Kim Yu-na, she's born in September 8, 1990.
She is the 2007 & 2008 World bronze medalist, the two time Grand Prix Final Champion, and the 2006 World Junior Champion. Moreover, she holds the world record for both short and free skating programs under the ISU Judging System.
In Korea, Figure-skating is not a popular sport as Japan and U.S., so there was no famous skater. However, with a brilliant talent and an unyielding will, Kim Yu-na becomes the best skater in the world. I have no hesitation to say "the best" because she is. (If you want to make sure, search for videos of some other skaters. You will know how outstanding Yu-na is.)
She's got everything to be the top skater. Her techniques are great in every part of a program, especially jumps and spins. In addition, she dances to music so well that she doesn't look like an athlete but a ballerina. Compared to some other skaters performing their programs that make me wonder why music is needed there(for there are just jumps and prepartion for jumps), she expresses the overwhelming beauty.
A thousand hearings are not worth one seeing! I'm uploading the videos of her programs.
The former two are my favorite video of her program, "Tango de Roxane". I upload as two versions, one of which is in a clear view, and the other in English. She was 16 when she performed it, and she made a new world record with it(!) The music, the choreography, techinques, expressions... Everything is so perfect. I've seen this video for more than 100 times, literally. It's brilliant, just watch it.
And the latter two are the latest programs of hers which were done in October 26, 27. Both are so great that I am so looking forward to this season. I have no doubt that she will win the Grand Prix Final Champion as she's done for years.
