(The New York Times) Kim Sets a Skating Record and Wins Her First World Title
"More than an hour after Kim Yu-na won the world figure skating championship Saturday, she remained on the ice here, skating laps around the arena with a South Korean flag wrapped around her body.
She stopped to sign autographs and pose for photographs with her fans, many from the large Korean community here. She doled out high-fives. But most of all, she soaked in the moment.
For the past two world championships, the best Kim could do was third place. But this time, she did not let that happen. And there was not much of a chance that it would.
For the second night in a row, Kim performed yet another elegant, seemingly effortless routine that enthralled the crowd — and the judges.
After her long program Saturday, she earned a total score of 207.71 points — the first time a female skater has broken the 200-point mark. Less than one year before the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the 18-year-old Kim dominated the world championships by more than 16 points.
“I don’t think about the points,” she said afterward, sparkling in her red rhinestone-accented dress. “Being the world champion was my dream and I did it here, so this is just amazing.”...(중략)...
Kim could not ask for much more, either.
She grinned when she landed some jumps during her long program. For others, she let her mouth fall open in amazement.
She aborted one triple jump, then also missed one of her spins, receiving zero points for it. But the rest of her program was performed with such ease, she looked as if she were dancing on a stage in ballet slippers — not skating on a slick sheet of ice.
Her short program Friday was just as breathtaking. It was virtually without a flaw and her score showed it. She was given 76.12 points, the best ever for a woman.
After both programs were done, Kim said she was thrilled that she had achieved the biggest goal of her career so far: the world title. But a chance for an Olympic gold medal awaits.
“This world championships is the last competition before the Olympic season, so I really wanted to get this title,” said Kim, who trains with the two-time Olympic medalist Brian Orser in Toronto.
Kim is usually composed when hearing her national anthem play, but that was an impossible feat Saturday.
Soon after the first note sounded, she could not stop tears.
She wiped them off carefully, with the back of her fingers, so not to mess up her makeup. There were too many tears to catch, though, as they rolled down her face.
