Jeong Da-rae (Korean: 정다래; born December 2, 1991) is a South Korean former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] [2] She is a gold medalist in the 200 m breaststroke at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.

Jeong made her official debut, as a 16-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she qualified for the women's 200 m breaststroke. She cleared a FINA B-cut of 2:27.78 from the Good Luck Beijing China Open.[3] [4] On the evening preliminaries, Jeong rounded out the semifinal field by taking the final spot in a lifetime best of 2:27.28, just half a second (0.50) faster than her entry time.[5] [6] The next morning's session, Jeong failed to qualify for the final, as she placed fourteenth overall in the semifinal run at 2:28.28.[7]

At the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome, Italy, Jeong matched her preliminary heat time of 2:25.00 in the semifinals, but finished only in twelfth place.[8] Six months later, she edged out her teammate Jung Seul-ki to take a silver medal by a two-tenth margin (0.20) in the same discipline at the East Asian Games in Hong Kong, China, breaking her personal best of 2:24.90.[9]

At the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, Jeong picked up the women's 200 m breaststroke title in 2:25.02, beating two Chinese swimmers for the silver and bronze medals.[10] [11] Jeong's best effort at the Asian Games moved her up to fifteenth in the world rankings.[12]

Four years after competing in her first Olympics, Jeong qualified for her second South Korean team, as a 20-year-old, at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. She attained a FINA A-standard entry time of 2:26.07 from the Dong-A Swimming Tournament in Ulsan.[13] Jeong shared a fourteenth-fastest qualifying time of 2:26.83 with Russia's Yuliya Efimova in the morning's preliminary heats to secure a spot for the semifinals.[14] [15] On the evening session, Jeong failed to qualify for the final, as she finished her semifinal run with a slowest time of 2:28.74.[16]

Personal life

On August 10, 2022, Jeong posted a wedding dress on Instagram that she will marry her non-celebrity boyfriend in September 2022.[17]
