Kim Sang-gyeom (37, High1), who won a valuable silver medal after four Olympic challenges, shed tears during a video call with his wife.

Kim Sang-gyeom's wife posted a picture of her video call with her husband on her social media (SNS) on the 9th and shared her thoughts.

"At the PyeongChang Olympics, when I decided to get married, I shared a sad tear beyond a video call with my husband who fell from the round of 16," he recalled. "Oh, we felt like we were partners who would share sadness for the rest of our lives."

Recalling the last Beijing Games, he said, "It hurt me to be sad that I couldn't hang the medal around my neck," adding, "My brother's words that he wanted to win a medal and present good memories to his wife touched my heart the most."

But this time it was different. "In the video call we faced at the end of today's game, we are facing each other with tears of joy," his wife said. "It's the fourth Olympics I would never have come if I was alone. "The hearts of many people who cared for and trusted me have finally come together to repay you with value," he said.

Kim Sang-gyeom's silver medal is the result of 'human victory'. In the midst of the sadness of unpopular sports, he had to work hard in the construction to earn training expenses, and he only joined the business team after he was over 30. As a late bloomer, he only reached the world stage in his late 30s.

The process of the game was also a drama. In the final of the men's parallel competition at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics held at Lvigno Snow Park in Italy on the 8th, Kim Sang-gyeom won the silver medal, trailing Benjamin Carl (Austria) by 0.19 seconds. Initially, "Cabbage Boy" Lee Sang-ho (Nexen Wyngaard), a leading candidate for the medal, was eliminated in the first edition of the tournament, but Kim Sang-gyeom, who came in eighth in the preliminary round, wrote a reversal drama.

I followed my luck. Round of 16 opponent Jeanne Kosir (Slovenia) and quarterfinal opponent Roland Fischnaller (Italy) settled in the semifinals by falling or missing the course while driving. But luck wasn't everything. Kim Sang-gyeom won the final ticket with his skills, beating Terbel Zampirov (Bulgaria) by 0.23 seconds in the semifinals. In addition, his unwavering commitment made him win a silver medal.
