Exclusive interview with Olympic gold medallist Park Si-hun
- 4 years ago
SNTV spoke exclusively to 1988 Olympic gold medallist, Park Si-hun, who has spent the last 32 years wishing he was awarded the silver instead, after his 3-2 win remains one of the most controversial moments in boxing history.
After his win, Park said he couldn't wait to get off the podium, where he smiled weakly and slowly waved a bouquet of flowers toward the stands as fans let out hesitant cheers and scattered boos.
An even more humiliating moment came when a South Korean national broadcaster invited all of the country's 12 gold medalists to a live TV celebration shortly after the Games. The host treated Park like he wasn't there while interviewing each of the other winners.
