'리틀 팀킴' 한국여자컬링대표팀(춘천시청)이 2019 컬링월드컵 3차대회 우승을 차지했다.
2018 평창 올림픽 여자컬링 금메달팀 스웨덴을 꺾었다. 김민지 스킵이 이끄는 한국은 스웨덴 옌셰핑에서 열린 컬링월드컵 3차대회 결승에서 스웨덴을 6-4로 제압했다.
한국은 20세 동갑내기 춘천시청 스킵 김민지, 리드 김수진, 세컨드 양태이, 서드 김혜린으로 구성됐다. 지난해 국가대표 선발전에서 평창올림픽 은메달팀 '팀 킴(경북체육회·스킵 김은정)'을 꺾고 태극마크를 달았다. 보통 컬링에서 팀명은 스킵의 성을 따서 만들어서, 춘천시청은 '리틀 팀 킴'이라 불린다.
스킵 안나 하셀보리가 이끄는 스웨덴은 평창올림픽 결승에서 '팀 킴'을 꺾고 금메달을 차지한 팀이다. '리틀 팀 킴'이 대신 설욕했다. 대표팀은 3엔드까지 4-1로 앞섰지만, 4-5엔드에 1점씩 허용해 4-3으로 쫓겼다. 6엔드에 2점을 땄고, 7엔드에 1점만 내주며 승리했다.
한국은 지난해 9월 중국 월드컵 1차대회에서 1승5패에 그쳤지만, 지난해 12월 미국 월드컵 2차대회에서 은메달을 차지했다. 스웨덴 월드컵 3차전에서는 B조 1위로 결승에 진출해 우승까지 차지했다.
한국은 올해 5월 중국 베이징에서 열리는 컬링월드컵 그랜드 파이널 출전권을 따냈다. 그랜드 파이널은 월드컵 1~3차전 우승팀이 참가한다. 김민지는 "2차전 결승전 패배로 힘들었지만 열심히 훈련했다"고 소감을 밝혔다.

There were couple of interesting sport events this week as well.
1. Of Course it was Super Bowl LIII week and Who Else! New England
Patriots beat LA Rams 13-3 and were solidifying their Dynasity
as the best Football Franchise ever in USA. Bellichick-Brady team
has won 6 championships in last 18 years! Tom Brady has won 6 times
and he is the best QB ever in my mind! Congratulation!
2. PGA,Waste management Phoenix Open
Rickie Fowler won finally his coveted tournament.He had collapsed
on Sundays last 2 times afrer leading 54 holes and in this time,
everythings seemed to be that way again when when he made double
and triple. No player has ever won since 1983 with double and triple
on Sunday. But he beat odd with birdies at 15th and 17th.
It was happy scene for him to enjoy his victory with his family,
especially his Grandfather,who presented at the course. Go! Rickie!
One sad and shameful incidence in European Tour as well. Sergio Garcia
was disqualified from tournament after damages 5 greens unable to control
his emotion after missing putts.He should control his temper tantrums.so
as his country man by the name of Rahm. KJ

Thanks for the great news from Korea and all the updates of the sports world, Dr. Hwang.
You and I used to watch Tom Brady when he was playing for University of Michigan so that
in spite of widespread dislike of him outside New England, we Michiganians, I'm afraid,
are biased in favor of him.
In spite of some serious question raised involving the Deflategate, the more I learned about
his youth in high school, college years and his difficulty being drafted into professional football
long before his success, I have to admit that he demonstrated to the world what the American Spirit,
the rugged Old Wild West spirit, is like. What a persistence! What a determination! What a conviction!
There are many more words I can use for what he did.
As you know, there are too many others who go through the same but are not making it so that
God must be blessing him perhaps because of his strong faith, I just don't know and wonder.
Rickie Fowler may be on his way to the highest glory as well like Tom Brady, who knows?

watch Sergio Garcia's temper tantrum.
What a shame!
2019.02.04 02:06
Thanks for your comment as usual! Dr. Lee!
I agree with you wholeheartedly that Brady has overcome
aginst adversities from his youth to professional career.
I also am bias for him and proud Michiganian!
This year's Champion team is not tradionally dominant team
as most of previous Championship teams,but once the game is
on the line,It is again "Here comes Brady's time!".
Game aginst Kansas City for AFC Championship was vivid example
of his superb capability to make all those touchdowns at waning
time of last quarter as well as extended game.
That kind of excutions over and over are not somethings you get
by practice. You have something born with and we could see a very
few players at our time like,MJ,Tiger Woods,and Yuna Kim.
Clutch excution at the most crucial time! God Bless him! KJ

'낚시꾼 수윙'으로 유명해진 최호성선수(46)는 이번주 PGA 페불비치
프로암 대회에 주최측의 초청으로 참가해 주목을 끌고있다.
최호성선수는 다 아시다싶히 독특한 수윙으로 일본 PGA대회 우승을 계기로
작년 골프뉴스 뉴스에 제일 흥미로운 뉴스로 뽑힐정도로 유명해졌다.
팬들의 강력한 요청으로 주최측이 초청했는데 많은 celebrity들이 아마
추어로 참가하는 이대회의 특정상 인기몰이를 할수있는 여건은 충분해 그
귀추가 주목된다. 관련기사는 아래와 같습니다. 규정

Thank you, Dr. Hwang, for introducing 최호성, whom I never heard of.
I googled and learned everything about him.
My latest in my golf swing is to copy Gary Player's swing, and
I believe Choi's swing is a form of exaggerating Gary Player's swing.
I am encouraged by the success of Choi's swing and will adopt his swing to a degree
to see if I can generate a few more yards out of my driver.
Thanks again.
2019.02.05 10:47
Keep it up! Dr. Lee!
He mentioned his driving distance became 13 yards further
with this swing(avg.282 yars).
He became world famous player with this swing and he seems
to me cope rather well with this situation. Let see how he
will do at the tournament this week.
here is more about him and click followings to read. KJ

평창 올림픽 여자 컬링에서 준우승했던 팀 김을 작년에 꺽고 한국 국가
대표팀이된 춘천의 '리틀 팀김'은 금년 월드컵 3차대회에서 지난 올리픽
금메달 국가인 스웨덴팀을 물리치고 우승했다.
이로서 리틀 팈김은 평창올림픽에서의 스웨덴에 섷욕은 물론 금년 2차대회
결승전 에서 마지막엔드 집중부족으로 일본에 역전패를 당한것에도 갚은셈이다.
이로서 우리 대표팀은 5월 베이징에서 벌어질(카나다,일본,한국,그리고
주최국 중국)월드컵 그랜드 파이널에 참가하게 되었다. 척박한 토양에서도
꾸준히 실력을 양성 세계의 강팀중의 하나가된 우리 여자 컬링팀에 자랑
스럽고 이번 승리에 큰박수를 보낸다. 규정
