The Sochi Games is not only my second Olympics, but the 'retirement stage' for me, so I want to have a greater experience than any other competition before. In the past, I had strong concepts for short programs and lyrical ones for the long. But this time, it's the other way around. Kim Yuna competitionconceptexperience share on social
I have learned from the first Olympics, of course. When I went to my first Olympic Games, I experienced all of the pressure and was able to win the gold medal. I try not to feel the pressure, and I try not to be nervous when I am on the ice and when I compete. Kim Yuna competeexperiencefeel share on social
In competition, when I start performance I try not to think about all the pressure from the fans. But, I got a lot of energy from them always. They make me more perfect. Kim Yuna competitionenergyfan Change image and share on social
I'm not feeling much pressure for the Olympics because I think I already have done many things in my career. I will try to enjoy my second Olympics. Kim Yuna careerenjoyfelt Change image and share on social
I get tired too, just like everybody else. Sometimes I tell people that, but all I get is people saying that being vulnerable and weak is just not like me. I rarely get the response of emotional support I want. But sometimes I need it. Kim Yuna emotionalpeoplerarely share on social
Many people talk about winning two straight gold medals, but I'm not focusing on defending the title. Kim Yuna defendfocusgold Change image and share on social
For the off-ice training, I do basic strength training, and for the on-ice training, I practice jumps, spins, steps, and my new long program with my new coach Peter Oppegard. Kim Yuna basiccoachice Change image and share on social
What I miss the most is chatting with my friends and family and having a good laugh over a simple meal. Kim Yuna chatfamilyfriend Change image and share on social
I love weekends. Just like everyone else, I get to rest on weekends and go out with friends. I hate Mondays. Kim Yuna friendhatelove Change image and share on social
I trained for four years in Toronto, and even before that, I was back and forth between Canada and the States during summer for training. And, since there isn't much difference between Canada and the States, I haven't felt much difference in the environment. Kim Yuna backcanadadifference share on social
