Kim Kyong-jin
Kim Kyong-jin is a North Korean judoka, who played for the extra-lightweight category. He won two medals, silver and bronze, for the 60 kg division at the Asian Judo Championships.
Kim represented North Korea at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's extra-lightweight class. He defeated Madagascar's Elie Norbert and Armenia's Hovhannes Davtyan in the preliminary rounds, before losing out the quarterfinal match, by two yuko and a kata gatame, to Austria's Ludwig Paischer. Because his opponent advanced further into the final match, Kim offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage rounds. Unfortunately, he finished only in ninth place, after losing out the second repechage bout to Great Britain's Craig Fallon, who successfully scored a waza-ari and a kuchiki taoshi, at the end of the five-minute period.
It is believed that Kim is an illegitimate son of North Korea's founder, Kim Il Sung, and his then-mistress Kim Ok, who was a musician at the time of his birth. Kim Ok would later serve as secretary and mistress to Kim Il Sung's son, Kim Jong Il.
