Kim has been one of rowing’s most consistent international performers in recent years and her crowning moment was winning gold in the women’s single sculls at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

The 31-year-old’s victory was the first time Australia had won an Olympic women’s sculling gold medal and Australia’s second-ever female Olympic rowing gold medal. Kim is a true leader, sitting on the rowing team’s leadership group, Rowing Australia Athletes’ Commission and the Australian Olympic Council’s Athletes’ Commission.
