He downed the Asian record set at the 2017 World Championships by <strong>Sun Yang<\/strong> at 1:44.39 in Budapest.<\/p>\n<p>Hwang\u2019s swim came at the Sajik Indoor Swimming Pool at Busan Sports Complex. He lowered his national record from 1:44.40, which he\u2019d set at the Asian Games in 2023. He won the <a href=\"https:\/\/meet.sports.or.kr\/national\/schedule\/scheduleDate.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Sports Festival title<\/a> in the event for the fourth straight year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is one of the happiest moments of my life,&#8221; Hwang said in a press conference, <a href=\"https:\/\/m-en.yna.co.kr\/view\/AEN20251020011651320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as reported by the Yonhap News Agency<\/a>. &#8220;Throughout my swimming career, I have tried to pierce the 1:44 threshold in the 200m freestyle.

Hwang, 22, won the world championship in the 200 free in 2024. He was the silver medalist at the 2022 World Championships and won bronze in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He finished ninth <a

owns the short-course men\u2019s 200 free Asian record, set at the World Short-Course Championships in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Sun, the twice-suspended Chinese Olympic gold medalist, maintains just two
