Korean female athletes are winning everywhere!  Michelle Wie won her very first LPGA tournament down in Mexico this weekend and the best skater on the planet, Kim Yu-Na, won her second consecutive title at Skate America.  However, it wasn’t a perfect win because she failed to win the free skate portion of the competition after having dominated the short program with a new world record score.

Kim Yu Na stumbled a little in the free skate but in the end she beat out her nearest competitor by 13 points – which is considered a big gap – to win the Skate America title.  She is clearly the favorite heading into the Olympics in Vancouver.  Based on her scoring, she’s been demoralizing her competition because her scores have been significantly more than her competitors.  Will Kim Yu Na get a gold medal or will she become the next Michelle Kwan, who is known as one of the most decorated American ice skaters to never have won a gold medal at the Olympics.
