Great news descended upon the skating world last week when Kim Yu-na announced she was returning to competition with the goal of taking part in the 2014 Sochi Games.
With Kim and two-time world champion Miki Ando sitting out last season, and Mao Asada unable to find her top form, the campaign lacked the buzz of seasons past. But that won't be a problem for the next 20 months.
Make no mistake about it, Kim is a superstar in every sense of the word. A great athlete, spokesperson and humanitarian — all at the age of 21.
