In the United States, you have competitions in the winter time, so it added up pretty well to gain as much competition experience as possible.Kim tied Grigoryan in the bronze-medal round and hit a perfect 10.9 to win a win shoot-off to take silver. Grigoryan hit 9.7 on his final shot to earn bronze.I didnt expect to get the silver medal, Kim said through an interpreter. I had the opportunity for bronze and I took it. Joe Ledley Jersey .J.
