Last weekend, we were all pleasantly surprised when young South Korean diver Kim Su-ji made history by winning a bronze medal at the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju.
Our Lee Min-sun had the chance to meet her. South Korean diver Kim Su-ji became a household name Sunday at the 2018 FINA World Swimming Championships … winning a bronze medal on the women's one-meter springboard.
She is the first South Korean diver to reach the podium of the international swimming competition.
The eighteen-year-old diver said her efforts to win a medal were a surprise even for her.
"Before diving, I did not think I would win a medal at all, but the results were much better than what I expected." My coach said that there were hope in the final round, but I really think I got such a good result. "
Kim has plunged into the water up to 200 times a day, … in the perspective of her five historic dives in the last few minutes of the one-meter springboard.
His monumental feat was the 1 meter that is not an official Olympic event.
"Personally, I feel that the individual event on the 3-meter springboard is the most important competition for me.It's the official Olympic event and so I've been wearing more and more." Pay attention to that.
One meter is quite low and the diver can perform a limited number of laps. But for the 3 meters, it's higher, which means there's more space to make turns and more difficult movements. "
Kim was only 14 years old when she made her Olympic debut in 2012 in London …
but she has not joined the national team for the upcoming Summer Olympics in 2016. And now, she hopes to have her next Olympic chance.
"I still have some competitions here in Gwangju, so I'm going to focus on those and if I can compete in the Olympics, there are still many more places I can climb. 39, efforts to achieve these goals.Me said I have a big dream, so I hope a good result in the Olympics.
Kim will compete in the mixed final of the 3-meter synchro on Saturday.
