Korean Skating Prodigy to Represent U.S.
Kim Hyo-jung won the U.S. short track speed skating championships .... Born in Seoul in 1988, Kim Hyo-jung is legally an American citizen.... "I never wanted to make her into a national athlete in Korea because of the atmosphere there, where people are so fixated on results," her mother Moon Kyeong-hee says.

| Soon after she arrived, she made a name for herself in short track speed skating and joined a training camp in Colorado Springs. Kim, who is in 10th grade at a local Christian high school, attends regular training sessions with male athletes, including Apolo Anton Ohno. |
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall during that conversation. |
