“I hope I place 3rd at the Doha World Championships and 1st at the Tokyo Olympics.”

Kim Woo-min (22, Gangwon Provincial Office) took a picture of the touchpad and stretched out three fingers, enjoying the joy of winning three awards.

After he got out of the water, he bowed loudly to his parents in the stands. **[카지노사이트](https://www.casinositetop.com)**

Kim Woo-min, who won the men's 400m freestyle swimming event at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center in Zhejiang Province, China on the 29th by overwhelming his competitors, said, "I hope my gold medal will be a good gift to Korean fans on the day of Chuseok."

He added, "The audience bowed loudly.

“I said this to my parents, but please think of it as being directed to everyone who supported me,” he said.

On this day, Kim Woo-min won the competition with a time of 3 minutes 44.36 seconds, taking home three gold medals.

He won his third gold medal in this competition, following the men's 800m relay and 800m freestyle.

He finished second in the 1,500m freestyle and won a total of four medals in Hangzhou.

In the main event, 400m, the competition ended early.

Kim Woo-min was the first to turn 50m, and after that, he widened the gap and won comfortably.

[Fan Zhanle](https://penzu.com/p/bcad4efa3cae43e8), who holds the Asian record for the 100m freestyle (46.97 seconds), was no match for Kim Woo-min in the 400m.

Fan Zhanle (China), who took second place on this day, recorded a time of 3 minutes 48.81 seconds, which was 4.45 seconds slower than Kim Woo-min.

Kim Woo-min was satisfied with the ranking, but was dissatisfied with the record.

He said, "It feels good to have won three gold medals on Chuseok.

It is said that I am the first Korean athlete to win three gold medals in this competition, and this title is also an honor."

He added, "I improved my speed a lot by participating in the men's 800m relay on the 24th, and I finished the 1,500m freestyle on the 25th.

"Afterward, my body was in so much pain that it broke down. Resting because there was no race on the 26th helped me a lot, and I felt at ease after winning the 800m freestyle gold medal on the 27th.

I recovered well and competed in normal condition today," he recalled.

In fact, [Kim Woo-min](https://bm.cari.com.my/home.php?mod=space&uid=2570082&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=485384) is the ‘strongest Asian athlete’ in the 400m freestyle, taking 6th place at the 2022 Budapest World Championships and 5th place at the 2023 Fukuoka World Championships.

Deep down, Kim Woo-min reduced his personal best of 3 minutes, 43.92 seconds by nearly a second to enter the first time of 3 minutes, 42 seconds, and also set a goal of winning three gold medals.

Kim Woo-min said, "I led the race and wanted to challenge the record.

To compete with world-class athletes, I had to set a higher record, so today I set speed from the beginning.

I am dissatisfied with today's record.

I did not show everything I had prepared.

“He expressed regret.

He added, "My score in this competition was 95 points.

I showed a lack of performance in the 1,500m freestyle, and although I won the 400m, I was not able to achieve the level of record I wanted."

Kim Woo-min's dream goes beyond being "the best in Asia" and becoming "top of the world."

Because it touches, the embrace is dissatisfied.

Kim Woo-min, who has solidified his position as 'Asia's strongest', looks at the world again.

The Doha World Championships will be held in February next year, and the Paris Olympics will open in July.

Kim Woo-min said, “My goal is to get on the podium at the Paris Olympics next year,” and told himself, “I need to perform well at the Doha World Championships to get even better results at the Paris Olympics.”

He then revealed greater aspirations.

Kim Woo-min said, “I took 6th place in Budapest and 5th place in Fukuoka, so I will take 3rd place at the [Doha World Championships](https://linkhay.com/blog/953947/national-baseball-team-coach-ryu-joong-il),” and then skipped second place and said with a bright expression, “I want to take 1st place at the Paris Olympics.”
