Yu-Na Kim 5

I had the great privilege of seeing Yu-Na Kim live at the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships, where she trounced the field by 16 points and set world records in the short program and for her overall total. Her speed, her jumps, her flow, her panache, her expression, are all simply magnificent. If only she could improve her flexibility and positions in the spiral sequence, she would be close to perfection.
