'blue light'

Woo Sang-hyuk is smiling on the podium after winning his second win of the season by surpassing 2.30m at the World Athletics Federation (WA) indoor tour competition in Nehvizdy, Czech Republic on the 21st.

‘Smile Jumper’ Woo Sang-hyuk (28) took one step forward toward his second consecutive victory at the World Indoor Athletics Championships.

Woo Sang-hyuk lifted the championship trophy with the highest record in the competition's history by exceeding 2m30 in the 2024 World Athletics (WA) Indoor Tour men's high jump competition held in Nehvizdy, Czech Republic on the 21st. It is his second win this season.

Sanghyuk Woo took second place by surpassing 2.33m in Justopece, Czech Republic, where he held his first competition of the season on the 11th. Then, on the 14th, he won his first win of the season with 2m32 in Vans Cavistryca, Slovakia. Although he falls short of the Korean indoor record (2m36) he holds, it is an encouraging sign that he is consistently recording over 2m30 so early in the season. Woo Sang-hyuk also emphasized whenever he had the opportunity, “Average record is as important as best record.”

This season, Woo Sang-hyuk is moving along the same path as the 2022 season, when he ranked first in the WA rankings for the first time. At the time, Woo Sang-hyuk took the top spot (2m34) at the World Indoor Championships in Belgrade after completing warm-ups by participating in three competitions in a row at the start of the season. Woo Sang-hyuk was the first Korean athlete to win the World Indoor Athletics Championships across all events.

Now, Woo Sang-hyuk will move to Glasgow, England, where the World Indoor Championships will be held on the 1st to 3rd of next month, and begin the final inspection. Woo Sang-hyuk said, “During the competition, I identified areas for improvement. He said, “I will do my best to win the first medal in Korean track and field history not only at the World Indoor Championships but also at the Paris Olympics (opening in July).” 고스톱사이트
