Seoul — South Korea's Kim Yu-Na Tuesday described the judging of the women's figure skating at the Sochi Winter Olympics as "absurd", but said the controversy was behind her following her retirement.
The 2010 Vancouver Olympics champion won silver in Sochi behind Russian skater Adelina Sotnikova despite turning in a characteristically error-free performance.
The result sparked heated debate over whether Kim was robbed of a repeat Olympic gold medal.
"It was all very absurd but I was happy that everything was over," Kim said at an event with fans in Seoul, referring to the judging of her performance in the final competition of her career.
"I have never looked back at the result (since then)," she said.
