[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Sangju City, Gyeongbuk announced on the 8th that Kim Hangyeom, a student of Gyeongbuk Technical High School, won first place in the boys' high school Greco-Roman category (-97kg) at the 45th Yang Jeongmo Olympic Conquest Memorial KBS National Wrestling Championship.

The tournament, held from the 19th to the 25th of last month in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon Province, was conducted without spectators due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

As various competitions were canceled, this was the first national tournament held this year, and according to Sangju City, it was filled with the interest and passion of athletes because it influences middle and high school students' advancement and university athletes' entry into corporate teams.

Kim Hangyeom, the eldest son of Kim Youngsoo, president of the Sangju City Wrestling Association, began to stand out after switching from Taekwondo to wrestling during middle school and enrolling at Gyeongbuk Technical High School. He won a bronze medal at the 99th National Sports Festival and then took first place at the 13th National Wrestling Comprehensive Championship in 2019.

Kim Hangyeom expressed his aspirations, saying, "Despite difficult circumstances, I did not neglect training and worked hard," adding, "I will faithfully devote myself to both academics and sports after entering university and gradually approach my goal of becoming a teacher."
