Roh Joo-hee (also No Ju-hui, Korean: 노 주희; born March 18, 1983) is a South Korean former swimmer, who specialized in middle-distance freestyle and breaststroke events.[1] As a teenager, she represented South Korea in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2000), and also held numerous career bests and national records in both 200 and 400 m freestyle.

Roh made her Olympic debut, as South Korea's youngest ever swimmer in history (aged 13), at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.[2] She failed to reach the top 16 final in the 200 m breaststroke, finishing only in twenty-eighth place at 2:36.20.[3]

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Roh competed only in a middle-distance freestyle double. She achieved FINA B-standards of 2:03.40 (200 m freestyle) and 4:20.02 (400 m freestyle) from the Asian Championships in Busan.[4] [5] [6] On the second day of the Games, Roh placed thirty-seventh in the 400 m freestyle. Swimming in heat two, she faded down the stretch to pick up a seventh seed in 4:25.66, more than a dozen body length behind leader Laetitia Choux of France.[7] [8] The following day, in the 200 m freestyle, Roh posted a time of 2:07.21 to round out the field in heat three, but finished only in thirty-third place on the morning prelims.[9] [10]
