Lee-Kyung Chun - Post Olympic Achievements

Following her years in athletic competition, Chun has held positions in various sports organizations. She is a member of the Women and Sport Working Group and in 1999 joined the Korean National Olympic Committee Athletes' Commission. In 2002, she was one of two women athletes appointed by the International Olympic Committee president to join the elected members of the IOC Athletes Commission. Chun joined Egyptian swimmer Rania Amr Elwan as new members to, as the IOC noted, ensure the commission has a fair balance between continents and gender. In 2002, Chun was named to Bud Greenspan's list of 25 Greatest Winter Olympians.

With a Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in physical education, Chun holds a teaching certificate. She is a speed skating lecturer and golf teacher's assistant. Part of the Korean powerhouse that dominates women's short track speed skating, Lee-Kyung Chun is one of only seven women to earn four or more career gold medals in the Winter Olympics. She is a two-time Olympic champion, is ranked first in the world for both the 1,500m and 3,000m short track speed skating distances, and is the defending Olympic champion and the world record holder in the 1,000m.
