[JOINT PRESS CORPS] </div> </div> CORTINA D'AMPEZZO &#8212; Kim Yun-ji celebrated her gold medal in biathlon at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Paralympics with the dish she said she wanted most: a steaming bowl of kimchi jjigae, or kimchi stew, delivered to the athletes’ village. Kim won the women’s sitting 12.5-kilometer individual biathlon event at the Paralympics in Tesero, Italy, on Sunday with a time of 38 minutes and 0.1 seconds. Her gold marked Korea's first women's Winter Paralympic medal, and was just Korea’s second overall Winter Paralympic gold medal following cross-country skier Sin Eui-hyun's victory at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Paralympics. Kim expressed special gratitude for the boxed meals prepared by the Korea Paralympic Committee’s meal support center after winning the gold. She posted a photo of the first delivered meal on her social media account on Monday and wrote, “Thank you for preparing Korean meals! It looks delicious.” “If I had eaten only Western food here I might have skipped meals, but the Korea Paralympic Committee provides low-sodium Korean meals every day,” Kim said. “I get to eat healthy and delicious food, so I look forward to dinner every evening.” Kim also named the dish she missed the most while staying in Italy. “I want kimchi jjigae the most,” Kim said. “The instant curry the athletes’ village gave us was also really good. I will eat it again after the competition ends.” <div class="ab_photo photo_center ab_zoom"> <div class="image"> <img src="https://imgnews.pstatic.net/image/640/2026/03/10/0000085459_002_20260310155014189.jpg" alt="" />Kim Yun-ji smiles with a bowl of kimchi stew in a photo shared by the Korea Paralympic Committee on March 10. [KOREA PARALYMPIC COMMITTEE] </div> </div> Members at the Korea House meal support center brought exactly what she wanted. A delivery vehicle carried the kimchi jjigae about two and a half hours through mountainous terrain to the athletes’ village. Kim later held up the pot of kimchi jjigae at the athletes’ village in Tesero and smiled brightly. The committee operates the meal support center at Korea House to provide meals for the Korean delegation. Dietitian Jeon Hyang-hee works with head chef Jang Jong-ho, two cooks and two kitchen staff members. The team prepares 60 to 70 Korean lunch boxes each day for athletes. Staff brought about 300 kilograms (660 pounds) of ingredients from Korea, including 140 kilograms of rice and 40 kilograms of kimchi. They also transported seasonings such as chili powder and sesame seeds. Staff members purchased additional Korean food ingredients exported by Korean companies in Italy. The center delivers boxed meals to athletes staying at villages in Cortina for alpine skiing and in Predazzo near Tesero. “We wanted to provide athletes with a good meal,” Jeon said. “We try to prepare meals in a way that the athletes want as much as possible. I am glad the athletes like them. We keep hearing that there is little food to eat in the athletes’ village, so we are working hard to prepare meals.” Jang echoed that sentiment as the kitchen staff continued preparing meals for the athletes. “The athletes are working hard to win medals,” Jang said. “We prepare meals with the same determination. We always cheer for them and hope they perform well and win medals.” This article was originally written in Korean and translated by a bilingual reporter with the help of generative AI tools.
