the Tokyo Olympics.

I'll prepare well in the next major championship with a little better performance." Lee Ho-joon, who was the second English speaker, said, `I prepared for the Paris Olympics for three years from the Tokyo Olympics, but I ended up with a disappointing result.

"Unfortunately, it was an opportunity to look back on what was lacking. Our members, coach Jeon Dong-hyun. Coach Junghoon Lee, trainer Park Ji-hoon, there were many people who supported me, but I'm sorry that I didn't show you anything at the Paris Olympics, but I have time to make up for it, so I'll go back to Korea and prepare harder to show you a good performance." "I was disappointed and embarrassed that the record was below my peak at the Paris Olympics. It is an opportunity to take a second look at what is lacking. I thought I had learned for three years, but I felt deeply that I was lacking. I want to show a good performance at the next major tournament, the next Asian Games."
