Korean figure skater Kim Yuna has won the gold medal of women’s figure skating at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Official results here.
Kim scored 150.06 points in the free program on Thursday night (local time) and a new world record total of 228.56 points to earn South Korea its first ever Olympic gold medal in figure skating.
Japan’s Mao Asada and Canada’s Joannie Rochette retained their position from the short program to win the silver and bronze.
The term Grand Slam is not often used in figure skating, but it’s worth mentioning that Kim is the first ever lady to hold the title of 4CC, World Championships, Grand Prix Final and Winter Olympics at the same time.
Time to claim my free beer from the Korean guys lol. Image from Chosun [Kr]
