Anyone been following the Winter Olympics?
Well, regardless, lets put all the curling, skiing, luge and ice hockey aside,
and let me introduce you to a certain figure skater.

Kim Yuna

Yes, she's Korean.

Anybody who follows the sport would know her since she's the reigning world champion,
and pretty much everyone, agrees that she's the best in history.
Anybody who follows Korean shows enough must also have at least seen or heard of
her name at least once.

This princess does everything. She's best in her sport, turning her into a pop icon in Korea, having made so many endorsements, appearing in commercials, made appearances in variety shows, and even sang a duet with SNSD's Taeyeon. No shit, she can sing and dance.

Commercials for Samsung and more...

Appearance on Infinity Challenge, one of Korea's most highly rated variety shows.
Look at how excited MC Yoo is... LOL

Duet with the equally adorable Taeyeon.
I think Taeyeon is her fav singer.

Dancing to Hip Hop

Skating to "Dont Stop The Music"
Rihanna (who was in Korea recently) even thanked her for using the song.

She does all that, and she speaks fluent English.
Is she your ideal girl yet?

By now you must have drawn conclusions that i'm obsessed with this girl or something.
And while that may be true, Kim Yuna opened my eyes to many other sports that are featured in the Winter Olympics. I never tot they would be so entertaining.

Now the ladies figure skating events just started yesterday and news is that Kim Yuna broke the Olympic World Record. I dont have ESPN so all I can do is wait for Channel 5 to show the highlights, then wait for someone to upload it on YouTube.

Meanwhile i shall re-read and re-watch wadever i have posted here.... again and again and again
