Korean swimming, aiming for the second Olympic medal, will get back on lane 1 of Miracle Lane.
The men's relay team consisting of Hwang Sun-woo (21, Gangwon Provincial Office), Kim Woo-min (23, Gangwon Provincial Office), Yang Jae-hoon (26, Gangwon Provincial Office), Lee Ho-joon (23, Jeju City Hall), Lee Yoo-yeon (24, Goyang City Hall), and Kim Young-hyun (20, Anyang City Hall) passed the men's 800m relay qualifying round for the 2024 Paris Olympics with a time of 7:07.96 on the 30th (Korea time). It is followed by the U.S. with a time of 7:05:57, France with a time of 7:05:61, and Germany with a time of 7:06:20. In total, he ranked seventh out of 16 countries including the results of Group 2, narrowly winning the final ticket given to the top eight teams.
South Korea, which reached its first Olympic final in swimming history, had the opportunity to challenge for its first medal in the final at 5:15 a.m. on the 31st. Lane is number one. In the swimming event, the seventh place in the preliminary round will be the first place in the final round. The 1st to 3rd place in the preliminary round will be assigned lanes 4, 5, and 3, respectively. No. 1 is not a very advantageous lane, but the situation is different at this Olympics. Earlier, Kim Woo-min won the bronze medal in the 400m freestyle final by climbing into lane 1 and finishing third overall with a time of 4:30:52. The medal was very meaningful because it was the first time in 12 years that Park Tae-hwan won the medal after winning the medal in the 2012 London Olympics.

Formed by a strong friendship, 'Dream Team' heralds the release of the second season of 'Miracle on Lane 1'. There is also good news. In order to concentrate on the relay event, Hwang Sun-woo boldly gave up his participation in the race despite the difficulty of winning a ticket to the 100m freestyle semi-final. Hwang Sun-woo has worked hard to prepare for the relay for three years, from the Tokyo Olympics to the World Championships and the Asian Games. I'm proud to be with the six members. "We prepared without any regrets. I don't think I've worked out in vain in the last three years. I want to do my best according to the given situation."
South Korea set new Asian and Korean records with a time of 7:01.73 at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, and also won a silver medal at the Doha World Championships in February by achieving a time of 7:01:94. A bronze medal is a realistic goal after Britain and the United States, who are competing for first and second place in the world, but if they can enter the "sixth minute of their dreams", they can climb higher in the podium.
