More "unexpected" news
Figure skater Kim Yu-na to sit out entire season
INCHEON, Oct. 18 (Yonhap) -- Figure skater Kim Yu-na said Tuesday she will sit out the entire 2010-11 season (they probably mean the 2011/2012 sigh) but denied she was retiring from the sport.
"I've decided not to enter any event this upcoming season," Kim told reporters at Incheon International Airport, west of Seoul, upon returning from her training camp in Los Angeles. "After the Vancouver Olympics last year, it's been a whirlwind of activities on top of all the preparations for competitions. I felt I needed to take a breather."
After winning gold in ladies' singles in Vancouver with a record total of 228.56 points, Kim didn't compete in any of the Grand Prix events organized by the International Skating Union (ISU) the following season. She only entered the world championships in April this year, and finished second behind Miki Ando of Japan.
