I don't know much about figure skating but one thing I do know is that a young South Korean lass by the name of Kim Yu Na is expected to be crowned queen of her sports for the winter Olympics in Canada. Before the winter games, this willowy 19-year old has already won a lot of accolades in figure skating and is already a major celebrity and cultural icon in her country. In a few hours time, we would know whether she will be the first South Korean to win gold in this discipline.
I have seen videos of her in action, and indeed Yu Na seems to own the skating rink with her gracefulness, elegance as well as technical precision. Well, we will know soon if she manages to blow her competition away to take on the mantle of Goddess on Ice.
