Yoon Ji-hwan took a touchpad at 25.01 seconds in the men’s 50-meter backstroke preliminary round of the 2024 International Swimming Federation World Championships held at Earthfire Dome in Doha, Qatar on the 17th, winning a ticket to the semifinals that the top 16 received, ranking 9th out of 45 people.

Yoon’s reaction time from the start was 0.65 seconds, the fourth-slowest among 45 players. His lack of experience was revealed when he started, but he advanced to the semifinals by speeding up. It is the first time in seven years that a Korean player has advanced to the semifinals in the men’s 50m backstroke at the World Championships since Won Young-jun in 2017.

Yoon is aiming to become the first Korean to advance to the finals and break the Korean record (24.93 seconds) in the semifinals, which will take place on Friday morning, Korean time. Yoon is the youngest Korean male manager to participate in the Doha World Championships.

She set a personal best of 24.96 seconds to rank No. 1 at the 2024 swimming national team competition. She also passed the 50-meter backstroke record of 25.16 seconds, sufficiently to qualify for the World Championships. 메이저 토토사이트
