Chae Hong-nak (Korean: 채홍낙, born 29 May 1961) is a South Korean long-distance runner. He competed in the marathon at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[1]
Career
In 1982, Chae – along with fellow Konkuk University alumni Jeong Man-hwa, finished a marathon in joint-first place – in a time of 2 hours, 21 minutes and 8 seconds.[2]
On 18 March 1983, Chae was described as the "national representative" and was announced as holding the record of 2 hours, 21 minutes and 8 seconds.[3]
In March 1983, in the 54th Dong-A Marathon, Chae, on a 195km full course, set a time of 2 hours, 16 minutes and 33 seconds - falling just 18 seconds short of the record set by Moon Heung-ju in 1974.[4] He was described as "dreaming" of a "new record by 5 seconds" and overpaced the remaining 2,195 km.[5] He set a goal of 16 minutes for every 5km, but was described as "making the mistake" of "sprinting too early at the 33km mark".[6]
During the 1984 Olympics, Chae competed in the marathon, finishing 48th with a time of 2:23:33. That same year in November, he set a Korean record of 2 hours, 15 minutes and 16 seconds.[7]
Chae was described as having "overflowing fighting spirit and strength" as his strengths, but was also described as having "a lack of speed".[8]
