"Go out for the country and move forward with your dreams." Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jin Jingzhu cheered himself on Weibo.

At Kim Kyung-joo's home, there is a special cabinet for the medals and awards she has won. Her parents lamented that they did not expect Jin Jingzhu to be able to engage in this sport all the time, and what they did not expect was that one day she would be able to stand on the Olympic field. At first, her family didn't support Kim Kyung-joo learning to skate for the simple reason that the training was too hard. But Jin Jingzhu did not think so, she grew up with short hair, lively and active, but also taught herself to ride a bicycle, and the small bumps on her body were not taken to heart. In the eyes of her mother Jin Yushun, Jin Jingzhu has been an energetic child since she was a child, and no matter what she does, she has a momentum of not accepting defeat.

In 1998, by chance, Kim Kyung-joo was caught in the eye by the coach of the sports school. Because compared with children of the same age, Jingzhu has a quick response and excellent comprehensive quality, and is a "good seedling" for speed skating. That year, 6-year-old Kim Kyung-joo left his parents for the first time and entered the gymnastics training. When the child of the same age is still spoiled in the arms of her parents, Jin Jingzhu has begun to train harshly, and her mother Jin Yushun looks in her eyes and hurts in her heart, and wants to take her home, but Jin Jingzhu said that she will not go.

In the eyes of the coach, Kim Kyung-joo trains particularly hard, with extraordinary perseverance and a desire for victory. When Jin Jingzhu participated in the Provincial Games, the outdoor cold wind was bitter, and all the contestants wore thick gloves, but in order to achieve good results in the competition, she chose to take off her gloves and devote herself to it wholeheartedly. At that time, her strength of not accepting defeat made everyone present impressed.

With inner love and tenacity, Jin Jingzhu's skating technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. In 2006, Jin Jingzhu changed from speed skating to short track speed skating, and his level improved rapidly, and he was selected for the Jilin Short Track Speed Skating Team. Although the results are good, but has not made a qualitative leap, Kim Kyung-joo has also been confused, do not know whether he wants to continue to adhere to the sport. It was not until 2017, at the age of 25, that she changed back to speed skating and started the "second spring" of her sports career. After 3 years of hard training, Jin Jingzhu was successfully selected for the Chinese speed skating team and represented the country in world-class competitions for many times.

Although he failed to reach the podium, Kim Kyung-joo has already shown himself the best in the competition. "Participating in the Winter Olympics is as difficult as picking stars, and it is our honor to be able to represent the country." Mother Jin Yushun said excitedly.
