Jongun Rim is a South Korean short track speed skater. Watching the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang inspired him to take up short track. He came back from a broken shin and then a broken ankle in middle school. In 2025, in his final year of high school, he won the senior national trials ahead of Daeheon Hwang and earned the nickname "Ferrarim". In the 1000m final at Milano Cortina 2026 he was last of five with two laps left, then went round the outside on the final corner to take bronze, Korea's first short track medal of the Games.
Championship medals since the 2025–26 season
