Orser said "I hope Yu-Na to be happy. After yesterday's competition, I asked her if she was happy. She said yes. After hearing that, I also felt happy." and he smiled.

He says that Yuna put the gold medal around Orser/Wilson's neck and hugged them.
She thanked them and cried. Nice olympic moment
Post World news:
"Kim will arrive in Korea on Wednesday afternoon (Korean time) to shoot some television commercials and prepare for an ice show scheduled for April 16 to 18. She plans to return to her training base in Toronto in May or June."

There's still a possibility that she will NOT retire!
No one knows. I am dreaming of what numbers Wilson will come up for her next year. And I am hoping she will continue to skate.
Kim Yeon-ah said “It looks like I won’t have time to get a driving license so I would like to eat delicious things without limit till my belly busts” and she cause laughter when she added “Don’t say anything even if I gain weight.”
I didn't think she would retire. She would miss skating too much and would regret her decision later on.
I want her to do a tango next! Maybe a more mature version of Tango de Roxanne, as she was only 16when she performed it.
I think some of you misunderstand YuNa's motivations...I don't think she enjoys competing. She stayed for so long because she wanted that Olympic Gold and wanted to prove, perhaps to herself, her fans and to the world that she could pull it off, but it is very possible she will leave competitive skating for good after this season. Even if she does come back to train and see how it's like this summer...she may abort.
I highly doubt that she is dreaming of the thought of beating Mao in Japan or any of that; I don't think she really cares for that sort of thing and she doesn't seem to relish having a lot of pressure on her.
I don't feel that I can ask anything more of her, as her fan. She has had to give up so much for so long. A normal childhood is gone. Perhaps even a normal rest-of-her-life. I want most for her to be happy and to enjoy her life.
I also wouldn't call it an OGM "hit and run" strategy, at all. How many other young skaters have spent a big chunk of their suspended adolescence living in a foreign-language country away from friends and family? Many people don't seem to be able to imagine the sense of alienation and loneliness that kind of life brings.
