    Kim sets new standard in ladies short at worlds
    Rochette second; Asada nine points off the lead


    By Lynn Rutherford, special to icenetwork.com
    (03/27/2009) - Most everybody expected the ladies' event to be yet another showdown between Yu-Na Kim and Mao Asada, with the usual suspects playing supporting roles.

    Not so fast. While Kim played leading lady to perfection with a sublime performance to Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre," Asada doubled her triple Lutz and sits third, some nine points off the lead.

    "I think this was one of those moments people will always remember, especially those judges," said Brian Orser, the two-time Canadian Olympic silver medalist who coaches Kim in Toronto.


    "Everything came together at the right time. Yu Na beat her [personal best] score by four points. When you get to the world championships, the level of everything comes up. She's trained so well and on this stage every gesture just gets better."

    Kim, who placed third behind Asada and Carolina Kostner last season, skated like liquid gold. She opened with a high-flying triple flip, triple toe loop combination and triple Lutz, followed by a superb spiral sequence and three other Level 4 elements.

    "Two years ago at my first world championships, I did my personal best short program but not so well in the long program," she said. "Now I just want to do well in the long program tomorrow."

    The 18-year-old, who hails from Gunpo City, was buoyed by the many Korean fans in the crowd.

    "With a lot of Koreans in the audience today, I was very comfortable when skating," she said. "I feel I was able to do well because of all the people cheering for me out there."

    Canadian champion Joannie Rochette, whose highest worlds' finish in six trips was fifth place last season, earned a personal best 67.90 that landed her in second place.

    Rochette did not attempt a triple-triple combination, opting for a relatively safe triple Lutz, double toe. But her performance quality shone through, and her program components' score was second only to Kim's.

    "I feel confident for the long program and I'm anxious to come back tomorrow," she said. "The free program is my strength. When I first started I didn't feel completely on, but when I landed my flip I could enjoy myself."

    Asada opened her program, set to the Debussy's lilting "Clair de Lune," with a sterling triple flip, triple loop, but a shaky double Lutz, instead of her usual triple, cost her dearly. While her 66.06 was still a season best, today it wasn't good enough.

    "One of my goals in the first half was to complete the triple-triple," she said. "I was satisfied about that, but for the second half I was not able to do my best, so I'm not satisfied. Tomorrow I would like to skate with no misses."

    Asada and Kim have been rivals since their junior days, with the Japanese champion capturing the world junior crown in 2005 and Kim returning the favor a year later. Last season, Asada came out on top at worlds while Kim, somewhat limited by a back injury, placed third.

    The two have split their two meetings so far this season, with Asada capturing the Grand Prix Final in December and Kim winning Four Continents.

    2007 world champion Miki Ando sits fourth despite having her opening triple flip-triple loop combination downgraded by the technical panel. She earned 64.12 points.

    European champion Kostner was a bit off her game, leaning forward on her opening triple flip and double-footing the landing of her solo triple Lutz. Her 63.18 points put her fifth.

    U.S. silver medalist Rachael Flatt had a season-best outing to "Moon River" slightly marred by a step-out on her triple flip. The 16-year-old honors student did some quick thinking, adding on a double toe to her triple Lutz and ending up seventh with 59.30 points.

    "I'm disappointed with how the combination came out; aside from that, it was a good program," she said. "I let it go pretty much as soon as it happened. I knew I needed a combination in, so I just tacked it on to the triple Lutz."

    After starting well with a solid triple Lutz, double toe combination, U.S. champion Alissa Czisny fell on both her triple flip and double Axel attempts, landing in 14th place with 53.28 points.

    "Today was disappointing because it's not the way I've been practicing," Czisny said. "I guess I had higher expectations of myself and today it just didn't happen.

    "The first jump was pretty good. I was comfortable going into the second jump and got tight after that. I wasn't expecting to fall."

    Barring calamities to many of the top-placed skaters, the U.S. will get only two ladies' spots for the upcoming Olympic Games. To earn three, the placements cannot equal more than 13.

    "Everybody keeps reminding me and I can't think about that because I can't control the outcome," Czisny said.

    Cashing in on Kim Yu-na's fame



    Disgruntled fans of Korean figure skater Kim Yu-na are lashing out at attempts to use her po****rity to draw public attention.

    Just a day after Kim claimed the world championship title in Los Angeles, Korea University published an advertisement in a local daily with the photo of a tearful Kim on the podium, saying "Korea University, which has been rearing the nation's talent, has given birth to a world leader."

    Kim, who graduated from Suri High School in Gunpo, Gyeonggi Province, in February this year, is currently enrolled at Korea University, but has been unable to attend the school as she trains in Toronto, Canada.

    Since the release of the ad, hundreds of internet users have been posting comments on the Web criticizing the school's attempt to claim Kim's success as its own.

    http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/NEWKHSI...0904010006.gif
    http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/NEWKHSI...0904010007.gif


    An anonymous university official told The Korea Herald that the controversial ad is no more than an ad, and it could be interpreted as the school's congratulatory message for Kim's success.

