Woo Sang-hyuk fought hard at the Taiwan International Track and Field Championships and won fourth place with a height of 2.22 meters | Dong-A Ilbo

“High jump star” Woo Sang-hyuk (28, Yongin City Hall), who fought hard in the rain, won fourth place at the 2024 Taiwan International Track and Field Championships.

Wu Shanghe ranked fourth among 12 athletes with a score of 2.22 meters in the men’s high jump competition held in Taipei, Taiwan on the 1st.

He participated in this competition as a special guest, but failed to make it to the podium because his result was far from his personal best (2.36 meters). Due to the rainy weather, he was unable to perform normally. There were also some mistakes.

Akamatsu Ryoichi (Japan), Fu Zhaoxuan (Taiwan), and Eto Takashi (Japan), who are over 2.25 meters tall, ranked 1st to 3rd according to the number of failures.

Woo Sang-hyuk easily surpassed the mark of 2 minutes and 16 seconds in the first quarter and successfully passed the mark of 2 minutes and 22 seconds in the second quarter.

Yu Sang-hyuk, who passed the 2.25-meter test, applied for a 2.28-meter test, but things went against his wishes and he failed again and again.

Not only Woo Sang-hyuk, but also Akamatsu, Fu Zhaoxuan and Jiang Teng who attempted 2.28 meters also touched the crossbar. The ranking was divided according to the time over 2.25 meters.

In the end, Woo Sang-hyuk’s record skipped 2.25 meters and finally became 2.22 meters.

In addition, Woo Sang-hyuk, who has finished the competition, will concentrate on training for a period of time and then participate in two Diamond Leagues (Monaco and London) in July to prepare for the final preparations before the Paris Olympics.

Woo Sang-hyuk’s ultimate goal is the 2024 Paris Olympics. Unfortunately, he did not win a medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, only finishing fourth (2.35 meters).
