Swimming stars Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min are focusing on improving their condition after the national team selection competition last month.
Last February, he confirmed his world-class skills by winning gold medals in the 200m and 400m freestyle at the Doha World Championships.
In order to win a medal at the Olympics, where all the strongest athletes are present, they must beat their own best record one more time.
Kim Woo-min played a prelude to the Olympics against world-class powerhouse Samuel Shorts at the Australian Open.
Hwang Sun-woo is also gaining practical experience by considering participating in international competitions next month.

‘Badminton Empress’ Ahn Se-young, who announced her health by winning twice in the last four international competitions, has the top priority to be in top condition for the remaining 100 days.
As he has already proven his world-class skills, if he overcomes the injury factor, he can expect to win the first Olympic gold medal in 30 years since Bang Bang-hyeon in 1994.
‘Smile Jumper’ high jumper Woo Sang-hyuk is preparing for the Olympics by constantly participating in international competitions.
If he surpasses his personal best of 2m 36, he will be able to write a new history as the first medal in track and field events in the history of Korean athletics.

In addition, Im Si-hyeon, who won three gold medals in archery in Hangzhou, has set a record of 10 consecutive wins in the women’s archery team competition and is aiming for multiple gold medals in the individual competition.
