Joe Kyong-fan (also Jo Gyeong-Hwan, Korean: 조경환; born May 11, 1982) is a South Korean former swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events. [1] Joe competed in a breaststroke double at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He achieved FINA B-standards of 1:05.00 (100 m breaststroke) and 2:20.20 (200 m breaststroke) from the Dong-A Swimming Tournament in Ulsan. [2] [3] In the 100 m breaststroke, held on the first day of the Games, Joe challenged seven other swimmers in heat four, including two-time Olympians Valērijs Kalmikovs of Latvia and Arsenio López of Puerto Rico. He earned a fifth spot and forty-fifth overall by almost seven-tenths of a second (0.70) behind joint winners Kalmikovs and Lopez in 1:04.71, worthy enough for a personal best.
