The intrigue surrounding the split between South Korean Olympic gold medalist Kim Yu Na and coach Brian Orser seems to know no end.
Just when it looked like things had calmed down after their surprising split last month, Kim switched ice rinks last week and was planning to train at Toronto's Granite Club, according to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper. Kim had worked with Orser at the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club for the past four years.
Though Kim would have still been working with choreographers David and Tracy Wilson, it clearly would have been an uncomfortable situation for all had she remained at the rink Orser works at. Shae-Lynn Bourne, who will choreograph Kim's new short program, is based at the Granite Club, so the change seemed logical.
