Olympic gold medal ladies figure skater Kim Yu-Na of Korea speaks at a news conference at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Friday, Feb. 26, 2010.
Golden Queen Kim Yu-na leads jubilant South Korean team home from Olympics
2 Mar 2010
Olympic gold medalist Kim Yu-na may be the reigning queen of the ice, but her coach Brian Orser says there's one jump she has yet to tackle in competition: the difficult triple axel.
Asked about Orser's secret plan to introduce the jump championed by Japanese rival Mao Asada, Kim raised her eyebrows during a news conference Tuesday at Seoul's Incheon airport.
Women Figure skating gold medallist Kim Yu-na holding a South Korean national flag arrives with the South Korean Winter Olympic team from Vancouver at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, March 2, 2010.
"This is news to me _ are you sure?" the 19-year-old said, turning around at her coach.
Orser, seated a few rows behind her, tried to set the record straight.
"Let me clarify," he said, explaining that Vancouver reporters had asked if there was anything more Kim _ who shattered another world record en route to winning the Olympic gold in figure skating _ could do to improve. "I said that the only way that she could be technically better is to work on the triple axel."
"Oh, OK," Kim said, deftly sidestepping the question. "The technical level that I presented at the Olympics was my best. It's the first time I've finished a program without any mistakes, and I hope to do the same for the upcoming world championships."
Kim led the South Korean team's triumphant return home after the country's most successful Winter Games: 14 medals, six of them gold.
Hundreds jammed the arrivals hall, many staking out a spot hours earlier and holding banners, South Korean flags and flowers. "We're proud of you, Team Korea, for cementing Korea's status in the world. Welcome back!" read one banner.
The parents of speedskater Mo Tae-bum, who won a gold and a silver, carried a colorful banner featuring photos of their son standing on the Olympic podium.
"I was so thrilled when he won the gold medal that I almost fainted," his father Mo Young-yul told reporters. "Our family made this banner. I want to tell Tae-bum that I am really proud of him."
Schoolgirls broke out into shrieks as Kim came through the security doors bearing a South Korean flag, still dressed in her white national uniform.
After celebrating together at the national training center, the athletes planned to have lunch Wednesday with President Lee Myung-bak, who called the Olympic team "a source of pride" for all South Koreans.

Then, it's back to training for Kim Yu-na, who returns to Toronto later that day to prepare for next month's World Championships in Turin, Italy.
"There's always a letdown after the Olympics, so this is going to be a real test for her to get back up again for the World Championships," Orser said.
Kim said she hopes her win _ South Korea's first medal in figure skating _ will inspire a generation of younger skaters.
"I hope they'll be able to overcome their obstacles and that they never give up," she said. "There are always hard times and problems along the way."

The Russian town of Sochi doesn't even have an ice rink. But in four years it will host the next Winter Olympics.
who in switzerland did russian bribe to bring winter olympics to a small town with nothing. IOC is so corrupt.
sochi is an summer resort. the mountain is 50 km away from sochi.
IOC keep telling the sport men and women not to cheat on drug. but the officials of IOC cheat and enrich themselves/their families with bribes.
swiss is most corrupt place on earth and when goh tell us we are getting swiss standard, i think he meant the swiss corruption.

Moscow, Russian Federation (AHN) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev demanded Monday that the country's sports officials resign following Russia's disappointing performance at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
In a televised statement, Medvedev called on officials responsible for the Olympic preparations of the athletes to step down before the government takes action.
Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev called on Russian Olympic officials to resign over the country's poor showing at the Winter Games.
The Russian president did not mention any names in particular.
It was an anticipated reactions considering Russia's reputation as a Winter Olympics powerhouse.
Heading into the 2010 Winter Olympics, Russian officials were reportedly expecting a 30-medal haul and a top three finish at Vancouver.
Instead, the Russian delegation collected just 15 medals, finishing in 11th place for gold medals with three, and sixth in the overall medals table.
It was the lowest ranking garnered in post-Soviet history by the country, which had always finished in the top five in the medal standings.
It owned the podium at the 1994 Games in Lillehammer with 23 medals, including 11 gold medals, but struggled at Salt Lake City in 2002.
Prior to the dismantling of the Soviet Union, the country owned the podium in nine Winter Olympics between 1956 and 1988, except for two instances where it finished runner-up
Russia is slated to host the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.
Medvedev stressed the need to start preparing for the next Winter Olympics, but the results in Vancouver must be taken into account in order to improve the country's performance.

I don't know which station you were watching. Kim was flawless while Mao had 2 errors and it cost her points. News organizations reported why Mao lost. Somewhere in the middle of her program, an under rotation on a jump and an error in her step sequence and it cost her.
Sandra Bezic of NBC rated Kim's performance as one of the best of all time. Under the old scoring system, judges could cast a sympathy vote for Rochette. I am sure you will be seething with anger or frothing in your mouth
As for the red mitten, forget it. It is limited edition. Vancouverites and Canadians complained even before the games, they could not find the red mitten. Thst's my final words .Bye

she did not lose because of her mistakes.
even if mao asada did not make the mistake in the middle of her program, she would still have lost in points to kim. you can add the points of her planned jump to her total score, and still behind.
rochette did got the sympathy vote even under the new system. she deserve it.
AH i want the red mitten.
