Yoo Jung-Nam (also Yu Jeong-Nam, Korean: 유 정남; born 12 September 1983) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.[1] He won a bronze medal in the 200 m butterfly at the 2005 East Asian Games in Macau, China, in an outstanding time of 1:59.13.[2]
Yoo qualified for the men's 200 m butterfly at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:00.77 from the Dong-A Swimming Championships in Ulsan.[3] Yoo challenged seven other swimmers on the second heat, including Olympic veterans Vladan Marković of Serbia, James Walsh of the Philippines, and Donny Utomo of Indonesia. He finished ahead of Venezuela's Alexis Márquez in fourth place by a quarter of a second (0.25), with a time of 2:01.00. Yoo failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed thirty-fourth out of 44 swimmers in the evening preliminaries.[4]
