At the National Sports Festival, gold medals were awarded in the snatch, clean and jerk, and total, and Park Hye-jung won gold medals in not only the total, but also the clean and jerk.
Additionally, a silver medal was added in the snatch event.
In the men’s 67kg class, Hangzhou Asian Games bronze medalist Lee Sang-yeon (Suwon City Hall) set a new Korean record by lifting 183kg in the clean and jerk.

In track and field, a Korean record was set for the first time in this competition.
Jo Ha-rim (Jinju City Hall) won the women’s 3,000m hurdles, setting a new Korean record of 10 minutes 06.42 seconds.
Jo Ha-rim shortened the previous Korean record (10 minutes 09.87 seconds) set in October 2019 by more than 3 seconds.

Korean swimming stars Hwang Seon-woo and Kim Woo-min (Gangwon Provincial Office) competed with Yang Jae-hoon and Kim Min-jun (Gangwon Provincial Office) as representatives of Gangwon in the men’s general swimming relay 400m final, winning with a record of 3 minutes 15.94 seconds.

They were expected to compete fiercely for the Most Valuable Player Award (MVP), but after the day’s schedule was concluded, Kim Woo-min announced that he would not participate in the last remaining 400m medley relay, which completely disappointed the team.
Sunwoo Hwang has two events left: the 100m freestyle on the 18th and the 400m medley relay on the 19th.
It appears that Hwang Sun-woo’s first-ever National Sports Festival MVP title three times in a row is within sight.
Kim Kook-young, a veteran sprinter representing Korea, won the men’s 400m relay in the men’s general division with Kim Tae-hyo, Kang Kang-bin, and Ko Seung-hwan (Gwangju City Hall).
Kim Kook-young, who previously won the men’s 100m event, achieved his second gold medal.
