Team Kim, who arrived in Beijing four days ago and supported their teammates by visiting short track and speed skating arenas while adapting to the local area, had their first official practice at the Olympic Stadium only yesterday, the day before the match, according to the rules of the competition.



At the stadium where Park Tae-hwan won the first gold medal in Korean swimming history 14 years ago at the Beijing Summer Olympics, the athletes performed their first and last training while meticulously checking the condition of the ice and stones.



[Kim Eun-jung / National Women's Curling National Team: I focused a lot on adapting to the ice, and the structure, atmosphere, and feeling of ice are somewhat similar to the Gangneung Curling Center, so I think I can adapt well.]
