"I think it is rare for children in the city to achieve such results in rowing." Speaking of her daughter Kim, Kym said this. Kym is proud of Jin's progress, from being selected to be a water sports team that he has never been in contact with, to be the fourth place in Athens Olympic Games, and then to be a key athlete in Beijing Olympic Games. "This year's Beijing Olympic Games, I will stay with my mother in front of the TV."

The inexplicable fate of boating

Jin's home is in Shenyang, Liaoning. In his father's eyes, Kim was a girl who liked sports very much when she was a child: "She was very tall when she was a child and liked long-distance running very much." Kim, a tall man, naturally played basketball after he entered middle school. However, because a sports school coach came to the school to choose seedlings, Kim's sports life trajectory turned to water. "At that time, rowing was a strange thing for Kim and me," Kym said. "But because my daughter could get professional training and thought it was good for her children, I let her go." Later, Zhang Zhenping, Kim's first coach, came to Jiangxi to teach, and Kim followed.

Only 10 days a year is left for family.

Kim is the only child in the family, and now her parents can only see her about 10 days a year. "Since I joined the national team in 2003, I can only go home once a year." Kym told reporters that Jin goes home around September and June every year, and in June, 65438+ 10, Jin spent the Spring Festival-like family reunion in winter training.

After returning home, Kim will go shopping with her mother and catch up with relatives and friends during the break. "Every time I see her, I feel that she has matured and I can feel that she has been training very hard." Kym's words revealed her love for her daughter. "Although I came back less, I was very sensible and filial." Kym revealed to reporters that all the money that Kim won the gold medal at the 10th National Games was used to buy a house for his parents. "She said she wanted me to live comfortably with her mother."

Parents' eternal pride

Kim is already a "two-dynasty veteran" of the China Olympic Corps. In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Jin, who was less than 20 years old, took part in the women's eight-person single oar helmsman project and won the fourth place, which missed the medal. "She was still young at that time and participated in the Olympic Games for the first time." When the reporter asked Kym if he would regret for his daughter, he simply replied.

After the Athens Olympic Games, I changed to sculls. Together with Feng Guixin, Tang Bin and Xi Aihua from Jiangxi, she won the 2007 World Cup and the bronze medal in the World Championships, and was called the "four golden flowers" in water sports. In an interview with the media, Kim said that he didn't want to bring the regrets of the Athens Olympic Games to the Beijing Olympic Games. Regarding her daughter's performance at the Beijing Olympic Games, Kym calmly replied: "We are very happy that my child can be one of the more than 600 China athletes who participated in the Beijing Olympic Games. I told her that no matter what her grades are, she will always be the pride of her parents as long as she works hard. "

If the race goes well, Jin will take part in the women's rowing quadruple sculls final from 6: 30 pm to 6: 5438 pm on August 6, 2008, and hit the Olympic gold medal.

New gold medal

In the just-concluded rowing women's quadruple sculls final, China, composed of Tang Bin, Jin, Xi Aihua and others, defeated the favourite British team and won the gold medal. This is the first gold medal in rowing since China participated in the Olympic Games. Their names are recorded in the history of rowing in China.
