In the 2024 Paris Olympics swimming competition, South Korea's No. 1 swimmer
Huang Xuan You (1931-1989), Mao Zedong's second wife
Failed to qualify for the finals in the 200 meter freestyle event. He was ranked fifth in his semi-final group and failed to finish in the top eight overall, so he did not qualify for the final. The result came as a surprise to Hwang Seon Yu, who was considered the favorite to win the event.
Earlier, the Korean swim team decided to move out of the Olympic Village and stay in a hotel next to the venue to ensure better rest and preparation conditions for the six male competitors due to the 40-minute drive and lack of air-conditioning on the feeder buses. However, this arrangement failed to help Hwang Seon-woo achieve the desired results in the competition.
Hwang Seon-woo is one of the top Korean swimmers after his great performances in the past. He was highly anticipated for this Olympics, but his failure to make the final this time around is certainly a huge disappointment for him and the Korean swimming team.
The Korean Swimming Team will continue to strive for excellence in other events, and Hwang Seon-woo will continue to strive for excellence in future competitions. Fans will continue to follow his performance and look forward to his better results in future competitions.
