U.S. skier reunites with biological dad

SEOUL, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- U.S. Olympic skier Toby Dawson has been reunited with his Korean biological father in Seoul.

Dawson, who won a bronze medal in the 2006 Winter Olympics, had not seen his father, Kim Jae-soo, since he was 3 years old, Yonhap reported.

Kim, a 53-year-old bus driver, said he lost Dawson in 1981 near a market in Busan, South Korea.

Dawson, adopted by a U.S. couple, made headlines last year when he went public with the story of his search for his biological parents. The newspaper said a number of men came forward claiming to be his father.

He learned through a DNA test last week that Kim was his biological father, the newspaper said.
