Fencing Oh Sang-wook, swimming Kim Woo-min ranked 1st in SBS viewership ratings, ‘Sweep’ opening ceremony also ranked 1st in SBS 2049 viewership ratings

The broadcast on this day highlighted the performances of swimming's caster Bae Seong-jae and commentator Park Tae-hwan, and fencing's caster Jung Woo-young and commentator Kim Ji-yeon, who worked together for the first time at the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games held last year.

This is the first Olympic record for a Korean male saber player.

Caster Jung Woo-young and commentator Kim Ji-yeon stuck out their tongues at Oh Sang-wook, who did not lose his composure from the preliminaries to the finals, calling him a “fencing monster.”

Commentator Park Tae-hwan praised Kim Woo-min for picking up the pace from the beginning, unlike in the preliminaries, saying, “You did a good job of taking advantage of Kim Woo-min’s strengths,” and “I’m proud of him.”

In online communities, positive reactions poured in, such as "He speaks fast, but his pronunciation is good, so he can be heard well," "Bae Seong-jae and Park Tae-hwan are a trustworthy combination," and "A commentator who is close to being eloquent."

Kim Jun-hyuk, who is currently the head coach of the shooting team at the Gyeongnam Sports Association for the Disabled, and Jo Gu-ham, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics men's judo -100kg silver medalist, are appearing as SBS commentators for the first time.

Like Park Tae-hwan and Kim Ji-yeon, who debuted as SBS commentators at the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games last year, he presented the story without any tension.
