Four consecutive freestyle 200m World Championships have been missed, but the solo exhibition is not over. Hwang Sun -woo (22, Gangwon -do Office) will advance to the free 100m semi -finals and challenge the solo medal once again in this competition.
Hwang Sun -woo won the eighth place (47 seconds 94) in the 2025 World Swimming Federation World Championship men’s freestyle 100m qualifiers held in Kalang, Singapore, on the 30th. In the 200m finals of the day before, he was fourth in 0.18 seconds, and set up a stage to soothe the podium.

Since then, he has won the world championship podium for three consecutive times, including 200m, 2022 Budapest, 2023 Fukuoka Tournament (Bronze Medal), and 2024 Dose (Gold Medal), but did not give affection for freestyle 100m.
