Kim is a two-time New Zealand time trial national champion and the 2025 road national champion. Since joining EF Education-Oatly in 2024, she has won a stage and the general classification at the Trofeo Ponente in Rosa and put in an impressive performance at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, narrowly missing out on the win in 2024. Kim made her Olympic debut in Paris and finished seventh in the time trial.
The 24-year-old came to cycling after a short stint in triathlon, a sport she took up as a teenager. When she grew tired of constant running injuries, she made the switch to cycling and has loved every minute of it.
She excels both in time trialing and on long climbs and appreciates the straightforwardness of both disciplines. Racing a TT or a climb means she doesn’t have to worry too much about tactics and can focus on pedaling and pushing herself to her limits, something Kim loves to do.
Off the bike, she loves to relax with her husband by going for an easy ride or watching movies together. Kim values the time she gets to spend in New Zealand when she’s surrounded by her family and the landscape she adores.
