My interest in the woman's figure skating culminated at then-East German player Katrina witt and gradually became lukewarm and later for a long time I didn't have watched the figure skating game. <br /><br />Then all of a sudden Yuna Kim reignited my interest in the figure skating. However, I was more excited with speed skating games in Vancouver Olympics, in which Korean players won 3 gold medals for woman's 500m and man's 500m and 1000m speed skating. <br /><br />Korea won 6 gold medals in Vancouver, more gold medals than The Giant Russia(3 gold), China(5 gold)which never got more gold medals than Korea in the Winter Olympic history, Japan(no Gold).<br /><br />Anyway, the 3 Korean gold medalists in the speed skating really impressed me because despite each of them was the shortest of the final competitors, they defeated all the noticeably taller competitors from the western countries. It seemed to me that the Korean young boys and girls defeated the European and American full-grown adults.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
