High jumper Woo Sang-hyeok has cleared two-point-32 meters to stand atop the world rankings for the season in both indoor and outdoor competitions.
 
With this record, Woo won the men’s final at a track and field event in Naju, South Jeolla Province on Wednesday.
 
He is the only athlete in the world to clear two-point-32 meters in outdoor competitions this season.
 
In February, Woo cleared two-point-35 meters at the World Athletics Indoor Tour Silver meeting in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, to grab the top spot in indoor competitions. 

During Wednesday's event, the 26-year-old jumper failed all three attempts at clearing two-point-37 meters to top his own South Korean record . 
 
Having wrapped up his competitions in Korea, Woo will soon leave for Doha, Qatar, to participate in the Doha Diamond League, a track and field meeting scheduled to kick off on May 13.
