“I will show you that Korea (athletic) is alive. Since Lee Jin -il has a bad grades, it is said to be a recession, but I want to prove that it is not just so far.
Lee Jae -woong (23, Armed Forces Sports Forces), who wrote a Korean record of 1500m in Korea in 32 years, was confused. He met him on the 21st at the Gangwon Jeongseon Stadium where the national athletic championship was held. He won the Hokren Distance Challenge (mid -range competition) second tournament in Hokkaido, Japan on the 14th. 3 minutes 38 seconds 55. This is a Korean record that shortened the previous Korean record (3:38 seconds 60, Kim Soon -hyung in 1993) by 0.05 seconds.
The men’s athletic long distance was a long recession since the 1990s. Lee Jin -il won the men’s 800m, 1600m relay and two crowns in the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games. Lee Jin -il’s 800m Korean record (1 minute 44 seconds 14, 1994) is Cheolseong. Since Lee Jin -il, there is no player in the middle and long distance, so the idea of ”Korean heavy and long -term” was prevalent in the land world. Lee Jae -woong is a player who broke this sense of enthusiasm in the land world.
Lee Jae -woong, who was first selected as the national team last year, won the silver medal after last month’s Asian Athletics Championships after Kazuto (Japan, 3:42:56). 0.23 seconds behind Izawa, he beat another competitor Yunus Sha (India) by 0.24 seconds. On the 11th, he wrote a new record of the Korean men’s general department at 3 minutes and 40 seconds 19 at the Hokren Distance Challenge. “It’s 12 seconds from the world record (3 minutes 26 seconds 00), but it can be said that it is almost impossible, but I still want to show you how much you can shoulder.”
Hwang Joon -seok (42), who taught Lee Jae -woong during the middle and high school, said, “1500m is important for speed and muscle, and Jaewoong has a different way of natural constitution. In 2022, the Hangzhou Asian Games are 3:38 seconds 36.
Lee Jae -woong, who was born and raised in Yeongcheon, Gyeongbuk, was judged and changed to athletics in the fifth grade of elementary school. The unique Akbari is prominent in the middle and long distance since middle school. In the third year of middle school, he replaced the 1500m middle school record (3:58 seconds 34) and the high school record (3:44 seconds 18) in the second year of high school. He said, “1500m should be a ‘hexagonal’ player. You have to have speed, endurance, muscle strength, mental power, mind control, and lace operating ability. Among them, the ability to push up to the end is the roots of endurance.”
Lee’s next goal is to participate in the World Athletics Championships. It is not impossible to participate in the Tokyo World Championship in September. 56 people have won the world championship with season records and world rankings, and he is currently 60th. In the remaining two months, the company plans to build the ranking point as much as possible. Right now, he will participate in another Distance Challenge series in Japan and the international competition in Kazakhstan.
