Gyeonggi Provincial Team '5G' Women's Curling Led by Kim Eun-ji Aims for Olympic Medal After 8 Years

The Gyeonggi Provincial Women's Curling Team, representing South Korea, is set to compete in the Olympic mixed team event, hoping to secure a medal after an 8-year gap since their last significant achievement.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Women's Curling Team, recently transitioned from 'Team Kim', led by skip Kim Eun-ji, is gearing up to challenge for an Olympic medal at the upcoming mixed team event in Cortina, Italy. They are scheduled to face the United States in their opening round-robin match on January 12. This comes after the historical success of 'Team Kim', which won a silver medal at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics but fell short in Beijing 2022. The current team, nicknamed '5G' after their unique roster names and Kims ('GIM'), aims to continue South Korea's curling legacy.
