Cho made his Olympic debut, as South Korea's youngest male swimmer (aged 15), at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Swimming in heat three of the men's 1500 m freestyle, Cho faded down the stretch to round out the field in last place and thirty-third overall on the morning prelims in 15:50.45.[3][4]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Cho qualified again for the men's 1500 m freestyle by posting a FINA B-standard entry time of 15:19.49 from the Summer Universiade in Daegu.[5][6] He challenged seven other swimmers on the third heat, including top medal favorite David Davies of Great Britain. Cho rounded out the field to last place by a 13.38-second margin behind Russia's Alexey Filipets in 15:43.43. Cho failed to advance into the final, as he placed twenty-fifth overall in the preliminaries.[7][8]
