The Olympic reigning champion Kim Yu-na Wednesday said that her main music for the upcoming ice show will be “El Tango de Roxanne.”

At the All That Skate Summer 2012 ice show, scheduled from Aug. 24 to 26 at the Olympic Gymnastic Arena, the 21-year-old is expected to display a performance with a song that earned her the world record, 71.95, to wow figure skating fans around the world at 2007 World Championships in Tokyo when she was 16.

“I know for a fact that there are many fans that love “El Tango de Roxanne,” Kim said. “After the decision to compete for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, I chose this song to go back to the basics and start the challenge with a renewed mind. I hope many fans come to enjoy the show.”

The song, “El Tango de Roxanne,” will reenact the old choreography but only the dress she will wear will be different, All That Sports official said.

In addition to “El Tango de Roxanne,” Kim is going to feature the song, “All of me,” at the show. The former Russian figure skating star Alexei Yagudin and the three-time European figure skating champion Brian Joubert of France are also expected to participate in the event to add their unique colors to the performance.

Under the theme, “To the Ice World,” the show is expected to satisfy the local fans who have been waiting for Kim’s ice show since “E1 All That Skate Spring 2012” in May.
