Yang Jae-hoon narrowly avoided food poisoning at the 104th Jeonnam National Sports Festival, then overturned the disqualification decision and set a new Korean record.

Yang Jae-hoon had a meal with his team's players in downtown Mokpo, Jeollanam-do on the 12th, a day before the opening ceremony of the National Sports Festival.

Yang Jae-hoon, who arrived at the restaurant early at the time, finished his meal early to manage his condition and returned to his lodgings, while his five fellow players, including Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min, started eating dozens of minutes later.

That night, the Gangwon Provincial Government Swimming Team dormitory was in chaos.

Five people, including Hwang Sun-woo and Kim Woo-min, who ate late suffered from stomach upset and high fever.

It was a symptom of food poisoning.

It was difficult for the players involved in their daily lives, let alone training, until the first match of the competition took place.

Yang Jae-hoon said, "I finished my meal quickly so I wasn't there.

If I had eaten even a little later, I would have gotten food poisoning too."

Yang Jae-hoon, who avoided food poisoning, achieved great results by winning a bronze medal in the 50m freestyle men's general division, a gold medal in the 800m relay on the 15th, and a gold medal in the 400m relay on the 17th.

Good luck followed in the 100m butterfly preliminaries held at Mokpo Indoor Swimming Pool on the 18th.

Yang Jae-hoon, who competed in group 3 of the preliminary round, took second place in the group with a score of 53.91 seconds and seemed to be advancing to the finals without difficulty.

However, the referee disqualified Yang Jae-hoon.

Yang Jae-hoon said, “They said that if all parts of the body, including the hands, are submerged in the water during the turn, it is disqualification,” and “I immediately filed an objection.”

As a result of the video review, Yang Jae-hoon's appeal was accepted.

Dramatically, part of the finger was captured above the water.

Yang Jae-hoon, who advanced to the finals after many twists and turns, won the gold medal by setting a Korean record of 51.85 seconds.

It was a dramatic new Korean record, achieved by avoiding food poisoning and disqualification.

Yang Jae-hoon smiled brightly, saying, “It seems like we are having a lot of luck this year.”

He added, “I hope the heavenly energy continues until next year’s Paris Olympics.”

Jaehoon Yang is also a professional relay runner for the Korean swimming team.

At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, he teamed up with Hwang Sun-woo, Kim Woo-min, and Lee Ho-jun (Daegu Metropolitan City Hall) to win the gold medal in the 800m relay, setting a new Asian record of 7 minutes 01.73 seconds.
