‘Smile Jumper’ Woo Sang-hyuk (28, Yongin City Hall) will compete in his third actual match in the 2024 outdoor season in Tokyo, Japan.

Sanghyuk Woo will participate in the 2024 Seiko Golden Grand Prix held at the National Stadium in Tokyo, Japan on the 19th.

This competition is one of the World Association of Athletics Federations Continental Tour Gold Meeting series.

A total of 10 athletes will participate in the men's high jump, and 'defending champion' Woo Sang-hyuk is considered the strongest candidate for the championship.

Sanghyuk Woo holds a personal record of 2m36, and is the only Seiko Grand Prix participant to have won a medal in a major competition.

Woo Sang-hyuk took 4th place over 2m35 at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021, becoming a world-class jumper.

Since then, he has built a brilliant career, including winning the 2022 World Indoor Championships (2m34), second place in the Outdoor World Championships (2m35), and winning the 2023 Diamond League Final (2m35).

Sanghyuk Woo also won the Seiko Golden Grand Prix last year by exceeding 2m 29.

There is an opponent who threatens Woo Sang-hyuk.

Brandon Starck (30, Australia), who holds a personal best of 2m 36 and came in 5th place at the Tokyo Olympics, and Vernon Turner (25, USA, personal best 2m 33), who came in 3rd place at the Suzhou Diamond League in China last April, are Woo Sang-hyuk's competitors. It is considered as

Sanghyuk Woo participated in 12 competitions with Starc and achieved ‘6 wins and 6 losses’. However, in the last 6 matches, he overwhelmed Stark with 5 wins and 1 loss.

He faced Turner once at the 2024 Glasgow World Indoor Championships, with Woo Sang-hyuk taking third place (2m 28) and Turner taking sixth place (2m 24).

Japanese jumpers Tomohiro Shinno (personal best 2m 31) and Ryoichi Akamatsu (2m 30) are classified as doubles.

Sanghyuk Woo participated in a total of four indoor competitions in February and March this year.

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.

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, he placed third.

Afterwards, Woo Sang-hyuk continued training in Korea and Hong Kong and began competing outdoors in May.

He surpassed 2m 25 (1st place) at the Yecheon KBS Cup, a domestic competition on May 3, and took second place by surpassing 2m 31 at the What Gravity Challenge in Doha, Qatar, where 12 of the world's top jumpers participated, on the 9th.

The record of Mutaz Essa Barsim (Qatar), the ‘best active jumper’ who won the What Gravity Challenge, was 2m 31.

Barsim cleared 2m31 in the first period, and Woo Sang-hyuk crossed the mark in the third period, splitting 1st and 2nd place.

Woo Sang-hyuk sees May as a ‘period to raise economic awareness.’

He focused on physical strength and strength training in Hong Kong from March 18 to April 30.

He also strengthened his fundamentals by not participating in the two Diamond League competitions held in China in April.

It was a strategy with a ‘mid- to long-term perspective’ that set the body clock for August 11th, when the Paris Olympic finals will be held.

As I focus on physical strength and strength training, my ‘practical sense’ is still at the 70-80% level.

Woo Sang-hyuk and Kim Do-kyun, coaches of the Korean vertical jumping team in athletics, believe that only by building a 'body' and continuing 'technical training' can they surpass their personal best record of 2m 36 and even hope for a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

Woo Sang-hyuk plans to compete for the rankings at the Seiko Golden Grand Prix and challenge for his second consecutive victory, and from June onwards, he plans to take on the '2m 37 challenge' in earnest.

Coach Do-gyun Kim explained, “If we just regain our sense of the game, we will achieve a higher record,” and added, “Our plan and hope is to challenge 2m37 in June and July and peak at the Paris Olympics.”

Sanghyuk Woo will continue his practical testing by participating in the 2024 Taiwan Open tournament held in Taipei, Taiwan on June 1.
