Yu Na Kim is known for her excellent jump technique. She hasn't had any UR call until this year's 'Cup of China'. But is she really that good or are technical controllers simply turned a blind because of her reputation?
Let's take a look at some of the slow-motions of some of her recent performances:
2008 World championship SP, 4'35 slow-mo, 3lutz badly UR, fell, no call

2008 Skate America LP 3flip+3toe, 3toe was obviously underrotated, slow-mo(>1/4 ), no UR call from technical controller

2008 Skate America SP 3flip+3toe, it's even worse. 3toe was horribly underrotated(almost 1 full turn), no UR call as well!

2008 Cup of China SP 3lutz UR, finally caught by technical controller!
