BEIJING, On the day of her first Olympic race at home in 2018, South Korean speed skater Kim Min-sun was dealing with such severe back pains that she needed a cortisone shot just to hit the ice.
The 2016 Winter Youth Olympic champion in the women’s 500m finished in 16th place in the same distance at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics two years later, a result that Kim thinks could have been much better if she had taken better care of herself
