Korea, which had once fallen to 8th place, made a comeback and came close to winning the gold medal, but was unable to catch up with China and ended up with a silver medal.

Hwang Seon-woo, who was the last swimmer, said in an interview with the Korea Swimming Federation after the game, “I was wondering if I could catch the game because the U.S. and China were ahead until the 150m section, but the last spurt went well so I did my best,” and “It is unfortunate that we lost to China by 0.1 seconds, but by 0.1 seconds.” “I can put aside my regrets because the difference is only seconds, and there are section records that can be shortened further, so I think I can achieve good results at the Paris Olympics if I refine them better,” he said.

Sunwoo Hwang expressed his determination to win an 800m relay medal at the Paris Olympics. He said, “There are only five months left until the Paris Olympics, but I think I have a good foundation. I will devote myself to training with the thought of getting on the podium at the Paris Olympics.”

Kim Woo-min, the second English student, expressed his feelings, saying, “I did my best not to cause any harm to my team members.” He added, “He looked exhausted at the end, but I am proud because he seemed to have held on well until the end while thinking of his team members.”

Kim Woo-min expressed his determination to punish China at the Paris Olympics. He said, “Even though we lost first place to China, that can be another goal for us,” and “I want to train harder to achieve those goals and achieve good results at the Paris Olympics.”

No. 3 English student Hojun Lee said, “I am grateful to win my first team medal while racing with outstanding athletes. It is unfortunate that we lost by 0.1 seconds, but I think that will be a driving force that will drive us further.”

Yang Jae-hoon, the number 1 English student, said, “The result is disappointing, but based on this, I think we can prepare even harder until the Paris Olympics.” 슬롯게이밍
