Kim Yu-Na (born September 5, 1990) is a South Korean figure skater. Kim was born in 1990 in Bucheon, Gyeonggi and moved to Gunpo when she was six years old. She trained initially in South Korea before spending four years training in Toronto, Canada. She currently trains in Los Angeles, California. Kim began skating at the age of 7. Her coach at the time, Jong-Hyeon Ryu, strongly suggested to Kim’s mother that Kim should continue to skate, predicting that she would become a world-class figure skater in the future. In August 2010, Forbes magazine listed her as one of the highest-paid female athletes in the world, with annual earnings of $9.7 million. Kim was rated one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2010 by TIME Magazine.
In 2002, Kim competed internationally for the first time at the Triglav Trophy, where she won the gold medal in the novice competition. A year later, at age 12, she won the senior title at the South Korean Championships, becoming the youngest skater ever to win that title. Kim is the first South Korean figure skater to win a medal at an ISU Junior or Senior Grand Prix event, ISU Championship, and the Olympic Games. She is the first female skater to win the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Four Continents Championships and the Grand Prix Final. She is also the first female skater to surpass the 200-point mark under the ISU Judging System.
One of Kim’s most famous moves is the bent-leg layover camel spin. She has performed the spin position since 2004. Although she did not invent the move, it is now frequently called the “Yuna spin” or “Yuna camel”. Her signature move is a layback ina bauer that she leads directly into a double axel jump, to a double axel-triple toe loop jump combination or to a double axel-double toe loop-double loop jump combination.
In August 2010, Kim and her coach of four years, Brian Orser, parted ways. Their split was first made known to the public by Orser’s press release.Orser claimed that his dismissal had been “sudden and unexpected” and that he had been given no explanation for the split. Kim posted an online message accusing Orser of lying and stated on her official website that they had been maintaining an awkward and ambiguous relationship for months, and that she was perplexed by Orser’s announcement. She also said that the dismissal had been her decision and that the reason behind it did not need to be made public. After the split, Orser caused controversy by revealing Kim’s 2010–2011 competitive program information to the press without Kim and her choreographer’s consent. Soon after, Kim left the rink where she had trained with Orser, to train at East West Ice Palace in Los Angeles owned by Michelle Kwan and Kwan’s family.On October 5, 2010, Peter Oppegard was announced as Kim’s coach.
The correct transcription of her name from Korean script would be ‘Kim Yeona’. However, when she applied for her passport, she intended to write her name as ‘Yun-a’, but the official mis-wrote her name as ‘Yu-na’. In Hangul ‘Yu-na’ would properly be spelled “유나” and not “연아.” In 2008, Kim was baptized as a Catholic alongside her mother, taking the saint’s name Stella. In 2009, Kim enrolled at Korea University as a Physical Education major. In October 2011, Kim was appointed a member of the Executive Committee of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games Organising Committee. Kim played a key role in South Korea’s effort to win the rights to host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. -Wikipedia

Why we think she’s hot:
Yuna Kim is the first female skater ever, to win the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Four Continents Championships and the Grand Prix Final, which is part of the reason why, she is without question, one of the most recognized athletes and media figures in South Korea of all time. It is with good reason. Coupled with her ability to skate like an angel, quite simply, she looks like an angel as well, and possess perhaps, one of the greatest pairs of legs on Earth. One doesn’t need to be a master of the triple lutz-triple toe loop combination (like Yuna is) to see why we’re bowing down and kissing those golden skates, and placing her on the podium here.
