In the history of table tennis, Kim Song-i is one of the names the record keeps returning to.
The record lists Kim Song-i as North Korean table tennis player.
Kim Song-i was born at Pyongchon-guyok in 1994. Her recorded nationality is North Korea.
Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.
She competed at table tennis at the 2016 Summer Olympics – women's singles.
Sport records everything, which means a reputation there is harder to inflate than almost anywhere else.
That the career was built from North Korea matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Kim Song-i is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
