Yu-na Falls to Asada

Unexpectedly, Kim Yu-na, Olympic figure skating gold medalist, lost this weekend at the World Championships to her Japanese rival, Mao Asada.


Mao Asada


Apparently, due to the grind of the Olympics, many figure skaters choose to skip the World Championships in an Olympic year. Kim chose to attend and paid by making some costly errors, allowing Masada to overtake her for the first time in quite awhile.

I will surely have to hear about this for the next couple weeks, along with whines of cheating and unfairness. But fear not, Korea. I'm sure this isn't the end of your golden girl.
