Yuna Kim

[Kara]

I pray everyday she'll do Homage to Korea.:sad21: It's too glorious of a program to be shut away forever and it's the home Olympics! I don't even care about the jumps, she can just do doubles or singles and I'd be happy to see her on the ice and do that spiral on that moment.

 

[OS]

Yuna has not repeated a program in her entire career other than El Tango from Junior to Senior transition program.

I am kind of greedy, but I would love to see something new that is totally Yuna and remind us why we fell in love with figure skating and her in the first place. Not to do with the scoring but have everything to do with what she can bring to the ice that made her unique, special and simply irreplaceable.

But on the other hand, I shouldn't be so greedy... so everything is fine with me

She has said in an interview recently that she hasn't been skating since she retired so it would be really difficult for her to skate a gala or something. That wasn't the exact words, and it was translated from Korean, so I don't know... But as always, she looked done with skating. I don't think she will skate at the Olympics at all. Too much pressure, even without jumps.
Honestly, I try to accept the fact that we may never see her skate again. And I'm ok with it, although it is a bit sad. But she deserves to rest. She deserves to have a more calm life, without the pressure of skating.
So I'm ok if she doesn't put on the skates at this OG.
Now, one thing I'll be really surprised if it doesn't happen is if she is not the one awarding the medals in the ladies event. And yes, I want her to give the medals not the flowers! Then we would have interesting and cute photos of her and the medalists interacting. [emoji7] I'd also love to see her in the Men's ceremony as well, but that's probably a long shot.

Yeah, and if she falters, I won't be shocked if her critics ream her for not being perfect *yet again*. -_- And the pressure for doing a good gala for her country's pride, again, too! I think she won't, and it's fine. Time to think of yourself at some point. And she's done more than enough for the home Olympics.

Crossing my fingers that she'll do like her idol Michelle Kwan: rediscover her love for skating and start doing triples again at the age of 37.

What a boss!! Hopefully Yuna will feel less pressure when she is 37 and show us some triples (or even just skating, please!!) too. :luv17:

Anoter commercial for SK Telecom, with Dabin, the sport this time? Figure skating with Yuna on ice, just couple of seconds yet I'm emotional :sad4: https://twitter.com/Sanhocho/status/947118353956478976

Watching Yuna's exhibition performance uploaded by the Olympic channel on Youtube... I realised that she is perhaps the only skater who didn't even need to do anything flashy while skating. Just her and the ice. Her presence is enough to make it special.

 

[Miss Ice]

^^ Agreed.

Also, looks like Yuna has a little fan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsfwQAdFp88 Is it just me or does anyone think that bits of her choreo and her dress really give a tribute to the Queen? :luv17:

Found that online. Can someone please translate?

Yup not obvius at all

 

[Miss Ice]

Also, I thought that out all of Yuna's phenomenal competition costumes, her Les Mis costume is really a piece of art. It really speaks to the music piece while being elegant and ethereal at the same time, without any hint of being tacky.

 

[matmuh]

The Queen is trying curling this time :luv17:

Edit: and seems like she was on TV, any idea what they are talking about?

 

[chopinskate]

This is old, but boy would she rather be doing anything else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhioK3-CVv0

Ahh, thanks for posting, I haven't seem this before! Yuna's expression at 1:14 is soooo cute!!!

Also, the ski Olympian was like... "Yuna Kim made this? *blush*"

This is the most adorable thing EVER :luv17:

Tofu!!???
How many people shared those straws drink all out of the same mug?!
haha taste like gold (Good for you Eric)

 

[Imagine]

My god is that lady annoying. Not even Yuna can hide it.

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Why did that lady make Yuna do all the work

I'd much rather see her do the work and then for Yuna to be the one to share the smoothie with me

 

[chopinskate]

My god is that lady annoying. Not even Yuna can hide it.

Also, smoothie? Really? Yuna just said that you should eat whatever you like! I mean, that's probably going to wash right off after practice, anyway, so you need energy, right?

And then she said smoothies make sense before practice to avoid awkwardness.

 

[matmuh]

this time i present to you Yuna: The Speed Skater this might be my favourite yet, that smirk at 19s :luv17: and her fall at beginning ahhh i love her
