Yuna is a graduate student majoring in physical education at Korea University. She is a honorary ambassador for lots of organizations I can’t even name. Government likes to use Yuna to promote its goal. She is doing lots of endorsements for major companies. Her mother is CEO of ATS sports agency. I think she could help her. I hope someday Korean laws allows her to own her ice rink. ISU, KSU or whatever do not deserve to have her in. They do not appreciate Yuna. Why she should be a coach? She has other things to do. She even have her own ice show. KSU can't even touch her. But I heard Yuna is helping many Korean skaters in TaeReung(ice rink for national teams). She often go there to practice. She pays heating bills for figure skaters in TR.
I'm not sure but I heard that an individual cannot have its ice rink.
In case he or she has built its ice rink, it automatically belongs to Local government.
They even didn't allow her to have Sub rink to practice. Yuna have been asked them to have a rink just for practice for years.
But I guess Local Government want to make money from it. They only want to borrow her name in making huge ice rink.
They constantly changes their promises. Poor yuna KSU just love speed skating I guess.
I share the sentiment with your skaterr (isu ksu whatever did not deserve Yuna, heck ISU actually wanna yuna to retire and KSU just wanna Yuna to earn spots...).
I was reading the NHK thread, i read a comment something like this "the world waited patiently for Carolina (to reach her potential)". And of course for Mao, she will forever to have Japanese fans to hold her up.
i cannot help but feel gutted for Yuna.
Her comeback was never welcomed by ISU or the media, from the scores she gets in 2014 quad to media's generic commentary to her actually much more matured and artistic push-bondory art piece.
However, in people's mind, in figure skating fans mind, Yuna is dearly missed. according to David Wilson in that documentary "everybody in figure skating is soooo happy she is back. ..people havent seen her in a while but everyone was like aouww, so fabulous...."
Yuna has a huge fandom in Korea. Yuna fandom is so big that KSU is very careful not to get on fans' nerves. There are not much figure fans in Korea, but she is a Star.The public love Yuna. Many korean fans knew what she had been through. Many fans can't speak english well including me too bad We don't have that much history in figure skating like Japan though.
...And so it brings me to perhaps the one that compares most in terms of bringing the the jumps and the performance together - Yuna Kim's Olympics win in 2010. Everything about Kim's dominance in Vancouver was incredible - her 23-point margin of victory, her exceptional technical showcase (lack of triple loop is the most obvious omission), and her delivery of both programs. The free skate and total marks she achieved in Vancouver still stand.
To me, the pressure and intensity of the situation is what pulls Kim's Olympics in line with Hanyu's NHK and perhaps surpasses it by just a bit. But for me, Hanyu's NHK performance is the best ever in the men's event.
Her comeback was never welcomed by ISU or the media
I think that's what made her comeback so exciting and amazing at the same time (IMO). It shows her true grit and mad fighting spirit. Sure, the comeback-love would've been nice but her decimating the field and figuratively slapping everyone in the face for not believing in her made the comeback so much sweeter.
Yuna's sochi experience however, is really unique in the way that, although she is the one to beat on paper(since she is the reigning world champion at the time). but in reality, nobody (except for her countrymen) wanted she to win.
Yuna at Vancouver, everybody expected she to win, although it is huge pressure on itself, but also, everyone(except for team Mao) is on Yuna's side.
I cannot decide which one is more impactful, but those are certainly completely different obstacles Yuna has to conquer at different time.
I really wish that, there will be a documentary about Yuna's sochi experience, maybe after several years of regurgitation of the whole thing.
From what I’ve heard in Korean figure fan site, infamous Dispatch yellow media had waited to reveal Yuna scandal to damage her images after Sochi. They had already planned a scenario to bash her. The reason she had failed to win a gold medal was she had been busy seeing her boyfriend. If she hadn’t done clean program, that scenario would have worked. It is so scary. Yuna fans are still talking about this. There are some people not happy about her fame and fortune.
