Tim Kim, the women’s curling team at the Beijing Olympics, lost to the United States for the second time in a row, but did not hesitate or shrink.
Tim Kim lost to the United States 8-6 in the 5th round of the preliminary round, and suffered 2 losses in a row following yesterday (13th) against China, and tied for 6th with Canada with 2 wins and 3 losses.
It is not easy to advance to the quarterfinals, but Tim Kim’s mood was not gloomy.
After the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics where they won a silver medal, Team Kim seems to be enjoying the game itself as it is the Olympic stage that has managed to return to the Olympic stage after suffering difficulties such as the ‘leader’s abuse of power’.
After the match, Kim Kyung-ae and Kim Seon-young, who met with reporters in the mix zone, continued to laugh and answer questions.
Kim Kyung-ae said, “I will forget the morning game. I will turn off the switch. I will prepare for the evening game with a fresh mind.”
Tim Kim, who brought Yut-nori to relieve tension, plans to relax and prepare for the next game while playing Yut-nori at the dormitory.
The next match is the Korea-Japan match, which will be held at 9:05 tonight.
Team Kim and Japan’s ‘Team Fujisawa’ faced each other twice in the Pyeongchang Games, and in the end, they recorded 1 win and 1 loss.
Japan beat China 10-2 this morning and are in second place with 4 wins and 1 loss.
Kim Kyung-ae vowed, “Just because Japan beat China, doesn’t mean that Japan will always beat us. I’ll focus on the evening game.”
“In the second and third rounds (with two wins in a row), it was effective to read the ice well and play the game aggressively. In the future, if I read the ice well, I will play aggressively, and if not, I will play defensively.” said.
