South Korean Claims US Skier is his son
Because the Olympics need a little extra drama...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4732042.stm

A South Korean man has claimed he is the natural father of US skier Toby Dawson, who won a bronze in the Winter Olympics last week, media reports said.
Dawson, 27, was adopted by US parents in 1982, from an orphanage in Seoul who did not know who his parents were.

Kim Jae-su, 52, said his lost son went missing during a shopping trip with his mother near a market in the South Korean city of Busan, in 1981.

Dawson was found near the same market, South Korean's Yonhap news agency said.

1. I hope that this story has a happy ending.
For me, it's not news until Dawson announces that he has found his bio parents (he is apparently looking.)

2. Me too.
I'm sure there will be a lot of false alarms because of all the publicity he's getting.
