I'll just list out some of the sports that Korea is oustanding good at:

- Judo (Song Dae Nam & Kim Jae Bum)

- Shooting

- Figure Skating (Kim Yuna)

- Archery (Im Dong Hyun - SET A WORLD RECORD)

- Taekwondo (obviously...)

- Short Track

- Speed Skating

- Gymnastics (Yang Hak Seon VAULT)

- Fencing

.... swimming (Park Tae Hwan SLIVER MEDAL MOST TIMES)

There all a lot of other sports that korea is good at, but these are the sports that korea tends to always earn a gold medal in.

Koreans are amazingly talented in sports and is able to rank in the "top 20" most of the time, eventhough the country is very small compared to the other countries competing with them.
