Sohn Kee-chung coming in 1st
at the Berlin Olympics in 1936.

From Wikipedia:
Sohn Kee-Chung (August 29, 1914 – November 15, 2002) became the first medal-winning Korean Olympian, when he won the gold medal in the marathon at the 1936 Berlin Olympics as a member of the Japanese delegation.

He competed under the Japanese name Son Kitei, because Korea was part of the Japanese Empire. The name is based on the Japanese Kanji pronunciation of his Korean name.

Sohn was born in Sinŭiju, North P'yŏngan Province, Korea, Sohn Kee-Chung was educated at Yangjeong High School in Seoul, Korea and Meiji University in Japan, from which he graduated in 1940.
