Woo Hee-jun has been a beauty pageant queen and a first lieutenant in the South Korean army, but her first love will always be the ancient Indian sport of kabaddi.
Woo has packed a lot of experience into her 29 years and now she is hoping to break more ground by helping her country win a kabaddi medal at the Asian Games.
"I think kabaddi for me is like a path," she said after Korea started their campaign in Hangzhou with a 43-23 loss to Thailand on Monday. Raiders are only allowed to take one breath and must constantly chant"kabaddi, kabaddi" to prove they are not using more than one puff. "It's not like it's super-popular like soccer or baseball or whatever but it's getting more popular compared with previous times," she said.
