Where It All Began: Kim Eun-jung Comes Back to Uiseong

There's something poetic about a champion returning to their roots. Kim Eun-jung first picked up a curling stone in Uiseong thanks to the nation's first dedicated curling stadium, built there in 2006 -- and now, decades later, she's back where it all started. Leading a new team out of the city that made Korean curling a global story, Eun-jung carries with her the experience of an Olympian who has competed at the highest levels of the sport across two Games and four World Championships. Uiseong gave her the game -- now she's giving back.
