I know I am not the only one but I would so love to see this mature version of Yuna Kim skate her Lark Ascending program again even if it was an abbreviated, exhibition performance. Youtube would blow up!
Yuna is presenting olympic torch
It was so great to see her with the torch! :luv17:
I hope it is an indication that she will be the one to light the Olympic flame:yay:
5000th POST!!!!!! All because of you Ms Kim!!!!
Pure gold... heart of gold!!
GANGNEUNG, South Korea -- The one-year countdown to the Pyeongchang Games began Thursday with Yuna Kim revealing the Olympic torch and organizers opening online ticket reservations.
South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn and an International Olympic Committee delegation led by Gunilla Lindberg, who heads the IOC's coordination commission for the Games, also attended the ceremony in Gangneung, which will host the ice sports events in 2017.
"I am convinced that the Pyeongchang Olympics will be a success," Hwang said in a speech at the ceremony. "I believe in the great strength of our people who have successfully hosted international events like the 1988 Olympics and 2002 World Cup."
Kim, a figure skating gold medalist who is perhaps the country's most popular sports personality even in retirement, carried the white-and-gold Olympic torch onto a stage built over ice as a group of pop singers sang "We Are the Champions," highlighting an event that also included a video message from IOC president Thomas Bach.
"It is my great pleasure to invite the national Olympic committees of the world and their athletes to participate in the Olympic Winter Games Pyeongchang 2018," Bach said in the message.
:sad46:I tear up a little thinking about it, haha. Lark Ascending was one of THE best senior debut LPs of all time. It was never clean, and Yuna didn't have the polish of her later career, but it was this perfect depiction of a fledgling bird taking its first flights. I remember just seeing this willowy girl in an icy blue-white dress skating to heavenly music and being completely mesmerized. It's an image that still sticks with me even over Yuna's later masterpieces like Gershwin and Les Mis.
Geez, every time I visit this thread I get all nostalgic and emotional!
