Park Tae-Hwan won the 400 freestyle swimming


Another interesting match inswimming, mainly due to this Korean swimmer. He joined his first Olympics in Athens when he was just 15 years old.

But the poor guy, probably due to inexperience or nervousness, he was disqualified for a false start. He jumped in the water before the start of the match. So that was his Olympcis in 2004, he did not even get to compete.

So, it was really interesting to see him swim at the 400 meters freestyles and even more interesting when he won! Wow! Congratulations to him and Korea!

See this link for his bio!
