Park Joo-bong

He also won a gold and a silver medal at the Summer Olympics and 9 All England Open Badminton Championships titles.

Inspired by his idol Christian Hadinata, though Park was primarily a doubles player, the greatest one ever in the opinion of some, he was capable of world class level singles which he displayed in occasional tournaments and Thomas Cup appearances early in his career and currently holds the South Korean national record of 103 consecutive wins in men's singles from 1981 to 1984.

His playing strengths included remarkable reflexes, reach, quickness, agility, and power.

[citation needed] Park competed for Korea in badminton at the 1992 Summer Olympics in men's doubles with partner Kim Moon-Soo.

Park also competed for Korea in badminton at the 1996 Summer Olympics in mixed doubles with partner Ra Kyung-min.
