i checked out his cyworld...~~
there are already 800,000 hits today!!!
congratulations Tae Huan..!
축하해요..!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
he's pretty cool :)
right before this event, snsd's girls' generation started playing in the background at the olympic stadium. i thought that was pretty cool.
go park tae hwan! `;D
Yey to him :)
They mentioned that when he was 14 he was DQ for jumping into the water too early, now he doesn't have to be embarrassed :)
now the question is: "will he marry yoobin?" as he said before the olympics? i certainly doubt about it...
congrats to him! i watched this last night. they were talking about how at the last olympics he dived in too early and got disqualified. he definitely deserved it.
This is especially cute because the US says its a Cinderella story - a DQ (apparently he false started so he didn't even get to swim a stroke and cried for 2 hours in the bathroom) to an Olympic gold at 18 years old (US years). Also, he had a rough time of it b/c his mom got cancer and his dad lost his business when he was 9-ish.... definitely a Cinderella story ^_^
Also, Ian Thorpe (Australian LEGEND!!) was watching the event and said he knew Park would win b/c of the way he swam. Such an awesome compliment from a world-record holder :) I feel kinda bad for Hackett though -_- I can't believe he underperformed so much.
why am i feeling proud?
LOL
he's not even a malaysian.
hehehhhehe..
dae han min guk!!

This is not only a gold for Korea but the first medal of any color ever won by Korea in the pool!

Have you seen Choi Minho the Korean Judo Gold Olympian? He is sooo cute tooo!!! I was watching an interview of him (post competition) he was sooo innocent and sweet!!!

Well done and a big pat on the back to Park. It's a shame he still cannot beat that torpedo of a swim monster Phelps but here's to putting S Korea on the world map for swimming !
I'm looking forward to his pet event, 1500M. Go get 'em!
And why Yoobin? I thought he was linked to Sun Ye? The WG share boyfriends? LOL.
Does he train in Korea, in the States or elswhere?
U should hv Datok Lee Chong Wei tribute also.
