| Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
South Korea (officially the Republic of Korea) competed at the2012 Summer Olympics in London, from July 27 to August 12, 2012. This was the nation's sixteenth appearance at the Olympics, having missed the1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of its support for theUnited States boycott. TheKorean Olympic Committee sent the nation's smallest delegation to the Games since1992. A total of 248 athletes, 135 men and 113 women, competed in 22 sports.
South Korea left London with a total of 30 medals (13 gold, 9 silver, and 8 bronze), finishing fifth in the medal standings and tying its record for the most gold medals won at an Olympics with the total it set atBeijing.[1] Six of these medals were awarded to the team in fencing, five in shooting, four in archery, and three in judo. South Korean athletes dominated in archery, where they won gold medals in all but one sporting events and broke two world records. Despite the absence of baseball and softball at the Olympics, South Korea's proved successful in team sports at London, as the men's football team won the bronze medal following a match against neighbouring Japan. For the first time in its history, South Korea won Olympic medals in team fencing.
Among the nation's medalists were pistol shooterJin Jong-oh, and taekwondo jinHwang Kyung-seon, who both successfully defended their Olympic titles from Beijing. Three South Korean athletes won Olympic gold medals for the first time in history: gymnastYang Hak-seon in the men's vault exercises, archerOh Jin-hyek in the men's individual event, and sabre fencerKim Ji-yeon in the women's individual event.Park Tae-hwan, who won two silver medals in London, emerged as the most successful South Korean swimmer in history, with a total of four Olympic medals.

TheKorean Olympic Committee (KOC) selected a team of 245 athletes, 133 men and 112 women, to compete in 24 sports; it was the nation's smallest team sent to the Olympics since 1992. South Korea athletes did not qualify inbasketball,canoeing,equestrian, andtennis.[2] There was only a single competitor in rhythmic gymnastics, and in triathlon.
The South Korean team featured nine defending champions from Beijing, including freestyle swimmerPark Tae-hwan, the men's archery team (led byIm Dong-hyun), pistol shooterJin Jong-oh, weightliftersJang Mi-ran andSa Jae-hyouk, and taekwondo jinsHwang Kyung-seon andCha Dong-min. Among these champions, Jin Jong-oh only managed to defend his Olympic title for the second consecutive time. Handball playerYoon Kyung-shin, who competed at his fifth Olympics since 1992 (except the1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where his team did not qualify), was the oldest athlete of the team, at age 39, and later became South Korea's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.[2] Platform diverKim Su-ji, on the other hand, was the youngest of the team, at age 14.
Other notable South Korean athletes featured judoka and top medal contendersWang Ki-chun andKim Jae-bum, foil fencer and Olympic silver medalistNam Hyun-hee, and butterfly swimmer and Youth Olympic gold medalistChang Gyu-cheol.

BronzePark Jong-Woo was not present at the medal ceremony after the gold medal match between Mexico and Brazil and did not receive the bronze medal with the rest of his team due to his political position on theLiancourt Rocks, which are disputed both by South Korea and Japan by having a claim on the islands, after FIFA was notified about Park holding a sign of South Korea having claim on Dokdo, the Korean name for the islets.[16] On 11 February 2013, Park attended an International Olympic Committee disciplinary hearing at Lausanne, Switzerland. After the Disciplinary Commission reviewed Park's action at the Olympics, the IOC decided to award the player the bronze medal he had been barred from collecting for several months.
