Son Hee-jung (also Son Hui-jeong, Korean: 손 희정; born July 6, 1987) is a South Korean amateur road and track cyclist.[1] She represented her nation South Korea at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and later helped the South Koreans capture the women's team pursuit title at the |2013 Asian Cycling Championships.
Son qualified for the South Korean squad in the women's road race at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving a single berth from the defunct UCI B World Championships. Passing through a three-hour limit and a 102.6-km mark, Son fell to the ground after a heavy collision with six other cyclists and did not finish the race.[2][3][4]
At the 2011 Summer Universiade in Shenzhen, Son joined her teammate Gu Sun-Geun to stand on the podium, as she handed the South Koreans a 1–2 finish with a silver medal time in 3:31:42.[5][6]
Two years later, at the 2013 Asian Cycling Championships in New Delhi, Son and her South Korean squad (led by 2012 Olympian Lee Min-Hye) posted a time of 4:41.500 to defeat Japan for the gold medal in the final match of the women's 4 km team pursuit.[7]
