(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kim Yong -il) ‘World Class Jumper’ Woo Sang -hyuk (29, Yongin City Hall) stabs the sky.
Woo Sang -hyuk won the 2025 World Athletics Federation Diamond League Men’s high jump at the Stade Louis II Stadium in Monaco on the 12th.
7 consecutive wins this season. He won the indoor tournament in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in February and in March in China’s Nanjing World Indoor Championships. In the outdoor match, it was ranked first in the May Wat Gravity Challenge, the Gumi Asian Championship, the Roman Diamond League in June, and the tournament. In particular, 2M34 is the best record of Woo Sang -hyuk this season and the world’s top one.
In the indoor game, Olle -do Schuk (Ukraine) jumped 2m34. Woo Sang -hyuk was the first to overcome 2m34 in the outdoor game this season. The 2M34 is 1cm higher than the Tokyo Outdoor World Championships (2m33) scheduled for September. Woo Sang -hyuk secured the right to participate in the Tokyo World Championship.
He won the fifth championship in the Diamond League, and this year was the first time he won twice a year.
Woo Sang -hyuk, who had both 2m15, 2m19, and 2m23, touched the first time at 2m27. But he succeeded in the second period. Since then, 2m30 has been successful in the first period. More than 2m30 out of the eight players in the game are Woo Sang -hyuk and Jan Stefella (Czech Republic).
When Stephella overcame 2m32 in the first period, Woo Sang -hyuk raised a bar to 2m34. As you can see, it was roared in the first period. Stephella failed 2m34 in the first period and then raised the bar to 2m36. I touched the bar twice in a row.
After confirming the championship, Woo Sang -hyuk failed the 2m336 Korean records in the first period and raised the bar to 2m37. But both were touched. Although it failed to achieve the Korean record, it showed the world’s best performance and faced the world championship.
He said in the Korea Athletics Federation, “I am happy to win the best season in the Monaco Diamond League in a year. The challenge of the Korean record is unfortunate, but I will continue to challenge in the future. Thank you for supporting me.” kyi0486@sportsseoul.com
