A new star in figure skating



Well done, Yuna Kim!
After Michelle Wie represented Korea's pride in the golf sport (although she plays for the USA - but Koreans still regard her as their own), this country now boasts another world-class athlete: Yuna Kim, just 17 years old, was the first Korean (and skating for Korea) to win the prestigious Skate America Grand Prix this year.
Americans, Russians, Japanese: Beware! Competition from Korea is serious. Once Koreans found enthusiasm in something, they won't be easy to keep off.
