Since Ice skating is full of asian skaters worldwidely known, I thought about starting a thread.

FIrst to begin with, does anyone knows where I can download HQ videos of the newly-arrived korean skater Yuna KIM ? Saw her on tv at tophee bompard, paris :shocked: wow. All i can find on the web fot the moment is youtube videos :shamefulcry: does anyone know a site of fans sharing iceskating HQ videos ?

Yeah ~Actually I started to follow ice skating on tv when she was at her debuts :beaten: She's somewhat more artistical than Mao Asada imo :beaten: Well, quadruple jump I agree with, but she doesn't do it on every performance :sweat: :beaten:

Anyway, Yuna KIM won the gold medal at trophee bompard, beating miki ando (2nde) xD. Anyone knows where I can find videos of acceptable quality ?

@bmw : what's VP ? :bonk:

I used to follow Figure Skating religiously when I was younger and watched TV. I don't anymore, but I do still prefer it when it's on to the other shows/channels.

Thanks for making this thread! I'll be able to keep up-to-date on things this way.

Yeah. Retired now. A bit sad. I guess it's because she considers herself too old now (26 years old) -_-"
