and what amazes me the most is that she still is only 19, so her only "maybe sort of weakspot", the charisma, will grow even more by the years. not to speak of the ease and certainty with which she performes her jumps, i guess she will show triple axels and quads in the future aswell... 228.... thats like flash reaching 2450 elo.....unbelievable. even though i was rooting for the european girls, she really made a fan tonight. | ||

 She was magnificent tonight! I also thought Asada was ridiculously good as well, if it weren't for those itty bitty mistakes!  Was cheering for both tonight, Kim and Asada - Glad my country won the gold but at the same time I really think Asada was just a hair short | ||

It's because the ISU replaced the old 6.0 system back in 2004, so the records aren't really mature yet. | ||

From what I remember, they asked her what she thought of her making the sport even more popular in her home country, and she said that she was happy to have done it? I'm apparently really bad at short-term memory tonight, so someone else will probably correct me :p | ||

She was definitely the Queen tonight. Despite the tremendous pressure on her (I know how much Korean media likes to hype a top athlete, and how badly the media trashes that same athlete if he/she fails to live up to expectations - most of the time, of course, 1st place or gold), she handled herself extremely well in both her short and free programs, what a performance, I'm only a mild fan of figure skating (hockey is my favourite winter olympics sport) but I'm the biggest fan of Yuna and tonight was a great night to be a Yuna fan. Kudos to other women's performers too though, I thought the last 5 skaters of tonight's program all did a very good job. | ||
