From CNN:
Kurt Browning, a four-time world
champion, told The New York Times: "I just couldn't see how Yu-na and
Sotnikova were so close in the components. I was shocked. What, suddenly, she
just became a better skater overnight? I don't know what happened. I'm still
trying to figure it out."
Kim was looking to be only the
third woman to defend her Olympic figure skating title, joining Katarina Witt,
who took to the ice in Calgary 26 years ago, and Sonja Henie, who competed in
the 1920s and '30s.
In 2010, she took gold in the
Vancouver Olympics by a landslide, where she scored a record 228.56 points to
win in women's figure skating. She eclipsed her closest rival by a massive 23.06
points.
Known as "Queen Yuna" to her
legions of fans, Kim's victory in Vancouver made her the first Korean figure
skater to win a gold medal.
