Following the women’s 3m diving, Korea also won a bronze medal in the mixed synchro 3m with Lee Jae-kyung, and six people in the individual event secured qualification to the Paris Olympics.
Kim Su-ji (25, Ulsan Metropolitan City Hall) presented two valuable World Aquatics Championship bronze medals on Lunar New Year’s Day.
Kim Soo-ji’s parents came to her stadium and watched their daughter receive her two bronze medals.

Suji Kim reached the podium twice at the Hamad Aquatic Center in Doha, Qatar on the 10th Korean time.
Although the game took place over two days, the 9th and 10th in local time, they performed two great performances on Lunar New Year’s Day on the 10th in Korean time.
Kim Su-ji delivered good news on the morning of the Lunar New Year holiday by taking third place in the women’s 3m springboard diving final on the morning of the 10th with a total of 311.25 points from the first to fifth periods.
On the afternoon of the 10th, she and Lee Jae-kyung (24, Incheon Metropolitan City Office) participated in the mixed synchro 3m springboard final and took third place with a total of 285.03 points from the first to fifth periods.
It was a day that will remain in the history of not only Korean diving but also Korean swimming.
Kim Su-ji, who became the first Korean diving world championship medalist in Gwangju in 2019, also won the second and third medals in Korean diving history.
As the only Korean female athlete to win a World Aquatics Championships medalist, she also earned the title of first Korean diver and female swimmer to win more than two medals (a total of three).
She also stood shoulder to shoulder with Korean swimming legend Park Tae-hwan.
Tae-Hwan Park, who was a competitive athlete, ranked first in the 400m freestyle and third in the 200m at the 2007 Melbourne Games, and won the gold medal in the 400m freestyle in Shanghai in 2011.
Kim Su-ji, along with Park Tae-hwan, became the ‘Korean World Aquatics Championships medalist with the most medals.’
There are only two Korean swimmers, Tae-hwan Park and Su-ji Kim, who have won more than two medals in a ‘single competition’.
Suji Kim is a Korean diving signboard who has set several first records.
Su-ji Kim, who was the youngest member of the Korean team as a 14-year-old middle school student at the 2012 London Olympics, finished last in her first Olympics out of 26 competitors in the women’s 10m platform preliminaries.
Although she started off as ‘last in the Olympics’, Su-Ji Kim gave her Korean diver her first World Championships medal by winning her women’s 1m springboard bronze medal in Gwangju in 2019.
In Tokyo 2021, she achieved a milestone in the 3m springboard, becoming the first Korean female diver to reach the Olympic semifinals.
In Doha, she placed third in the 3m springboard, an Olympic event, and also won her first medal in a synchronized event.
Her two bronze medals from this competition were a reward for training through pain despite being diagnosed with torn cartilage in her left knee last December.
Kim Su-ji and Lee Jae-kyung, who grew up together in Ulsan and are close friends, also enjoyed the honor of becoming the first Korean male diver to reach the podium at the World Championships, even though it was a mixed synchro event.
Lee Jae-kyung is a ‘big-time plastic surgery player’.
Lee Jae-kyung, who participated in the Asian Games for the first time in Hangzhou last year, won two silver medals (men’s synchronized 3m springboard and men’s synchronized 10m platform) and one bronze medal (men’s 3m springboard), along with Woo Ha-ram (25, Korea Sports Promotion Foundation).
He emerged as a leader in men’s diving.
At that time, Lee Jae-kyung earned the title of ‘the first Korean athlete to win a medal in the men’s 3m springboard individual event at the Asian Games 37 years after Lee Seon-ki at the 1986 Seoul Games.’
Jaekyung Lee is a ‘diving couple’.
His wife, Yuna Kang, is also a former diver.
Lee Jae-kyung, who said “I am happy to give my wife a Chuseok gift” after winning his medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games, also won a medal for his wife at the World Championships held on Lunar New Year.
Jaekyung Lee qualified for the Paris Olympics in the men’s 3m springboard, fulfilling his dream of competing in his first Olympics.
This is the first time in the history of the World Aquatics Championships that Korean diving has won more than two medals.
Even the players who did not reach the podium ended the Doha World Championships on a good note by securing the right to participate in individual Olympic events.
Women’s 3m springboard Kim Su-ji, men’s 3m springboard Lee Jae-kyung and Woo Ha-ram, men’s 10m platform Shin Jeong-hwi (22, Korea Sports Promotion Foundation), and women’s 10m platform Kim Na-hyeon (20, Gangwon Provincial Office) earned the right to participate in the individual event at the Paris Olympics through this competition. 메이저사이트
A total of six people have confirmed their participation in the Paris Olympics, including Kim Young-taek (22, Jeju Provincial Office), who won a ticket to Paris in the men’s 10m platform at last year’s Fukuoka Games.
At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, five athletes (Woo Ha-ram, Kim Young-nam, Kim Young-taek, Kim Su-ji, and Kwon Ha-rim) competed in five events, including synchro events.
At this year’s Paris Olympics, six athletes will compete in four sports.
The Korea Swimming Federation said, “The Paris Games will be the first time that six Korean athletes will participate in the diving event at the Olympics.”
The level of Korean diving has been raised to a higher level with ‘signposts’ Kim Su-ji and Woo Ha-ram showing an upward curve, Lee Jae-kyung reaching his prime, and ‘new stars’ Kim Young-taek, Shin Jeong-hwi, and Kim Na-hyun demonstrating their talents on the international stage.
