Ryu Yoon-ji (also Ryu Yun-ji, Korean: 류 윤지; born December 22, 1985) is a South Korean former swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] She won two bronze medals, as a member of the South Korean swimming team, in freestyle and medley relays, at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, and at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar.[2][3]
Ryu qualified for two swimming events at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by breaking a South Korean record and clearing a FINA A-cut of 55.46 (100 m freestyle) from the Dong-A Swimming Tournament in Seoul.[4] On the first day of the Games, Ryu teamed up with Sun So-Eun, Shim Min-Ji, and Kim Hyun-Joo in the women's 4×100 m freestyle relay. Swimming the second leg, Ryu recorded a fastest split time of 55.24 seconds, and the South Korean team went on to finish the first heat in fifth place, for a total time of 3:44.84.[5]
In the women's 100 m freestyle, Ryu missed out the semifinals by a hundredth of a second (0.01) in 55.02, but offered a second chance, after Germany's Franziska van Almsick scratched the event to focus on German relay duty in the 800 m freestyle relay.[6] Ryu failed to qualify for the final, as she finished her semifinal run with a second slowest time of 55.85 seconds.[7] In her final event, 50 m freestyle, Ryu raced to fifth place in heat seven by 0.06 of a second behind Venezuela's Arlene Semeco in 26.26. Unlike her previous individual event, Ryu failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed twenty-sixth out of 75 swimmers in the preliminary heats. She also tied her position with Puerto Rico's Vanessa García.[8]
