Kim won her SEA Games Elite Women's Triathlon gold in 2017 at Kuala Lumpur. She even had her training in Portugal.
In her interview, " I don't feel nervous about it… I've been training for 10 months a year and I feel confident enough" said Mangrobang
She even posted on her Facebook page on November 13, "The job is never easy. It's literally sweat and tears but there is no room for surrender. We just have to rise up and go… beast mode!
Let's cheer and support Kim on her battles for the Games!
