Baek In-cheol (23, Busan Jung-gu Office), the men's 50m butterfly gold medalist at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, won the right to participate in the 2024 World Aquatics World Aquatics Championships in Doha.


Baek In-cheol won the men's general division 50m butterfly final at the 2024 Swimming (Management) National Team Selection held at the Gimcheon Indoor Swimming Pool in Gyeongsangbuk-do on the 26th with a time of 23.48.


Baek In-cheol's record of 23.48 seconds was 0.35 seconds slower than the Korean record (23.15 seconds) he set in the men's 50m butterfly final at the 104th National Sports Festival held last month.


However, Baek In-cheol passed the International Aquatics Federation's standard record of 23.53 seconds, making it his second consecutive World Aquatics Championships following this year's Fukuoka Games.


In addition, he became the fourth Korean player to be confirmed to go to Doha, following Lee Joo-ho (28, Seogwipo City Hall), Kim Woo-min (22, Gangwon Provincial Office), and Kim Seo-young (29, Gyeongbuk Provincial Office).


After the game, Baek In-cheol said, “It was very difficult because there were important competitions taking place in succession, including the Asian Games, the National Sports Festival, and this selection competition, but I am proud of myself because I earned the right to participate on my own.” He added, “I hope to show better results at next year’s Doha competition than at the Fukuoka competition.” “That is the goal,” he pledged. 카지노사이트랭크


Baek In-cheol, who willingly agreed to take pictures with the fans who visited the field that day, expressed his gratitude to the fans, saying, “Receiving the support of the fans motivates me and helps me focus better at the stadium.”


Meanwhile, in the men's 100m backstroke final on this day, Lee Joo-ho easily passed the International Aquatics Federation's standard record of 54.03 seconds with a time of 53.56 seconds, earning a ticket to participate in two events following the 200m backstroke.


Lee Joo-ho said, “I was hoping to break the Korean record in the 100m, but it’s disappointing that old habits seem to have come out.” Lee Joo-ho's Korean record for the 100m backstroke is 53.32 seconds, which is 0.24 seconds behind the record set at this competition.


Choi Dong-yeol (24, Gangwon Provincial Office) recorded 27.49 seconds in the 50m breaststroke, passing the Korean Swimming Federation (KSF)'s own standard records in two events following the 100m breaststroke. 섯다
