Some English-language sources, such as GBR Athletics, erroneously state that South Korea's Kim Bok-joo was the winner of the men's 800 m and the 1500 m silver medallist. Contemporary English and Korean sources indicate it was his similarly-named teammate Kim Bong-yoo who achieved these feats.^[1][2][3]
