Kim Tae-Hui

Kim Tae-Hui was a South Korean track and field athlete who competed in the high jump for more than a decade. In 1992 Kim competed at his home edition of the World Junior Championships in Seoul, where he placed 16th overall. Four years later he represented South Korea at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, but finished down in 32nd place after only clearing 2.15 metres in qualifying, well short of the 2.28 metres needed to progress to the final. One year later he redeemed himself by clearing 2.24 metres at the East Asian Games in Busan to win silver. Kim won another silver at a major competition when he finished in a three-way tie with 2.19 metres at the 2002 Asian Games, also in Busan.
