Kim Min-jae (Korean김민재; born 13 October 1983) is a South Korean weightlifter. He competed for South Korea at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[1] Kim originally finished eighth in the 2012 London Olympics, but retesting of samples of athletes from the 2012 Olympics[2] discovered that six of the top seven athletes were disqualified when found to be positive for the presence of performance-enhancing drugs. Therefore Kim became the silver medallist in the 94 kg weightlifting category.
