Nam Yoo-sun (also Nam Yu-seon, Korean: 남 유선; born July 23, 1985) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events.[1][2] She is a three-time Olympian (2000, 2004, and 2008), a fourth-place finalist at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, and a two-time medalist in the individual medley (both 200 and 400 m) at the 2005 East Asian Games in Macau, China.[3] Nam became the first South Korean swimmer in history to reach an Olympic final, until Park Tae-Hwan won the nation's first ever swimming medal at the succeeding Olympics in 2008.

Nam made her first South Korean team, as a 15-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she competed in the women's 200 m individual medley. Swimming in heat two, she raced to fourth place and twenty-seventh overall by nearly five seconds behind winner Hana Černá of the Czech Republic in 2:22.53.[4]

At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Nam placed seventh in the 400 m individual medley with a time of 4:50.35, edging out Greece's Vasiliki Angelopoulou by exactly half a second (0.50).[5][6]

Eight years after her Olympic debut, Nam qualified for her third South Korean team, as a 23-year-old, at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She eclipsed a FINA B-standard entry time of 4:52.38 from the Dong-A Swimming Championships in Ulsan.[7] In the 400 m individual medley, she topped the first heat by five seconds ahead of Singapore's Quah Ting Wen with a time of 4:46.74. Nam failed to reach the top 8 final, as she placed twenty-eighth overall in the prelims.[8]
