Kim Young-beom (17), a promising swimmer in his second year at Gangwon Physical Education High School, experienced a thrilling moment in the men’s high school 100m butterfly swimming event at the 104th Jeonnam National Sports Festival held at the Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool in Jeollanam-do on the 18th.
He hit the mark with a record of 51.97 seconds, breaking the Korean record (51.99 seconds) set last year by Korean swimming star Hwang Seon-woo (Gangwon Province Office) by 0.02 seconds.
It was the first time in Kim Young-beom’s life that he set a Korean record in an individual event.
But the joy did not last long.
About 5 minutes later, Yang Jae-hoon (Gangwon Provincial Office), who participated in the men’s 100m butterfly race, set a new record of 51.85 seconds, breaking Kim Young-beom’s record.
When Yang Jae-hoon’s record appeared on the electronic display, cheers and murmurs followed from the audience.
One official also said, “Isn’t this the shortest-maintained Korean record in history?”
Kim Young-beom’s face was not very bright when I met him after the game.
In a ‘joint interview’ with Yang Jae-hoon, he courageously said, “Breaking the Korean record is important,” and added, “My record was broken, but I feel good because I achieved a meaningful record.”
He then said, “Of course I have some regrets, but I can do it again in the next competition,” and pledged, “I am not as good at dolphin kicks as my brothers, but I will make up for it and achieve good results.”
Although the time of joy was short-lived, the prize money of 1 million won for the new Korean record was still received.
Kim Young-beom said, “I haven’t thought about what I will use it for yet,” and after thinking about it, he said, “First, I will buy a pair of good sneakers.”
Yang Jae-hoon, who sat next to Kim Young-beom, did not seem very happy.
He said, “It is amazing that a high school student has set a Korean record,” and encouraged him, saying, “I think he will grow into a good player if he makes the team.”
After the interview, the two players affectionately put their arms around each other when asked to take a photo.
Only then did the player smile brightly.
