Park Hyung-jun (also Park Hyeong-jin, Korean: 박 형진; born April 29, 1983, in Gyeongsangbuk-do) is a South Korean triple jumper.[1] He represented South Korea at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also spanned his best jump of 16.66 metres from the men's college national championships at Chungbuk Science High School in Jecheon.[2]
Park qualified for the South Korean squad in the men's triple jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Four months before the Games, he set a career personal best and an Olympic B-standard jump of 16.66 metres at the college national championships in Jecheon to secure a berth on the South Korean athletics team.[2] [3] Park got off to a rugged start with a foul until he spanned a top qualifying jump of 15.84 on his second attempt, falling short of a personal best by 82 centimetres. Since his third jump spurred another foul, Park ended up in thirty-ninth against an immense roster of forty-eight athletes, and did not advance past the qualifying round.[4] [5]
