Along with an upset stomach, symptoms of fever and body aches also occurred.

Even though he gave up participating in the National Sports Festival, his body was in perfect condition.

However, Kim Woo-min insisted on participating in the competition.

He said, “I thought I should gain strength as many people support me.”

Kim Woo-min won his first event even though he was in the worst condition.

He won the gold medal in the men's 1,500m freestyle final at the National Sports Festival held at the Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool in Jeollanam-do on the 14th with a time of 15 minutes, 15.75 seconds, beating out his competitors.

After finishing the game, Kim Woo-min said, "It was difficult to play, but I thought it was an experience.

My physical condition is still not good, but I will focus on recovery and the remaining games."

Although I am in the worst condition, I have no intention of giving up on the competition.

He raised his voice, saying, “I really want to win the five gold medals I couldn’t get last year in this competition.”

Kim Woo-min, who won four gold medals at last year's National Sports Festival, is aiming for five gold medals in this competition.

In addition to the men's 1,500m freestyle, he hopes to win the men's 400m freestyle, 400m medley relay, 400m relay, and 800m relay.

If he wins 5 crowns, he could also aim for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the first time in his career.

If Kim Woo-min becomes MVP, it could also put a stop to his national teammate Hwang Seon-woo (20, Gangwon Province Office)'s challenge to become the National Sports Festival MVP for the first three consecutive years.

If Hwang Sun-woo, who received the MVP award at the 2021 and 2022 National Sports Festival, receives MVP again in this competition, he will become the first winner in the history of the National Sports Festival for three consecutive years.

Kim Woo-min said, “Hwang Sun-woo and I will support each other,” and “I will not think of them as competitors.”

The two players are also teammates who must join forces.

Kim Woo-min and Hwang Sun-woo are the same team members in the men's 800m relay on the 15th, the 400m relay on the 17th, and the 400m medley relay on the 19th.

Kim Woo-min said, “I want to achieve good results in both records and rankings as I have prepared hard so far,” and added, “I will achieve good results with my teammates.”

Kim Woo-min is a Korean middle- and long-distance swimmer who won three gold medals at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.

He was also selected as the Korean team's Most Valuable Player (MVP) at the Hangzhou Games, beating out Hwang Sun-woo.
