Shin competed for the South Korean swimming team in the men's 200 m breaststroke at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.[2] He finished outside the semifinal time in 2:15.88 to slide under the FINA B-cut (2:18.37) at the World Championships one year earlier in Melbourne, Australia.[4][5] Rallying from sixth at the 150-metre turn in heat two, Shin fought off a three-way sprint challenge from Miguel Molina of the Philippines and Martti Aljand of Estonia on the final lap to snatch the fourth spot in 2:16.21. Shin failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-third out of 53 swimmers in the prelims.[6]
