About Jung Seul-Ki
Born 1988. Jung Seul-Ki is a South Korean swimmer.
Jung Seul-ki (; born July 13, 1988) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events. She finished eleventh in the women's 200 m breaststroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has won a career total of four medals (one gold and three bronze) in a major international competition, spanning the 2006 Pan Pacific Championships, the 2006 Asian Games, and the 2007 Summer Universiade. Jung also served as a varsity member of the swimming team at Yonsei University. Jung followed up her performance in the following year by winning the women's 200 m breaststroke crown at the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok, Thailand. Jung's new meet record of 2:24.67 also dipped beneath the FINA A-cut (2:28.20) by more than four seconds, which assured her a spot on the South Korean team for Beijing 2008.
After excelling internationally in the 2006 and 2007 season, Jung competed for the South Korean swimming team in a breaststroke double at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. On the first half of a double, the 100 m breaststroke, Jung charged her way to the runner-up spot behind Italy's Roberta Panara in heat four with a steady 1:09.26, but missed the semifinals by almost a full second with a twenty-third overall placement. In her signature event, the 200 m breaststroke, Jung bounced back from the initial half of her specialty double to successfully grab the eleventh seed for the semifinals (2:25.95), but fell short on a berth for the top eight final by the following morning with a disappointing 2:26.83, matching her prelims position in the process.
