Chang Gyu-Cheol (also Jang Gyu-Cheol, Korean: 장 규철; born June 11, 1992 in Gyeonggi-do) is a South Korean swimmer, who specialized in butterfly events.[1][2] In 2010, Chang edged out South Africa's Chad le Clos by 0.18 of a second to claim a gold medal in the 100 m butterfly at the first ever Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore, posting his personal best of 53.13.[3] He also won a silver medal, as a member of the South Korean swimming team, in the men's medley relay at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.
Chang qualified for the men's 100 m butterfly at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, by eclipsing a FINA B-standard entry time of 52.45 seconds.[4] He challenged seven other swimmers on the third heat, including five-time Olympian Peter Mankoč of Slovenia, freestyle relay champion Clement Lefert of France, and former Olympic finalist Ryan Pini of Papua New Guinea. Chang raced to fifth place by a hundredth of a second (0.01) behind Pini in a time of 52.69 seconds. Chang failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed twenty-sixth overall in the preliminary heats.[5]
