I don't know how 
 to put in words,
but it somehow attracted me.
I have tried many sports but 
 this unique sport took me here.
I really want to continue 
 this path
but as the situation and 
 condition
don't match well in Korea,
I know it's going to be 
 difficult.
You're ten years old. 
 You're in third grade.
I began playing ice hockey 
 when I was 7 years old.
She has never worn skirts 
 since she was young.
She never played 
 with girlish things
like dolls or beauty toys.
The most difficult thing
was that there were 
 no female teams.
There were not teams 
 to practise with.
The only team that we can play 
 with is the national team.
The most difficult thing 
 about this
is the fact that my friends 
 are married,
have a good job and salary, 
 and are living a stable life.
She has sacrificed her 
 beautiful 20s for ice hockey,
and never had a chance 
 to go on dates
when she was in college.
From the perspective of a close 
 friend and not a mere fan,
she seems lonely and sad.
So I hope she does well 
 at the Olympics,
and then maybe chooses a 
 different path for herself.
I cannot do as I wish, 
 and it somehow agonises me.
It is hard to tell people 
 that I am an ice hockey player.
I think goalkeeper usually 
 bears more responsibility.
Sometimes we win the game, 
 but there are times we lose.
When we lose, I feel sorry 
 for the team.
I think the position brings the 
 responsibilities of the game
directly to me.
Hockey was an unpopular sport 
 in Korea.
Moreover, there were 
 limitations
in learning this sport.
Until grade 9, 
 we could find male teams
and practice with them 
 officially,
but after that, we couldn't do 
 that any more.
We had to look for teams to 
 play and practice with.
The Olympics is everything 
 in my life right now.
Korea has endeavoured so hard 
 to host Olympics,
and we have finally succeeded 
 after 2 failures.
This means so much to us.
When playing hockey, 
 I feel excited.
I don't know how to describe 
 it, but when playing hockey
I feel energetic and happy.
There were times when I wanted 
 to give up
because of tough situations
and conditions of playing ice 
 hockey in Korea.
However, the Olympic Games 
 kept me up until today.
Since she was 
 in elementary school,
she dreamed of playing on the 
 national team in the Olympics.
When I heard they were to be 
 hosted in PyeongChang,
I realised her dream would 
 come true.
Come here! Gather round.
There is someone here,
I'm going to introduce you 
 all to her.
She is the national ice hockey 
 team goalie,
and now she will participate 
 in the PyeongChang Olympics.
I wish to share the experiences 
 and knowledge that I acquired
about ice hockey to other 
 female players,
and further develop Korean 
 ice hockey in the future.
Because it's the first time 
 hosting winter games in Korea,
and also because it is the 
 first time the ice hockey team
is entering the world stage,
we bear a great 
 deal of responsibility.
Growing up, I watched many 
 advertisements for the Olympics
and I dreamed about playing 
 in the Olympics.
It means so much to me.
It's the first time I played 
 on such a big stage,
the first time I've played 
 the game like this.
