From BBC News:
"US skier to meet S Korean father:
Toby Dawson's story has made headlines in South Korea
A US skier whose Olympic medal brought to light his biological father is in South Korea for their first reunion.
28-year-old Toby Dawson admitted he felt a mixture of emotions as he prepared to meet Kim Jae-su, a bus driver from the port city of Busan.
Mr Kim said he lost his son while visiting a street market in 1981.
Mr Dawson's 2006 bronze medal, and the story of his adoption by a US couple, prompted dozens of South Koreans to claim they were his real parents.
Kim Jae-su, 53, said he had made the connection after friends and relatives called him, saying the skier looked just like him."
What, Asian?
...Like I said, surely headed for Hell.
