Hey, it doesn't have to be Rafael. How about John Nicks? He doesn't have any elite lady skater (assuming Sasha is not competing) and he could do wonders helping Yuna polish her lines, spins and spirals.
Witt gave a piece of advice to Yuna in an interview with Joongang Newspaper. The title of article : To Yuna in Crisis.

The interviewer did not ask about Yuna's recent split with Orser and she did not mention about it.
The interview is mostly about herself... I am impressed by her positive attitude at everything here.
She complimented Yuna's skating and her accomplishment and said,
"The gold medal does not guarantee the life long happiness. Look at all the gold medalists. They had to continue to proceed to accomplish more. So does Yuna. She does not need to hurry but has to keep going on."
Yuna and Witt are competing now in order to host the winter olys in their own country.
Yu-Na Kim spotted training at the Granite Club in Toronto!

ATS just confirmed with a Korean newspaper that Yuna temporarily moved her training ground to Granite Club Toronto. Below is a translation of the article.
Orser did not press her to leave the Cricket Club, so that is not the reason she is training at another rink. The decision comes from her wanting to refresh her mental state (mood) in a different environment. Despite being in the midst of the heat last week, she only took one day off and practiced as usual at the Cricket Club. Orser was on his business trip so no such uncomfortable situation where they bump into each other occurred. Although she were at training as usual, she wasn't her 100% because her mind was still heavy. (so she decided to change the training ground.) No definite plans yet as to when she will leave Cricket Club for good. She will hire a new coach first and then will decide where to move based on that. They currently have multiple candidates for the coaching position and are in the process of contacting them. ATS representative stated "it seems that Orser and Yuna both got into a situation none of them wanted to be. We believe both Yuna and Orser sincerely want to forget about the bad memories and start going forward again."
The other side of that coin is that failure to win the gold does not mean life long sadness. Right now, it appears that Mao is doing very well.

Thanks for the update!
BTW -- did it say anything about Min Jung?
I wonder if her move to Granite Club means that she is looking at Shae Lynn Borne for her coach. That's where she coaches at.
Didn't Shae do the choreo for Yuna's new SP?
So at the least they could be working on that.
Shae is Yuna's choreographer for her SP.
But Shae's also a coach, so it is a possibility that she's one of Yu-Na's choices for a coach and well as a choreographer.
