About two months later, on the 26th, in the final of the men's 400m medley relay at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center in Zhejiang Province, China, Korea shortened the Korean record again to 3 minutes 32.05 seconds.

Shortening the record led to a shining silver medal.

Backstroke Joo-ho Lee (28, Seogwipo City Hall), breaststroke Choi Dong-yeol (24, Gangwon Provincial Office), butterfly Kim Young-beom (17, Gangwon Physical Education High School), and freestyle Hwang Seon-woo, who set a new Korean record two months ago, worked together on this day as well, breaking the previous record by 2.20 seconds. or reduced.

Although China, which set a new Asian record of 3 minutes 27.01 seconds (previously 3 minutes 29.00 seconds), could not surpass it, it achieved its realistic goal of second place.

Japan took third place after Korea with a time of 3 minutes 32.52 seconds.

Hwang Sun-woo, who met after the game, said, "I beat the previous Korean record with these members by more than 2 seconds," and added, "I'm happy that my brothers and sisters did really well.

I want to continue to shorten the Korean record with these members."

Sunwoo Hwang, who competed in the 100m freestyle preliminaries and finals (bronze medal) on the 24th and the men's 800m relay finals (gold medal) on the 25th, willingly stepped up as the final runner in the 400m medley relay finals.

South Korea's last runner, Hwang Seon-woo, who started 0.08 seconds later than Japan, recorded a time of 47.63 seconds in the 100m section, completing a thrilling victory by beating Japan's last runner Nakamura with 48.16 seconds.

Hwang Sun-woo expressed his camaraderie by saying, “I decided to run as much as possible in the team finals even before coming to Hangzhou, as I was only allowed to participate in the finals without running in the 800m relay and 400m medley relay preliminaries.

It’s fun to create records together.”

The three players who fought closely against Japan to help Hwang Sun-woo complete the comeback also shone.

Lee Joo-ho, who had only won three bronze medals in the Asian Games until this day, said, "I beat the Japanese players by teaming up with the best active Korean players in each event," and added, "I had fun playing with good players.

I'm really satisfied."

Choi Dong-yeol, who won the silver medal on this day following the bronze medal in the men's 100m breaststroke the previous day, said, "I had the image that Korean swimming was ranked 3rd in Asia after China and Japan, and it means a lot to take second place in the medley relay."

He added, "If I prepare hard, I can one day achieve the highest level."

“I will be able to stand somewhere,” he said, expressing his desire to become the top of Asia.

Youngest Kim Young-beom said, "It means a lot to shorten the record in two months.

It's even more meaningful because I played with my older brothers who are good at it."

Just like two months ago, Hwang Sun-woo predicted a higher leap forward for the men's medley relay.

He said, "Because our members work really well together, we were able to keep breaking the Korean record.

The Olympics, World Championships, and Asian Games will be held in the future.

I want to achieve better records and results with this member."

First of all, Hwang Sun-woo must show off his individual skills in the 200m freestyle on the 27th.

Sunwoo Hwang said, "My main event, the 200m freestyle, will be held tomorrow.

I was disappointed that I could not give my all in the 100m freestyle," and promised, "I will bring out all the results of my training so far in the 200m freestyle tomorrow."
