Swimming sensation Park Tae-hwan has set the domestic record in the men's 100-meter freestyle at the 88th National Sports Competition.

In the high school men's 100-meter freestyle final in Gwangju Saturday, Park won with a time of 49.32 seconds, bettering the mark of 50.02 seconds he set at the Asian Games in Qatar last year. He is also the first Korean swimmer to post a time of under 50 seconds.

Park said he will try his best to win medals in the 400-meter and 1,500-meter freestyle in the Beijing Olympic Games next year.
