Woo Sang-hyuk, who left for Hong Kong on March 18, returned home late in the afternoon on April 30.

Woo Sang-hyuk, who set his body clock on August 11th when the Paris Olympic finals will be held, will build his momentum by competing at home and abroad in May.

His first game of the outdoor season will be played domestically.

Woo Sang-hyuk will participate in the men's high jump collegiate and general division competition at the 52nd KBS Cup National Athletics Championships held at Yecheon Stadium in Gyeongbuk on the 3rd.

He participated in a total of four indoor competitions in February and March.

Woo Sang-hyuk, who took second place in Justopece, Czech Republic (2m33) on February 11, reached the top in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia (2m32) on February 14th, and in Nehvizdi, Czech Republic (2m30) on February 21st.

He placed third at the World Indoor Championships (2m 28) in Glasgow, Scotland, England on March 3, which was the last competition of this year's indoor season.

Afterwards, Woo Sang-hyuk continued training in Korea and Hong Kong and will compete outdoors starting in May.

After playing the first outdoor game of the season at KBS Bae, Woo Sang-hyuk leaves for Doha, Qatar.

‘The best active jumper’ Mutaz Essa Barsim (32, Qatar) will join hands with the Qatar Athletics Federation to hold the ‘What Gravity Challenge’ at the Katara Amphitheater in Doha on the 9th.

Barshim pledged, “I will create a competition where the world’s top 12 men’s high jumpers can jump,” and jumpers who command the world stage actually responded to Barsim’s invitation.

Woo Sang-hyuk is also a player that Barshim put a lot of effort into.

Last February, Woo Sang-hyuk and Barshim trained in Germany, and during this time, Barshim contacted Woo Sang-hyuk and politely asked him to participate in the competition.

Woo Sang-hyuk readily responded to Barshim’s request.

The list of participants in the What Gravity Challenge is so spectacular that it is comparable to the 'Olympic Finals'.

Barsim, Woo Sang-hyuk, Gianmarco Tamberg (Italy), and Juvon Harrison (USA), who are currently classified as the 'big four' in world track and field men's high jump, will all participate in this competition.

In addition to the 'Big 4', top athletes who can be considered as doubles at the Paris Olympics will also participate, such as Hamish Kerr (New Zealand), who won this year's World Indoor Championships, and Andriy Protsenko (Ukraine), who ranked third at the 2022 Eugene World Championships.

For Woo Sang-hyuk, it is a good opportunity to check the 'current physical condition' of the athletes who will compete for medals at this year's Paris Olympics.

On the 19th, he will participate in the 2024 Seiko Golden Grand Prix held in Tokyo, Japan, aiming for his second consecutive victory in the competition.

Woo Sang-hyuk is as greedy about achieving 2m37 as he is about ranking.

2m37 is the height that can guarantee victory in major athletics competitions.

He also had a first place record of 2m37 at the 2019 Doha World Championships (Barsim), the 2021 Tokyo Olympics (Barsim and Tambury jointly won), and the 2022 Eugene World Championships (Barsim).

At the 2023 Budapest World Championships, Tamberg won with 2m 36.

Woo Sang-hyuk imagines the thrill of winning a gold medal at the Paris Olympics by surpassing 2m37, 1cm higher than his own Korean record of 2m36.

Before the Paris Olympics opened, he also expressed his desire to surpass 2m37 and arrive in Paris as a 'winner'.

Woo Sang-hyuk will continue his challenge of 2m37 by participating in more than three competitions in May.

The KBS Cup, a national competition held for the first time by the Korea Athletics Federation this year, will feature approximately 2,300 athletes in 141 events from elementary, middle, high school, college, and general divisions.

In addition to Woo Sang-hyuk, you can see top domestic athletes in each event, including men's triple jumper Kim Jang-woo (Korean Army Athletic Corps) and men's 20km walker Choi Byeong-gwang (Samsung Electronics), who are attempting to qualify for the Paris Olympics.

Men's high school shot putter Park Si-hoon (Geumgo), 100m Namadi Joel Jin (Gimpo Science and Technology High School), women's 100m high school Lee Da-won (Seoul Physical Education High School), javelin thrower Kim Min-ji (Jeonbuk Physical Education High School), 1,500m Song Da-won (Yeongcheon Seongnam Girls' High School), etc.

A large number of next-generation prospects who will lead the future of Korean athletics will also participate.
