does the Korean federation sponsor some of the expenses?
I hope the text in the picture dosen't mean she will skate to the Phantom of the oppera. I kinda had enough of it last season, and Kiira is keeping her FS... oh dear...
But anyway, goog luck for Kim .
A question for the technical bunch - is it common to start training for the Olympics this far out?
Well they are preparing her to be Natioanls Champion, World Champion, GPF champion. All of that plays towards being a favorite at the olympics. No, of course it is not to early to start thinking about the olympics.
A question for the technical bunch - is it common to start training for the Olympics this far out? Historically, who has used this stragedy and what were their results?
KW - was that an intentional misspelling?! I liked it!!

Oh no! I simply cannot spell! But I'm glad you enjoyed it...
Yeah, the first article (was it in IFS?) that introduced Yu-na to the western world a couple of years ago presented her in that way. I'm sure she was homesick and shy when she first came to Canada at 13, and as we know all elite skaters have gruelling training schedules and not so much time for fun as other teenagers.SInce my first exposure to Kim was an article about the brutal schedule she was keeping along with her homesickness and those incredibly beautiful but somewhat sad eyes of hers...
I loved it: Stragedy: a strategy that is doomed to failure and will end in tragedy!
