This is a good thing, right?
I'm looking forward to seeing her under any circumstances whatsoever. Points, no points...even skating without music would be fine with me. Go for it, YuNa!

Happy wishes to Yuna
I'm excited!!!Good luck Yuna!
According to the Korean Media, she'll be executing jumps as same as she did at the Olympics.(no triple axel)
It also said the program won't be watered down like many of skaters in the competition today!

can't wait to see her on the ice
This is SO good!According to the Korean Media, she'll be executing jumps as same as she did at the Olympics.(no triple axel)

can't wait to see her on the iceSo, 3Lz+3T in both SP and FS? She will be (I think) the oldest this season to land it!
Has she ever done triple axel? And if she is anywhere near as good as she was in Vancouver she should be the favorite for the world title.
Sorry, the source isn't credible because it's not Yu-Na or her agency speaking on her behalf. What you posted is also misleading. Yu-Na won't be doing the exact same jumps as she did at the Olympics because the rules won't allow her to. Yu-Na hasn't said anything about what her jumps will be.According to the Korean Media, she'll be executing jumps as same as she did at the Olympics.(no triple axel)

However, Yu-Na already landed triple lutzes, salchows, and toeloops in her summer show (she has never included flips in exhibitions, so not a big deal there), so you can logically conclude that she'll be attempting likely 3 lutzes across the SP and the FS. Her layout, if she goes for the 3/3, will probably be the same as 2011 Worlds, and yes, that's pretty challenging, but again, this isn't confirmed.
If Yu-na waltzes onto the ice after a two-year break and hits a triple Lutz /triple toe I for one will
Ahh i see your point, i was just so excited to hear her coming back and when i saw this article i thought it was credible. I thought the guy/girl who commented were her coaches but when i read it again, it seems more like skating committee who said it. But either way, i hope she delivers what she accomplished in the olympics or the worlds
At this point I'm just happy to see she might be back on the ice competing. Not too concerned about what jumps she's throwing at the moment because she still has training time. It's more important, I think, to get her competitive legs under her again. I wish her luck. She's beautiful to watch on the ice.
As I recall, she abandoned the attempt to perfect a triple axel because it was the jump that most hurt her back. There was certainly no need for her to have one, considering her arsenal of huge jumps and combinations. All of which I hope she still has so that we can enjoy watching them!
Like Olympia said, it hurt her back very much. However, she did try to attempt it since Mao had triple axel.
Here's a video of Kim attempting triple axel, the second jump (around ~11 sec)

Ditto plus one. I love the fact that the event sold out in six hours.....seeing her live at SA Lake Placid was a real high for me....there were lots of great skaters at that event.....
