우상혁.사진=연합뉴스[이데일리스타in허윤수기자]‘스마일점퍼’우상혁(용인시청)이2024파리올림픽을향해한걸음씩내딛고있다.우상혁은19일일본도쿄국립경기장에서열린2024세이코골든그랑프리남자높이뛰기결승에서2m27의기록으로2위를기록했다.1위는2m30을넘은리스유알(호주)이차지했다.지난대회우승자인우상혁은당시보다2cm낮은기록으로은메달을목에걸었다.이날우상혁은2m15를건너뛴뒤2m20,2m24를차례로뛰어넘었다.모두1차시간에바를넘으며가벼운몸놀림을보였다.우상혁은2m27을3차시기에넘어유알에이어2위를기록했다.이후출전선수10명중8명이탈락하며유알과금메달을두고경쟁했다.우상혁이2m30에세번모두실패했으나유알은두번째시기에바를넘으며개인최고기록과동률을이뤘다.우상혁은2m33으로바를높여세차례도전했으나모두넘지못했고금메달은유알에게돌아갔다.우상혁은지난2월부터꾸준히국외대회를통해기량을끌어올리고있다.4차례실내대회를치른뒤5월부터는실외대회에나서고있다.우상혁은오는6월1일대만타이베이에서열리는2024대만오픈에출전할예정이다.

종합격투기(MMA)꿈의무대인 UFC를향한4명의코리안 파이터의도전이아쉽게불발됐다.UFC입성을위한오디션이벤트‘로드투UFC’(RTU)첫날대회에나선 한국인선수네명이모두고개를떨구면서다.이제기원빈과유수영,최동훈,김규성이남아UFC를향한도전에나선다.  코리안좀비정찬성과전기매미김동현제자인김한슬과홍준영,송영재,서예담은18일중국상하이UFC퍼포먼스인스티튜트(PI)상하이에서열린RTU에서모두승리소식을전하지못했다.  시즌1에이어두번째도전장을내민 홍준영은지난시즌라이트급토너먼트준우승자인하라구치신에게3-0만장일치판정패를당했다.하라구치는홍준영을상대로준비한모든걸보여줬다.테이크다운만12차례성공했고12분동안유리한포지션에서홍준영을눌러놨다.홍준영은레슬러에게맞는전략을준비했지만테이크다운타이밍에맞춘니킥을하라구치가맷집으로버텨냈다.  김한슬은바하터보러바터보라티에게역전판정패했다.웰터급 논토너먼트경기에출전한장신의김한슬은1라운드신체적인우위를앞세워경기를유리하게이끌었다.하지만후반부바터보라티에게흐름을내주며만장일치판정패했다.두선수정찬성과함께훈련했다.  김동현제자인송영재는 일본레슬러카와나마스토에게무너졌다.카와나는그레코로만레슬링일본전국체전과23세이하세계선수권을제패한정상급레슬러다. 송영재는경기시작부터카와나의레슬링공세에고전했다.2라운드에는카와나의체력이떨어진틈을타강력한펀치를퍼부으며흐름을뒤집었다.하지만3라운드카와나의왼손훅에맞아재역전을허용했다. 여성스트로급(52.2kg)토너먼트에출전한서예담은불의의일격에맞아패배했다.태권도검은띠스밍(29·중국)이왼발스위칭헤드킥을시도하는과정에서니킥이서예담의턱에적중됐다.서예담은쓰러졌지만가까스로의식을잃지않고스밍의그라운드앤파운드와서브미션을방어했다. 2라운드에는테이크다운을성공시키고라운드내내상대를그라운드에서컨트롤했고,3라운드에서도팽팽한경기양상을보였지만판정단은만장일치로스밍의손을들어줬다.

[OSEN=강희수기자]한국남자골프계의맏형최경주(54,SK텔레콤)가인터뷰카메라앞에서울컥했다.최경주는제주도핀크스GC(파72/7,326야드)에서열리고있는SK텔레콤오픈(총상금13억원,우승상금2억6,000만원)에출전중이다.3라운드까지경기를본사람들은최경주의무난한우승을점쳤을게다.그러나스포츠에서‘수월한’상황은없다.생각지도못한흐름이도사리고있기때문이다.상승흐름도있고,하강흐름도있다.최경주에게1~3라운드는최고의상승흐름이었다.1라운드를공동2위(이븐파)로마친최경주는2라운드에서7언더파를쳤다.잘치는날충분히나올수있는스코어다.그러나다른선수들과비교하면방금한말에신중해야한다.최경주가2라운드중간합계7언더파단독선두로우뚝솟은날,2위권(이태훈,박상현,한승수)은겨우1언더파에턱걸이하고있었다.3라운드도마찬가지였다.최경주가1오버파(-6)를치는사이2위장동규가2타를줄였는데도,장동규의3라운드중간합계는1언더파였다.최경주혼자다른골프장에서경기하는모양새가사흘내내펼쳐졌다.그랬던최경주도19일의최종라운드에서는바뀐흐름에고전했다.추격자들이조금씩타수를줄이는사이최경주는무려3타를잃었다.‘무려’라는말은앞선3개라운드와비교해서하는말이다.최경주는최종라운드에서버디는2개,보기는5개를기록했다.최경주가고전하는사이후배중에선역시선배격인박상현이가장많은타수를줄였다.4타를줄여최종합계3언더파를만들어놓았다.최경주와동타다.연장이다.결과론이지만연장승부또한최경주를빛나게하기위한정교한장치였다.파418번홀에서펼쳐진연장1차전에서최경주의두번째샷이방향이이상했다.최경주는우승후인터뷰에서“17,18홀을도는데허리가안좋았다.통증이느껴지면서스윙이불편했다.세컨샷을올리는데,‘물에들어갔구나’생각했다.그런데갤러리들의반응이약간이상했다.속으로‘한번의기회가더있겠구나’생각했다”고말했다.정말기묘한상황이벌어졌다.18번그린옆을얕은해저드가흐르고있었는데,해저드중간에가로세로2미터쯤되는작은섬이있었다.최경주의공이그작은섬의잔디위에앉아있었다.손으로던져올려놓기도힘든그런자리였다.최경주는침착하게세번째샷을핀근처로올렸고,파세이브까지성공했다.투온에성공한박상현도파로막아승부를2차전으로끌고갔지만분위기는왠지손해를본듯했다.예상대로였다.두번째연장전에서박상현은두번째샷이그린바깥에떨어졌다.이번에는최경주가투온에성공했다.결국박상현은우승자를위해보기퍼트를먼저하고그린에서물러나야했다.고난끝에얻은우승은백전노장의감정을자극했다.우승인터뷰를위해카메라앞에선최경주는떨리는목소리를숨길수없었다.최경주는“기대하지않았던SK텔레콤오픈4승을했다.후배들과열심히잘싸웠다.감격스럽고기분좋다”고소감을말했다.최경주의말대로그는이대회에서만네번째우승을했다.1997년부터이대회에참가해이번이22번째출전인최경주는그동안3차례(2003년,2005년,2008)정상에섰다.이미대회최다우승기록보유자다.여기에1승을더보탰다.KPGA투어로는통산17번째우승이다.11년7개월만에통산승수하나를더늘렸다.또한KLPGA투어최고령우승기록도19년만에갱신했다.19일은최경주의54번째생일이다.종전기록은2005년매경오픈에서최상호(69)가세운50세4개월25일이었다.미국프로골프(PGA)투어에서통산8승을거둔최경주는2020년부터는만50세이상이참가하는PGA챔피언스투어에서활약하고있다./[email protected]
