Tim

Kim

missed out on a direct ticket to Beijing at the World Championships last May.



Even after being tied with 'World's No. 2' Canada, they were pushed out of their opponent's record and suffered a hardship.



After that, they spent the hot summer with strong training and prepared for the final qualifying rounds for the Olympics in December.



The fighting spirit of the Taegeuk warriors shown at the Tokyo Olympics became a great stimulus.



Q. What sport impressed you at the Tokyo Olympics?



[archery. volleyball. Swimming. I took care of everything. High jump.]



[Kim Young-mi / National curling team: (Sang-hyeok Woo) never gave up until the end and enjoyed fighting with him, I think it was very impressive.]



Tim Kim, who left for field training in Canada last week, played 7 games in the international competition where he first participated in the season. I reached the top by victory.



He also defeated the Canadian national team, which had lost the World Championships, and gained confidence ahead of the final qualifying round.



[Kyungae Kim/National Curling Team: I feel so good to win the first match of the season... .]



[Kim Eun-jung / Curling National Team: When I met that team again, I felt confident that I could do well.]



Just as they kept the Taegeuk mark despite the many trials and tribulations after the Pyeongchang Myth, the team Kim players promised another impression in Beijing.



[Kim Seon-young / Curling National Team: (This time) I really think that it will be an Olympics where our team Kim can create something.]