    A person with the ID "rosesia" wrote, "How can Korea University make such a claim, when even Suri High School stays quiet?" Another person with the ID "bsh4012" pointed out that the university is absurdly pretending Kim's gold medal is the fruit of its own effort. A Korea University graduate, who requested anonymity, said, "It is shameful how the school tries to use her fame for its own benefit when she is not even taking any classes."

    Also under reproach is the ruling Grand National Party, which has posted a photoshopped image on the party website showing its leader Park Hee-tae gliding on the ice next to Kim Yu-na.

    Park wrote on the posting that just as Kim thrilled the nation by becoming the world's No.1 figure skater, the GNP will follow suit and "conquer the world."

    Recently, the ruling party has released parodies of various sports and entertainment figures on its website, some of which have come under attacks by internet users for their alleged frivolousness.

    A person with the ID "ppotto" questioned whether the party is not violating Kim's rights of publicity to use her photograph. An office worker in Seoul also said, on the condition of anonymity, "It is disgraceful that the so-called ruling party of Korea is putting these up on the Web when they have tons of other things to do in this economic situation." Another fan of the figure star said "Kim Yu-na is our national treasure. For these GNP politicians to paste their images next to Yu-na for political gain is visually improper."

    However, some internet users pointed out it is nothing but a "parody" and that people should not overreact.

    Earlier in Los Angeles, some dozen Korean officials from the municipal government of Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, reportedly occupied the front row at a World Figure Skating Championships press conference on Sunday, and asked Kim whether she plans to participate in the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships scheduled to be held in Jeonju next February.

    Kim said no, taking into consideration the Olympics. To the participants' dismay, a local daily reporter who accompanied these officials reportedly even suggested to Kim that it would be better if she accomplished such a feat in an event held in Korea, not overseas.

    Some argue that no harm was intended, but this series of PR mishaps have definitely left fans of the figure phenom grimacing.

    Yu-Na Kim reveals that she feels burdened by the heated
    rivalry-promoting journalism


    Figure skating's Yu-Na Kim reflected on a perfect season. About the topic of Mao Asada, she revealed that she feels burdened by the heated rivalry-promoting journalism.

    At this season's World Championships, Yu-Na Kim set a world record score, and with a splendid win, she ascended to the throne of World queen.

    Yu-Na Kim polished her famed power of expression, and it became a season of fulfillment.

    Yu-Na Kim said, "I think both my short and free programs leave a strong impression. I used heavy make-up, even making my eyes looking like they were glaring, and I think that made it more impressive."

    In addition, about Mao Asada, her greatest rival heading into the Olympics, she said that the inflammatory media surrounding them is a burden.

    Yu-Na Kim said, "I feel that way now, but I wonder what Mao Asada thinks…this sort of thing, is kind of unpleasant."

    Yu-Na - pregatita de inceperea noului sezon:
    http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-b...0091014it.html
    Kim, meanwhile, will perform her new short program to a medley from James Bond movies.

    Kim, who trains with Brian Orser in Toronto, was quoted in South Korea's Chosun Ilbo as saying she is excited and looking forward to the new campaign.

    "I think I'm better prepared now compared to a year ago both physically and technically," she said.

    mi-a placut programul ei, parca numai e acea fetita inocenta, mi se pare ca s-a maturizat, mi se pare chiar si mai inalta
    Adevaratul erou nu este perfect. Adevaratul test al unui campion nu este daca poate triumfa, ci daca poate trece obstacolele - preferabil cele create chiar de el - pentru a triumfa...

    Ice queen Kim has Olympic gold in her eyes

    http://www.ctvolympics.ca/figure-ska...l?cid=PULSE_TW

    O scurta traducere a lucrurilor spuse de Yu-na:

    Visul olimpic

    "Ma uit la Olimpiada inca din 1998 si visez de atunci sa fiu si eu acolo". La Torino nu am putut merge din cauza varstei. Insa acum pot sa merg in sfarsit la Olimpiada si sa-mi implinesc visul".

    Ceea ce spune despre Brian Orser:

    "Cand l-am intalnit pe Brian, eram foarte timida, dar de-a lungul timpului, luand parte la multe competitii personalitatea mea s-a schimbat si am devenit o cu totul alta persoana."

    Ceea ce spune despre programele din sezonul acesta:

    "In ultimii ani am patinat pe o muzica cu poveste. Dar de aceasta data incerc sa creez eu o poveste. Coregraful meu, David Wilson, a sugerat 007.
    Cand am ascultat prima data melodia mi-am zis ca asta e cu adevarat ceva total diferit. Nu e o muzica pe care sa o aleaga de obicei fetele. Dar sunt foarte multumita de alegere."


    "In timpul verii am incercat sa imbunatatesc unele lucruri. Acesta e sezonul olimpic. Am ceva emotii, dar dupa cele intamplate sezonul trecut sunt increzatoare."
