Chosunhyeong and Kang Hanna, who joined the BPA rowing team this year, attracted attention from the start due to their numerous awards in past national competitions.

Although they showed some sluggishness early in the season, from the Jangbogogi competition in June through this National Sports Festival, they demonstrated their strength by winning medals in five consecutive competitions in the mixed double sculls event.

Coach Lee Hyunggi of the rowing team said, “This year, all players, including newly recruited athletes, prepared well and were able to complete the season without injuries. Moreover, we achieved the best results in the past four years since COVID-19.” He added, “During the upcoming off-season, we will focus on reorganizing and training the team so that the BPA rowing team can soar even higher in 2024.”
