Kim So-hee recorded a total of 1:34:06 in the first and second periods in the women's alpine skiing competition at the 2025 Harbin Winter Asian Games at Yaburi Ski Resort in China on the 8th. After Chisaki Maeda (1:33.50 of Japan), he ranked second and won the silver medal. It was Kim So-hee's first Asian Winter Games medal.
Kim So-hee recorded 47.85 seconds in the first period, ranking second, 0.56 seconds behind Maeda (47.29 seconds). Kim So-hee, who increased her chances of winning a medal, recorded a much better time of 46.21 seconds in the second period. However, Maeda posted the same record in the second period, eventually finishing second by 0.56 seconds.
It was a meaningful silver medal for Kim So-hee. Eight years ago, he shed tears due to injury at the 2017 Sapporo Games. In the first period of the ski women's competition, he got off to a good start, recording 1:14.17 seconds. He rose to third place, raising expectations for a medal. But the second period was a problem. He collapsed due to injury and couldn't finish the race, so he finished the first Winter Asian Games empty-handed.

Although he slowed down due to an ankle injury in the process, he ranked 33rd in the event event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the highest in the history of the Korean women's alpine skiing Olympics. Last year, he won four gold medals in the slalom, compound, competition, and super competition at the National Winter Sports Festival and became the MVP of the competition.
Kim So-hee was desperate ahead of the Harbin Winter Asian Games in 2025, which may be her last Asian Games. I got on a pleasant flow. In the women's competition of the FIS Kookmin University Yongpyeongbae Ski Competition (Far East Cup) held at Yongpyeong Resort in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province, on the 4th, just before departure, he won with a total time of 1:54.21 in the first and second periods. It was the first time in about a year that Kim So-hee won the Far East Cup, a sub-World Cup tournament, since the rotating match at the Japanese tournament on February 29 last year.
Kim So-hee continued her momentum and won her first medal in the Korean ski competition. Park Seo-yoon (Korea National Sports University) was ranked 6th (1:40.05), and Lee Min-seo (Korea National Sports University) was ranked 7th (1:41.22).
Korean Alpine Skiing, where Kim So-hee got off to a good start, will be replaced by Jeong Dong-hyun (High1 Resort), who will take over the baton. He will try to win his third consecutive title at the Winter Asian Games.
