[Graphic News] Kim Yeon-koung most impressive Korean athlete at Tokyo Olympics: poll
By Nam Kyung-donPublished : Aug. 17, 2021 - 10:00
Forget medalists: South Korean volleyball icon Kim Yeon-koung was the most impressive athlete from the country at the recently-concluded Tokyo Olympics, a poll showed.
In a Gallup Korea survey conducted from Aug. 10-12, Kim, who fell short of a bronze medal in Japan, received 63 percent support from 1,002 respondents.
People were allowed to select up to two athletes.
An San, a triple gold medalist from archery, ranked second with 35 percent. Kim Je-deok, who won two gold medals in archery, was third with 13 percent support.
Two other non-medalists rounded out the top five: high jumper Woo Sang-hyeok and swimmer Hwang Sun-woo. (Yonhap)
