Korean swimmer Kim Woo-min said Thursday he will chase his second straight MVP honor for the national delegation at this month's Asian Games in Japan. Kim was voted the top athlete for Korea at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, where he snapped up three gold medals. "I would love to win my second straight MVP award," Kim told reporters before the national delegation launch ceremony at the Jincheon National Training Center in Jincheon, 85 kilometers south of Seoul, on Thursday. "It will not be easy but I will give it my best shot." Kim is the defending champion in the men's 400-meter and 800-meter freestyle events, and also in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay. "I want to win as many medals as possible," Kim added. "I think the 400m freestyle will be the most importance race." Kim revealed he is dealing with a minor shoulder injury but added, "It is not bad enough that it will affect my training." Other athletes representing Korea at the Sept. 19-Oct. 4 competition spoke of trying to enjoy the experience and bring home the best possible outcomes. "We will try to reach the podium," said
