The Next Gold?
American Speed Skater Racing to Gold at Winter Olympics
17-year-old ice speed skater Hyo Jung Kim will be heading to the Winter Olympics in Italy next year after successful completions at the trials in Michigan. Kim, who was born in Korea but has spent most of her life living in California, is believed to be a high contender for the speed skating competition. Her parents originally came to California in 1980 and moved back to South Korea in 1992, leaving Kim in the United States to train under American coaches. Although she has not yet broken any international records, her coaches say that upcoming success for Kim is in the cards.
