Kim Yu-na to skate only at World Championships

Kim will skip Grand Prix for this season

By Yoon Chul
Staff reporter

Figure queen Kim Yu-na said Monday she will only appear at the World Championships while staying away from the Grand Prix events for this season.

I will skip the Grand Prix Events and I will focus on the other event (World Championships), Kim said upon arrival at Incheon International Airport.

As of her announcement the fans wont see her performance in the Grand Prix competition of 2010-2011 season, starting from Oct. 22 in Japan. Instead they can see the world No.1 skaters dance on March 19 in the World Championships.

The 19-year-old, who returned home from Canada to prepare for an ice show, indicated she would not attend the Asian Games in Kazakhstan in February.

She also said that she hasnt yet set a new program.

I didnt start training yet. After the ice show Ill make up a schedule with the coaching staff and select the programs,

First of all I need to recover my normal condition in full though now I am in good shape, Kim said.

The world record holder was expected to shine again at the World Championships in March in Italy, only to finish second.

Kim stumbled few times in the short program and ranked seventh — her lowest placement at an ISU event.

The Vancouver Olympic gold medalist also revealed that she would come up with a fresh type of performance to new music.

I have yet to use many different types of music. I want to perform to a tango or some Latin music, she said.

Kim, who already performed an ice show in May, will perform four times in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province from Friday to Sunday.

For this show, Kim launched a new soundtrack Bulletproof, — much more up-tempo compared with material previously used to accompany skaters.

In the ice show, Kims hero and former figure queen, Michelle Kwan, Torino Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen, Stephane Lambiel who came fourth at the Vancouver Olympics among others will appear with Kim.

Rising star Kwak Min-jung and next generation skater Kim Hae-jin will also perform in the show.
