Shin Su-jong (also Sin Su-jong, Korean: 신 수종; born February 15, 1988) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] He represented his nation South Korea at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and has won a silver medal, as a member of the men's 4 × 100 m medley relay team, at the 2006 Asian Championships in Singapore.[2][3]
Shin competed for the South Korean swimming team in the men's 200 m breaststroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[2] He finished outside the semifinal time in 2:15.88 to slide under the FINA B-cut (2:18.37) at the World Championships one year earlier in Melbourne, Australia.[4][5] Rallying from sixth at the 150-metre turn in heat two, Shin fought off a three-way sprint challenge from Miguel Molina of the Philippines and Martti Aljand of Estonia on the final lap to snatch the fourth spot in 2:16.21. Shin failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-third out of 53 swimmers in the prelims.[6]
