Yu-Na Kim News UPDATE!

[os168]

YuNa is a sportsMAN??

Well until the day they consider change or create another word for HIStory to HERstory or even THEIRSTORY

Yeah Yuna is a top Sportsman of 2010

[burntBREAD]

YuNa is a sportsMAN??

Proves that she's breaking gender barriers too! I know ladies who would be preferred to be called "sportsmen" because it doesn't bring gender in to the context since that doesn't matter. I guess it's just all a matter of taste.

Philip Hersh chose Yu-Na as the golden lady of the year! yay!!!!

Women

Gold: Yuna Kim, figure skating, South Korea. Despite the enormous weight of her country's expectations, the most celebrated athlete in South Korea gave her nation the celebration it wanted with breathtaking skating and a runaway victory.

Silver: Lindsey Vonn, alpine skiing, U.S. Not only did she win the Olympic downhill despite a badly bruised shin and the pressure of being the most publicized U.S. athlete, Vonn won a bronze in Super-G; a third straight World Cup overall title; a third straight World Cup downhill title; and 11 Cup races to become the all-time U.S. leader.

Bronze: Wang Meng, short track speedskating, China. The unpredictability of this sport makes it more impressive that Wang, a heavy favorite in the shorter races, won both the Olympic 500 (for the second straight time) and the 1,000 as well as gold in the relay.

I lost a lot of respect for Yuna after the whole Brian Orser firing earlier this year.

Since you brought it up, what do you think of Mao approaching Orser in the first place and Orser’s own account on flirting with the idea? And that was followed by Mao’s “I was shocked to hear such rumor” comedy and JSF’s “We don’t do anything that could be detrimental to Korea-Japan relations” BS.

Mao is not a child and she should be accountable for the contacts made for her coaching arrangement. Imagine what it would have been like if a similar thing had happened between, say, Michelle and Sasha or Irina.

[lowtherlore]

You probably can't say the same about her mom.

Yu-Na said she made the call herself. BTW do you know directly what her mom is like?

[overedge]

oh then do you know something about her mom?

Yes, I do.

sorry

I, too, was so fed up with ppl throwing the same trash in every yuna's thread and I seriously wondered if anyone has something real this time

maybe I should have my coffee and play the violin everytime those things come up


btw, I love your quotation. "This too will pass away." Isn't it Yuna's favorite saying?

[RunnersHigh]

Well until the day they consider change or create another word for HIStory to HERstory or even THEIRSTORY

The word 'herstory' has been created and used to tell women's stories.

The word 'herstory' has been created and used to tell women's stories.

Now we're taking history class in yuna's thread

The word 'man' also means 'person', you know let's just take it easy~

[Shaia]

Merry Christmas!!

A great x-mas video featuring Yuna:

Kim Yu-Na
South Korea, figure skating
Kim won the ladies title at the Vancouver Winter Games, capturing Korea's first Olympic figure skating medal. She did it by earning the highest marks in both the short program (78.50) and the long (150.06), establishing a new record for highest combined score (228.56) since the sport changed to its current scoring tables. Though she trained primarily in Canada, away from the national spotlight, Kim was under enormous pressure to win gold for her country as the reigning world champion and Korea's most recognized and best-compensated athlete. In her free skate in Vancouver, she landed six triple jumps and skated a stunning routine to Gershwin, living up to her nickname "Queen Yu-na."

Some actual footages of Yuna training in LA from a Japanese Tv show?!

How in the world they managed to go inside and video taped her?

The training footage was old from the press conference when Yuna announced her coaching change to Peter Oppegard.

They also used some footage from a public session, which doesn't really count.

These guys have been hanging around EWIP for the past week and were thrown out when shooting the practice session. They have since parked themselves across the street..hence the fuzzy videos of Yuna entering EWIP.

What is it they say..all press is good press, as long as they spell your name correctly?

I find it fascinating that Japanese TV is keeping the Yuna/Mao flames burning.

Yeah..but it's kinda' weird, especially when Yuna was just doing her strength training.

Well, we have 2/3 months before the Worlds!
