Yuna Kim

Congratulations! Yuna Kim, South Korea's star figure skater and reigning world champion, won the short program today, beating her rival Mao Asada of Japan. I heard the cheers through my windows as Koreans around the city erupted the moment she finished skating (and that was how I knew it, as I wasn't watching--no tv/cable--but rather tuning into the official Olympics internet site). Kind of a cool moment. Of course I talked about it in classes today with my students:)


The free skate/long program is yet to come. Good luck to her!
