Kye Sun-hui (born August 2, 1979 in Pyongyang) is a North Korean judoka.
Kye won three Olympic medals in different weight classes, in 1996, 2000 and 2004. When she won the gold medal in Atlanta, 1996 she became the youngest gold medalist in judo. She had entered the Games thanks to the wild card system, and her Olympic gold has been described as one of the biggest surprises of the Atlanta Olympics.[1]
Kye competed for a fourth time at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing but did not fare too well.[2]
She has been awarded the Kim Il Sung Prize and the title of "labour heroine".[3]
