Yun Cho-Rong (Korean: 윤초롱; born September 1, 1989, in Chuncheon, Gangwon) is a South Korean modern pentathlete.[1] She also won a gold medal for the women's individual event at the 2006 Asian Modern Pentathlon Championships in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Yun qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed as a lone female athlete in the women's modern pentathlon. During the competition, Yun struggled in the early segments, with poor scores in pistol shooting and a one-touch épée fencing, but managed to attain twenty-fourth-place finishes in freestyle swimming and show jumping. In the end, Yun finished the event with cross-country running in thirty-third place, for a total score of 4,872 points.[2]
