Kim Min-seop (20, Dokdo Sports Team), the national swimming team, set a new Korean record for the first time in 17 months in the men’s 200m butterfly.
Kim Min-seop set a new Korean record with a time of 1 minute 55.45 seconds in the men’s 200m butterfly preliminaries at the ‘KB Finance Korea Swimming Championships’ held on the 22nd at the Gimcheon Indoor Swimming Pool in Gyeongsangbuk-do in conjunction with the 2024 Paris Olympic Management National Team Selection Competition.
Kim Min-seop, who won his first Taegeuk mark as the youngest member at the 2019 Gwangju World Aquatics Championships, set his first Korean record with 1 minute 55.95 seconds at the 2023 national team selection competition held on November 6, 2022. After 17 months, he set a new Korean record by beating his own record by 0.5 seconds.
After the game, Kim Min-seop said, “I just wanted to check the record, but it came out better than expected. After the 150m mark, he saw his coach’s signal, so he picked up the pace a little more. “He felt good,” he said.
Kim Min-seop, who set the first Korean record in this competition, will receive a prize of 1 million won for the new record.
Meanwhile, among the winners of each event, up to two who pass the Olympic standard record can independently confirm their participation in the Olympics.
Kim Min-seop, who has already passed the Paris Olympic standard time (OQT) of 1 minute 55.78 seconds for the 200m butterfly stroke, can qualify for the Olympics on his own if he wins the final to be held on the 27th. 토토사이트
