Who is Yu-Na Kim (김연아 )?

Yu- na Kim was born September 5, 1990 in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do. She is a nineteen years old South Korea’s na-tional figure skater.

Yu-na Kim earned first ever gold in South Korean ice skating history during 2010 Vancouver Olympics. She got the highest score(over 200 points with the ladies short program and free skating combined) ever since ISU’s new scoring system in 2006. Yu-na became the top three in the TIME 100 list, not only recording something we thought was impossible but also grabbing the golf-loving south Koreans attention on the Ice skating.

She is also the first one ever as the south Korean skater to win a medal at various events which are: ISU junior grand prize events, ISU (International Skating union) championship, and the Olympic.

Reason Why I Chose this article

I chose this article, because I was very interested when I saw this poll going on, wondering who would win. As you know, there have been very in-fluential people in this year, with all the events such as 2010 Winter Olympics, and I think why I was attracted by it.

I learned more about people who affected the world, whom I didn’t know before, and I want oth-ers to learn about them like I did.

Also, one of the people on the lists was Yu-na Kim, my favorite sports star in Korea who have won the gold medal in figure skating this winter Olympic.

Personal thoughts about this Poll I learned more about the people who

have influenced our world but I be-lieve that there are many more peo-ple who are not on the list that tried hard to change the world, and its just a matter of being famous.
