"Me? I only trust Jihoon. Haha."
As a member of Team Kim's Gangneung City Hall (Skip Kim Eun-jung, Third Kim Kyung-ae, Second Kim Cho-hee, and Lead Kim Sun-young), who won a silver medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Kim Kyung-ae, who will compete in the Harbin Winter Asian Games with a mixed double, a mixed game between men and women, said she is relying heavily on her partner Sung Ji-hoon (Gangwon Provincial Government) and wants to give him a gold medal.
In an interview with Yonhap News on the 9th, Kim Kyung-ae said, "If I won a silver medal for four players last time, I want to win a gold medal this time," adding, "I really want to make Ji-hoon solve the military service problem."
Kim Kyung-ae won the "Team Kim" and the silver medal at the 2017 Asian Winter Games in Sapporo.
He is determined to change the color of the medal at the Harbin Winter Asian Games, which he will participate again for the first time in eight years.
Kim Kyung-ae and Sung Ji-hoon were in the same team when they were at the Gyeongbuk Sports Association about eight years ago.
After building new nests in Gangneung City Hall and Gangwon Provincial Office, respectively, they formed a mixed double group at the suggestion of Sung Ji-hoon.
Sung Ji-hoon said, "I told Kyung-ae, who is full of charisma and good at making firm decisions and finishing during the game, that we should do a mix-double together," adding, "She is good and outstanding in everything. I have a lot to learn because I am good at performance, experience, and mind control."
Kim Kyung-ae responded, "I know Ji-hoon's play and personality well, so I accepted it when Ji-hoon asked me to form a group together."
Kim Kyung-ae is a senior in curling, but Sung Ji-hoon is a senior if it is limited to a mixed double.
"Ji Hoon used to be a member of the national mixed-double team. I trust Ji Hoon's words almost 100 percent," Kim said.
"I always tell you the weight (century) or line first," he said. "And rather than saying that my thoughts are wrong, it gives me confidence to do it comfortably."
Kim Kyung-ae thinks the current completeness of the mixed double group is 60-70%.
I plan to refine my operation a little more through this month's Canadian tour competition and off-season training.
Sung Ji-hoon said that the preparation of the two was more than 85%, which was a little higher.
Sung Ji-hoon said, "I went out once and finished third in an international competition, and I was satisfied because my performance was not bad on the stage where professional mixed-double players came out," adding, "I need to learn the weight sense quickly for each ice, but I will focus on supplementing the remaining 15%."
Curling is said to be a sport of teamwork.
In particular, as two players have to play the mixed double, breathing and close communication between the two are the key.
Teamwork is also the most confident part of Kim Kyung-ae and Sung Ji-hoon's team.
The two are very close.
Kim Kyung-ae said, "Since we are really close, Ji-hoon sometimes comes to my honeymoon house. My husband and all three of us are close, so we go to eat delicious food together and hang out together," and added, "My husband is also in a mixed double group with Ji-hoon. It's really good." 메이저놀이터
Kim Kyung-ae, who had only played the "Team Kim" four, said about the charm of the mix-double, "Because the game progresses quickly because it throws only five stones, and because there are many variables, I think the game can be turned upside down at any time even if there is a two to three point difference."
It is also said that the burden of physical strength is much less.
Kim Kyung-ae burst into laughter, saying, "I rarely sweep because men sweep much better than women."
"Even if I say I'll sweep, Ji-hoon says it's okay," Kim Kyung-ae said, explaining her role, "There are a lot of shots Ji-hoon solves at Stones 2 to 4, and I have to be good at throwing at Stones 1 and 5."
Sung Ji-hoon also laughed, saying, "Mix-double has a lot of things for men to cover. It's definitely harder to mix (than the four members) physically."
"After running the game based on the No. 1 stone set by Kyung-ae, and I connected in the middle, Kyung-ae will finish again at No. 5," he said, explaining the gold sweeping plan.
