Kim Yu-na
By Cindy Grigg

¹     Many people like to watch figure skating. They think it is a glamorous sport. The costumes are beautiful. The music is exciting. The skaters are graceful. They are athletic, too. They do amazing spins, jumps, and twirls on the ice. One of the best figure skaters in the world right now is Kim Yu-na. Some say she is THE best!

²     Kim Yu-na was born September 5, 1990, in South Korea. Kim is her family name. Yu-na is her given name. The ISU (International Skating Union) lists her as "Yu-Na Kim." Some of her fans wave banners calling her "Queen Kim." No matter how you say her name, it is already famous in the world of figure skating. She was ranked as the number one figure skater in the world in January 2010. The 2010 Olympics will be her first Olympic competition.

³     Yuna (another way to write her name) began skating at age seven. Her older sister was a skater. Yuna wanted to try skating, too. Her first coach saw her talent. He said she would become a world-class skater in the future. He was right!
