Courageous Kim nearly beats Csizmazia
  Kim Scizmazia
 Kim Csizmazia was the first climber to clear the dry portion of the ice wall.
Kim Csizmazia entered the difficulty ice-climbing competition as the clear favorite, and while she took home her second consecutive gold medal, it was another Kim who went home the crowd favorite. Korean Jum-Sook Kim, competing less than four months after the tragic death of her husband, completed an inspiring silver-medal ascent that had the crowd cheering her name.
