Kim Du-chun (Korean: 김두천; born 1968) is a paralympic athlete from South Korea competing mainly in category C6 sprint events.
Kim competed in four Paralympics winning six medals including four gold. He first competed in the 1988 Summer Paralympics where he finished fifth in the 100m, fourth in the 200m and fifth in the 400m. At the 1992 Summer Paralympics in Barcelona he finished second in the 100m behind the world record equalling run of American Larry Banks, and won gold in the 200m and 400m where he set a new Paralympic games record. In the 1996 Summer Paralympics he retained his title in the 400m in a new world record and despite American Freeman Register setting a new world record in the heats of the 100m, Kim beat him in the final to win the Gold medal but he was only able to win the bronze in the 200m. His final games came in 2000 where he finished sixth in the 100m, fourth in the 200m and 400m.[1]
