Woo Haram (23) has rewritten the history of Korean diving. He achieved the highest ever 4th place in the men's 3m springboard event.
On the afternoon of the 3rd, Woo Haram scored a total of 481.85 points over six dives in the men's 3m springboard final at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre in Japan. He placed 4th among twelve competitors. This surpassed his own 11th place finish in the men's 10m platform at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, marking the best Olympic result ever for Korean diving. Korean diving has participated in the Olympics since the 1960 Rome Games but has yet to win a medal.
