Kim Yu-Na breaks her own world record to win Olympic gold
February 27th, 2010 by adamgn
Enough has been written about Kim Yu-Na’s performance today, so I’ll keep it brief.
It was amazing.
On Tuesday, she broke the world record for the short program (she held the previous record) and today she broke the world record for the free skate (she held the previous record). But she didn’t just break records, she demolished them.
Her total score of 228.56 was 18.5 points ahead of her previous record and 23 points ahead of her second place rival, Asada Mao.
One of my favorite expat bloggers in Korea has a great write-up here.
Here’s the video. (I know the quality is awful, but the IOC/NBC won’t let anyone post good quality.)
