Athletic career

[edit]

Kim began rhythmic gymnastics during middle school, when she was 10 years old. At first, it was only a hobby for her, but her coach encouraged her to take it up seriously.[2] She trained in Novogorsk, house of the Russian national team, with coach Evgeniya Gertsikova for a 5 years period.[3]

2017-2021

[edit]

In her first senior year, she won the Korean National championships in March, and was named as the future Son Yeon-jae of rhythmic gymnastics.[4] At the 2017 Asian Championships, she finished 9th in the all-around final and 5th in the team competition. [5] Her first world cup was the 2017 Kazan World Challenge Cup, where she finished 18th in the all-around.[2] Earlier that year, she competed at the 2017 World Games in Wroclaw but didn't advance to any apparatus final, her highest placement being 16th with the ribbon.[6] Her last competition of the season was the 2017 World Championships in Pesaro, finishing 31st in the qualifications thus not advancing in the all-around finals.[2]

She began her next season at the 2018 Grand Prix Moscow, finishing in the 15th place,[7] qualifying into the ball and hoop final.[8]

In 2019, she participated at the annual Aeon Cup in Tokyo along Lim Se-eun, and the junior gymnast Sohn Ji-in representing Sejong & Bongeun RG : they finished 6th in the qualification round.[9]

In 2021, she won the bronze medal with 23.55 points in the individual ball event at the 2021 Asian Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships.[10] Thereafter on September 28, 2021, she announced on her Instagram account that she had retired with the Asian Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships being the last competition she participated in.[11]
