Abstract
Citizens of a country swell with pride whenever they talk about their homeland’s sport legends. Such legends are recognized for not only their athletic achievements but also the contributions they have made to the whole society. Lee-Kyung Chun is considered such a legend for having elevated Korea to a global powerhouse status in winter sport. A four-time short-track gold medalist in the 1994 Lillehammer and 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic Games, Chun reigned the ice track in the 1990s. With Jong-Oh Jin (shooting) and Soonyung Kim (archery), Chun holds the most gold medals in the history of Korean Olympic sport.
