Shin Su-Jong (also Sin Su-Jong, Korean: 신 수종; born February 15, 1988) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] He won a silver medal, as a member of the South Korean swimming team, in the men's 4×100 m medley relay at the 2006 Asian Championships in Singapore.
Shin qualified for the men's 200 m breaststroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:15.88 from the FINA World Championships in Melbourne, Australia.[2][3] He challenged six other swimmers on the second heat, including Portugal's Carlos Almeida and three-time Olympian Jakob Johann Sveinsson of Iceland. He raced to fourth place by 0.31 of a second ahead of Estonia's Martti Aljand, with a time of 2:16.21. Shin failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-third out of 53 swimmers in the preliminary heats.[4]
