Kim Jong-su (Korean pronunciation:[kim.dzʌŋ.su] or[kim][tsʌŋ.su]; born January 1, 1977)[2] is aNorth Koreansport shooter.
He won the bronze medal in the50 metre pistol competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics held in Athens.
Kim competed in the10 metre air pistol event during the 2008 Olympics on August 9, where he came third in the qualification round, with 584 points, and again third in the final round, with 683.0 points, initially earning a bronze medal. Three days later, he then competed in the50 metre pistol event, where he scored 563 and 660.2 points for qualification and final rounds respectively, thus earning a silver medal.
On August 15, 2008, three days after Kim won his third Olympic medal, theInternational Olympic Committee announced that he had tested positive for the banned substancepropranolol during a doping test. Propranolol is abeta blocker that is mainly used to treathypertension, but also preventstrembling. Kim wasstripped of his two medals from the 2008 Summer Olympics, making Kim the second athlete, and first medal winning athlete, to test positive for a banned substance at the 2008 Olympic Games. In the 10 metre air pistol, the bronze medal went toJason Turner of theUnited States. In the 50 metre pistol, the silver medal went toTan Zongliang ofChina, and the bronze medal went toVladimir Isakov ofRussia.[3][4]
While media outside North Korea reported on Kim's disqualification, theKorean Central News Agency did not report on the incident.[5] On August 15, the day when Kim Jong-su officially had his medals revoked, the KCNA reported:
Kim Jong Su placed second in the men's 50 metre free pistol and third in the men's 10 meter air pistol.[5]
No news reports since August 15 have mention of Kim's disqualification.[citation needed]
