Hsu Kuo-tung (Chinese: 徐國棟; pinyin: Xú Guódòng; born September 22, 1983) is a Taiwanese former swimmer, who specialized in individual medley events.[1] Hsu competed only in the men's 400 m individual medley at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. He achieved a FINA B-cut of 4:35.33 from the National University Games in Taipei.[2] He challenged four other swimmers in heat one, including Hong Kong's Alex Fong, who turned out into one of city's popular singers, and Tunisia's 16-year-old Oussama Mellouli, who later became an Olympic champion in long-distance freestyle (2008) and open water (2012). He opened up his race to register a fourth-place time of 4:42.78, finishing behind Mellouli by almost a full second, and Fong, the winner of his heat, by more than 13 seconds. Hsu failed to reach the top 8 final, as he placed forty-fourth overall in the prelims.[3][4]
