The 2011 Astana-Almaty [아스타나 - 알마티] Winter Asian Games gave Korea thirteen gold medals - the largest number ever achieved by Korea in winter games. This achievement was largely thanks to the amazing strength of athletes in snow sports. Alpine skiing‚ in particular‚ brought home three gold medals for Korea. Kim Sun-joo [김선주]‚ became the first Korean athlete in this sport to win two gold medals. We introduce you to the star of Korean alpine skiing.
In Pyeongchang‚ Gangwon Province‚ there is a training center for national alpine skiers. Alpine skiing‚ a sport that originated in the European Alps‚ is characterized by steep slopes and fast downhill skiing.
Although alpine skiing has always been a less popular sport than other winter sports‚ this year's fantastic results in the Winter Asian Games have focused the spotlight on alpine skiing‚ and at the heart of it all was Kim Sun-joo.
The path to winning a gold medal was a rough one.
[Interview : Kim Sun-joo‚ Alpine Skier] "I heard someone say that none of the female skiers would be able to bring home a medal. No one will get a gold medal. I was so angry. I was so upset‚ that when I actually went out to compete‚ I was determined to win."
After taking gold in the women's downhill event with a time of 1:37:61 ‚ Kim Sun-joo won her second gold at the women's super-G‚ clocking in at 1:10:83.
She continued on to try for her third medal‚ but ended up unsuccessful with a fall a few steps short of the finish line.
[Interview : Kim Sun-joo‚ Alpine Skier] "I was angry at myself. I tried so hard to be humbler‚ to calm my mind‚ but it didn't work. I obviously let myself go somewhere to have fallen like that."
After the contest‚ Kim Sun-joo is training harder than ever to make sure that she never misses another chance at a medal. These days‚ she is preparing for two more national competitions.
[Interview : Lee Gi-hyeon‚ Coach of the National Alpine Ski Team] "Kim Sun-joo has a great rhythm‚ which gives her more balance and speed on any course‚ flat or sloped. Other athletes with less rhythm can lose their balance and the right timing on a course‚ but Kim Sun-joo can race down that course faster than anyone else."
She completes her three-hour morning training and heads to the athletes' camp located nearby.
There is a mini camp here for winter sport athletes. National athletes come here to eat and train together.
In skiing‚ basic physical fitness is just as important as technique. And Kim Sun-joo is here to train every day.
She says that here‚ amidst the sweat that testifies to the athletes' hard work‚ is where she feels most comfortable.
[Interview : Kim Sun-joo‚ Alpine Skier] "When I'm skiing‚ I need full-body speed‚ elasticity‚ muscle strength‚ and endurance. I'm training my whole body."

She does not stop her training even on family trips‚ and her family is constantly complaining that their holidays together are no different than training sessions.
[Interview : Kang Chil-gu‚ Ski Jumper] "Kim Sun-joo hates to lose. She works out more than other people do‚ which gave her fantastic success this year. I have a feeling she's going to be a hard athlete to beat in the future."
After a long day of training‚ Kim Sun-joo heads to her dormitory. Her day isn't over yet. The most important task is still left - fixing her skis. She touches up the edges and waxes the bottoms. Since she spends most of her time with her skis‚ it's no surprise that they are her most precious possession.
[Interview : Kim Sun-joo‚ Alpine Skier] "Skiing is the one thing that I'll remember most about my life. I want to remember it forever."
After her skis have been fixed and retouched‚ her free time truly begins. Like many other young people‚ Kim Sun-joo enjoys surfin
