Hwang Sun-woo, Overcame Food Poisoning and Won 5 Awards
National Sports Festival Hwang Sun-woo, who overcame food poisoning and won 5 awards, said, “I want to eat well-cooked ramen”
He ate yukhoe the day before the opening and lost 5kg. “I won’t eat raw food from now on.”
He ends the National Sports Festival with a smile, saying, “I won’t even go into the water for a few days.”
Hwang Seon-woo (20, Gangwon Provincial Office), the star of Korean swimming, has had a tight schedule starting with the Fukuoka Swimming World Championships (July), the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games (September), and the 104th Jeonnam National Sports Festival (National Sports Festival).
“First of all, I want to cook and eat ramen, which is soul food,” he said, expressing his thoughts after completing the competition. 카지노
After winning the gold medal in the men’s 400m medley relay in the final swimming event of the National Sports Festival held at the Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool in Jeollanam-do on the 19th, Hwang Seon-woo ate up his appetite while thinking about ramen.
Athletes who have finished a big competition often relieve stress by eating foods they have avoided for reasons such as weight management.
The same goes for Hwang Seon-woo.
Even after finishing the Hangzhou Asian Games last month, he ‘rewarded’ himself by eating ramen.
This time, he specifically chose ‘well-cooked’ ramen.
There was a reason.
On the 12th, a day before the opening of the National Sports Festival, Hwang Sun-woo visited a restaurant in downtown Mokpo with his teammates and suffered from food poisoning after eating raw meat.
I don’t usually eat raw food, but a plate of raw meat given to me by someone around me became a problem.
Hwang Seon-woo suffered from fever and stomach upset and lost about 5kg of his weight in two days.
Even in the worst of circumstances, Hwang Sun-woo used all his strength to win gold medals in all five events he participated in.
He said, “It was difficult not only for me but also for all my fellow players,” and “I am fortunate that I was able to achieve my goal of 5 gold medals in the worst situation.”
Hwang Sun-woo said, “I will not eat raw food from now on,” and “I will also eat well-cooked ramen.”
Hwang Sun-woo, who has a weakened immune system due to food poisoning, plans to focus only on recovery without training for about 4 to 5 days.
He laughed and said, “I won’t even go into the water for a few days.”
Hwang Sun-woo, who won five awards under the worst conditions, praised himself.
He said, “I won 5 gold medals two years ago, but it feels different than then,” and “I am especially happy to have won 5 gold medals in the general division.”
Hwang Seon-woo won five gold medals at the 2021 National Sports Festival while attending Seoul Physical Education High School and received the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP).
However, at the time, in the aftermath of the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), it was scaled down to a high school competition for players under the age of 19, so it was pointed out that it was a ‘half-contest’.
Hwang Seon-woo won four gold medals at the National Sports Festival last year, his first time competing as a member of the general division, and was named MVP of the tournament.
This year, he emerged as a strong candidate for MVP by winning his first five gold medals in the general division.
If Hwang Sun-woo wins MVP again this year, he will be the first player in the history of the National Sports Festival to receive the award for three consecutive years.
He said, “Isn’t it true that only one person can set the first record?” and added, “I really want to ride since I performed without any regrets.”
The MVP of the competition will be decided by voting by the press, and the winner will be announced on the afternoon of the 19th.
