Kwon Young-woo is one of the most popular and richest Judoka who was born on May 4, 1983 in Seoul, South Korea.

Kwon emerged as a frontrunner and a medal contender at the 2001 Summer Universiade in Beijing, China, where he took home the gold in the 81-kg class against Azerbaijan’s Mehman Azizov. Two years later, Kwon defeated Spain’s Óscar Fernández for an unprecedented second straight gold in his respective division.

Kwon qualified for the South Korean squad in the men’s half-middleweight class (81 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and receiving a berth from the Asian Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan. He thwarted France’s Cédric Claverie and Cuba’s Gabriel Arteaga in the prelims by a waza- ari and a yuko score, before being sanctioned with a penalty and falling short to Greek judoka and eventual Olympic champion Ilias Iliadis in a sudden-death quarterfinal match. In the repechage round, Kwon ran off from his temporary falter with an effortless victory over Australia’s Morgan Endicott-Davies, but fell short in a tremendous ippon to Brazilian judoka Flávio Canto within twenty-seven seconds, ending him in the seventh spot.
