"Figure Queen" Yuna Kim - Inconvenient Truth

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 12:29:48 -0500

**Some English in the video** Originally uploaded to a Japanese video sharing site, created by another anonymous user. This video is a very cynical but fair criticism of Yuna Kim, Brian Orser and a Korean TV who won’t admit/recognize Kim's obvious out-edge lutz jump and its under-rotation. Much worse, they blame judges for the recent downgrade on that, and also insult other skaters for their pre-rotation, which is, by nature, inevitable for all jumps to some degrees and especially for the second loop jumps. Before these serious violation of sportsmanship, Kim's concealing her imitation of Michelle Kwan is a cute minor issue. As Kim was boosted by high GOEs and little downgrades in recent years, she and Orser, in turn, came to appeal "unfairness" of judges when right marks were given. Kim's shaking the head in Kiss & [K]ry has been notorious, too. "Figure Queen" in the title is the name of the program aired in Korea. See also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoW22Ag1YR8
