'Korea Diving Sign'U Ha-ram (26, Korea Sports Promotion Agency) finished the third Olympics in 11th place.
In the men's 3-meter springboard final at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the Aquatic Center in Paris, France on the 8th (Korea Standard Time), Uharam received a total of 374.15 points in the first to sixth periods. Woo Ha-ram, who ranked fourth in Korean diving at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, tried to win a medal, but unfortunately finished 11th out of 12 athletes.
In the semi-finals of the previous day, Uharam ranked ninth out of 18 with a total of 432.00 points in the first to sixth periods, getting tickets to the finals for 12 people. Woo Haram, who reached the Olympic final stage (11th on the men's 10m platform) for the first time in Korean diving at the 2016 Rio Games, has achieved a new era of reaching the final for three consecutive Olympics following the Tokyo Games 1.

In the first period of the day, Woo Haram performed '5154B' in a Pike position where he rotates twice with his body twisted and holds his legs with his arms straightened. It was ranked 10th with 71.40 points. It was a disappointing start. In the second period, he performed 407C with a difficulty of 3.4 and received 68.00 points. It was ranked 10th in the round as it was ranked 9th.
In the third period, he jumped forward and attempted a difficult 3.8-turn (109C) performance in a knee-bending jaw position. I got a disappointing 45.60 points. Rather, the ranking went down one notch to 11th place. In the fourth period, he performed a 307C performance with a difficulty of 3.5. The score was 73.50, the highest so far. He rose to fifth place in the round, raising his overall ranking to 10th.
In the fifth period, Woo Haram, who rose 63.00 points to ninth place with a 205B performance of Nando 3.0, tried to perform '5156B' of Nando 3.9 in the last period, turning three rounds with a body twist and two and a half rounds in a pike position. It remained at 52.65 points with disappointment in the water. Woo Haram finished all the performances with 374.15 points.

Uharam is the 'GOAT' of Korean men's diving. In the Asian Games alone, he won as many as 10 medals (silver 4, bronze 6). He ranked fourth in the individual 1m springboard and 3m springboard events at the 2019 Gwangju World Championships, the highest in Korean men's diving history. In the men's 3-meter springboard at the Tokyo Olympics, he also ranked fourth, the highest ever, raising the dream of an Olympic medal that Korean diving had never imagined.
But I cried at the injury. Due to back pain, he was unable to compete in the 2022 Budapest World Championships. At the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, he was humiliatingly eliminated from the preliminary round in the 3m springboard. Woo Haram, who was desperate, ranked eighth at the 2024 Doha World Championships held in February this year and won the right to participate in the Paris Olympics. It was a great achievement even after the injury.
Afterwards, Woo Haram faithfully improved his physical condition and prepared for the Paris Olympics. Woo Haram, who played in the best shape since the Tokyo Games, did not have the medal ticket he expected, but he did his best to promote Korean diving to the world. Woo Haram will marry diver Cho Eun-ji (Incheon Metropolitan City Hall) in January next year.
