Kim Yu Na Kicks Ass in the Short Program

Kim Yu Na kicked ass during the first night of ladies’ figure skating competition at the Winter Olympics.  She skated a near perfect performance and outdazzled her competition by setting the all time record for short program scores with a 78.50.  This bested her closest competitor and biggest rival, Mao Asado, by nearly 5 points.  She came prepared and was a competitor because she had to perform right after a magnificent performance by Mao Asado.  It was appropriate that she came out swinging with a performance to the James Bond theme song.  She skated with grace, power and beauty.  Kim Yu Na is skating her heart out and competing with the grit of Michael Jordan.  She has the weight of South Korea on her shoulders and also the knowledge that the previous 3 favorites entering the Winter Olympics failed to win the gold medal in ladies’ figure skating.  A lot of guys could learn from her competitiveness and focus.  She simply kicked major ice skating ass!
