Life Story - Main Highlights
Born and raised in an ordinary family, Nam started fencing in 1995 at age 13 after entering Seong Nam female high school. Petite but spunky Nam has won over many fans with her true grit; pitting and winning against many bigger and more experienced opponents.
Although facing an emotionally difficult period from her mom’s cancer several years ago, she managed to overcome it and win the Korean Female Individual Competition for 5 consecutive years, the 2006 Asian Games Gold medal, and most recently the Silver medal at the Beijing Olympics 2008.
Her dream is to build a “Nam Hyun Hee’s Fencing Club” after achieving her aim of winning the Gold medal in the 2012 London Olympic Games.
