There is a past olys champ name Kristi who had the guts to compete and defended her world title too. So she won worlds, then olys and defended her world title. I won't call the other olys champ who chose not to show up at worlds after olys as "not having guts". They set goals for olys gold, acomplished it and moved on. OTOH, anyone who makes a committment for a competition should try their best to prepare, if they show up at a comp unprepared, what is the point? There are plenty of skaters from their country who want to have a chance at worlds, so if any olys champ who are not committed to the harsh training in between olys and worlds, they should go to Disney land, do dancing with the stars
Tell that to the rabid Korean media. If Yuna didn't paritipate, even though she said yes, and then because she was unprepared, can you imagine the backlash back home? And not to mention the crazy South Korean netizens who gave her messages of condolence one time. She had no choice. She had to fight back and finished it, no matter what.
Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm aware of Kristi.
