“Figure skating genius,” was the verdict of the JoongAng Ilbo newspaper, while the biggest circulation daily, Chosun Ilbo, predicted that she could “rewrite the history of South Korean figure skating”.
That history is currently dominated by Kim Yu-Na, the former Olympic and double world champion who was on hand to witness You’s performance.
“She is even better than I was,” said Kim, who won her first national championship at the age of 12.
“I think her skills will improve further if she takes care and avoids injuries,” said Kim, who remains one of South Korea’s most admired sports personalities following her retirement after the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
