Jiao Zhimin (Chinese: 焦志敏; born December 1, 1963)[1] is a Chinese-born naturalised-South Korean[2] former table tennis player. She won a bronze medal in women's singles and a silver medal in women's doubles at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.[1] She was a semi-finalist in women's singles and doubles at the 1985 World Championships in Gothenburg.[3] At the 1987 World Championships in New Delhi she was runner-up in the mixed doubles, and was a member of China's victorious team.[3]
Personal life
In 1984, she met South Korean table tennis player Ahn Jae-hyung at the 1984 Asian Table Tennis Championships in Islamabad, Pakistan. She and Ahn married in 1989 in Sweden due to the lack of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea at that time. Their marriage generated a massive hype within the South Korean media.[4][5] The couple's son, golfer An Byeong-hun, became the youngest champion in United States Amateur Championship history,[4] winning the 2009 event at the age of 17.
After her marriage to Ahn, Jiao retired from professional table tennis and acquired South Korean citizenship. She engaged in business, and started a Korean restaurant and fashion store in Harbin. From 2004, she served as the chairman of an information consulting service founded by her in Beijing.[6][7] In 2010, she was appointed as a public relations ambassador for Jeju Island, a position which she would serve for two years.[8] In 2013, she was appointed as the chairman of Omnitel China.[9] In recent years, Jiao has hosted a talk show on China's CCTV-5 television sports channel. Following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, she has since returned to South Korea.[10]
