Perspective
Kim began rhythmic gymnastics during middle school, when she was 10 years old. At first, it was only a hobby for her, but her coach encouraged her to take it up seriously.[2] She trained in Novogorsk, house of the Russian national team, with coach Evgeniya Gertsikova for a 5 years period.[3]
