In the first period, he easily beat Oleh Doroshuk (Ukraine), who ran over 2m31 and 2m28 and Ryoichi Akamatsu (Japan), who crossed 2m25. to train in Thailand, South Korea Woo Sang-hyuk, who went to the Czech Republic early on the 20th of last month and sweated, was not satisfied at 2m31 and tried 2m35 and 2m37 in succession after the victory was confirmed, but unfortunately, his body got stuck in the bar. For a moment, he waved his hand to the stands with a unique smile.
For Woo Sang-hyuk, Hustopeche is 'Land of Promises'. He set a new Korean record by surpassing 2m36 at the 2022 Hustopeche competition. Woo Sang-hyuk, who gained momentum, won the Belgrade World Indoor Championships with a 2m24 and finished second with a 2m35 at the Eugene Outdoor World Championships, rewriting Korean track and field history. Woo Sang-hyuk, who won a medal in Hustopeche for the first time in three years, received a lot of support whenever he came to Hustopeche through the organizing committee. I ran happily while receiving support today as well. Thank you very much."
Six of the 13 finalists from the Paris Olympics participated in the event. Olympic medalists Hamish Kerr (New Zealand), Shelby McCuan (USA), and Mutaz Essa Barshim (Qatar) were absent, but Paris Olympics 4th place Stefano Sotile (Italy), 5th place Akamatsu, 6th place Doroshuk, 9th place Jan Stefela (Czech Republic), and 12th place Brian Latz (South Africa) participated. He announced a strong start by winning the competition with world-class players.
Woo Sang-hyuk will play his second game of the season in Banskavistritza, Slovakia on the 19th. The Olympics and Asian Games will not be held in 2025, but the World Indoor Championships will be held in Nanjing, China, on March 21-23. Woo Sang-hyuk, who finished seventh with a disappointing 2m27 at the Paris Olympics, has a great opportunity to reclaim the world's top spot. In the second half of the year, the World Outdoor Championships will be held in Tokyo, Japan, from September 13 to 21. Woo is slowly climbing up for his third Olympics, the 2028 LA Olympics.
