GARLIC GIRLS. The real rock stars of the PyeongChang Olympics were a humble group of curlers who had no idea they’d become a global sensation. They are known
as the “Garlic Girls,” the South Korean women’s curling team with the fairytale story whose moniker reflects the locally famed garlic grown in their hometown. The wildly
skilled underdogs came into the Olympics ranked eighth in the world and went on to crush curling heavyweights including Canada and Sweden on their way to winning a sil-
ver medal. They are cute and comical, referring to themselves by quirky nicknames such as “Pancake” and “Steak.” Two teammates are sisters and all are longtime friends,
creating irresistible chemistry on the ice. Kim Eun-jung (pictured), the team’s “skip,” or captain, has a steely gaze and funky, owl-eyed glasses that have become fodder for
endless internet memes. To learn more about the Garlic Girls, see page 5. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)
