YUNA WORKS

This channel's name is YunaWorks, which contains Filming, Editing, Imageworks and Video art.

This channel contains video clips of figure skater Kim Yu-Na.

Never have athlete and artist been more perfectly balanced than they are with Kim. Never has a skater with both those qualities displayed them so flawlessly in the sport's most important competition.

"I always wanted to be Olympic champion and do clean programs," Kim said. "This was the first time I have done both programs clean, and I am very joyful it was at the Olympics."

That achievement alone sets her apart from many of the sport's greats, especially because they had to do far fewer defined elements in a four-minute program that used to embody its title: free skate.

"It's not free any more," said 1976 Olympic champion Dorothy Hamill.

It is impossible to judge Kim against the past, as 1992 Olympic champion Kristi Yamaguchi noted Thursday by saying, "How do you compare that to Sonja Henie?" Henie, with her three Olympic titles and 10 world titles, can be called the greatest of all time, but 8-year-olds today could handle the technical difficulty of her programs.

"Under this new way of evaluating skating and expecting so much from skaters, Yuna distanced herself from the field by the overall, endless quality of her excellence," said 1984 Olympic champion Scott Hamilton.

This is a spot for everyone who loves Queen Yu-Na and figure skating and anyone who appreciates beauty. We hope that you will enjoy Yu-Na's unique blend of artistry and technical brilliance!
