Park Beom-Ho (also Pak Beom-Ho, Korean: 박 범호; born May 23, 1988) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in freestyle and individual medley events.[1] He won a bronze medal, as a member of the South Korean swimming team, in the men's 4×200 m freestyle relay at the 2006 Asian Championships in Singapore.
Park qualified for the men's 200 m individual medley at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:04.81 from the Good Luck Beijing China Open.[2][3] He challenged six other swimmers on the first heat, including two-time Olympians Omar Pinzón of Colombia, and Andrejs Dūda of Latvia. He touched out Kyrgyzstan's Iurii Zakharov to take a fifth spot by less than 0.16 of a second in 2:06.17. Park failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-fourth overall in the preliminary heats.[4]
