“Figure Skater Queen” Kim Yu-na set a new world record with a score of 76.28 in the short program of women’s singles at the Skate America ISU Grand Prix event in Lake Placid, N.Y. Sunday (KST).

The 19-year-old figure skating star performed her James Bond-inspired routine to near perfection, beating the previous world record of 76.12, which she set at the world championships in March this year.

With no other major contenders in attendance, Kim was seen as the overwhelming favorite at Skate America and no other skater came even close to matching her score.
Rachael Flatt of the United States was second, scoring 58.80.

Kim scored 76.08 at her first competition of the season, the Trophee Bompard in Paris.
The free skate will take place early Monday, where Kim will have a good opportunity to better her own overall world record of 210.03.


김연아, 쇼트프로그램 역대 최고점

'피겨퀸' 김연아는 15일(이하 한국시간) 오전 미국 뉴욕주 레이크플래시드에서 치러진 ISU 스케이트 어메리카 그랑프리 대회 여자 싱글 쇼트프로그램에서 76.28점으로 역대 최고점을 기록했다.

피겨 스타 김(19)은 제임스본드 메들리곡의 루틴 프로그램을 거의 완벽에 가깝게 연기해, 자신이 지난 3월 세계 선수권대회에서 세운 기록인 76.12점을 갈아치웠다.

주 경쟁자들이 빠진 이번 대회에서 김은 스케이트 어메리카의 강력한 우승 후보로 보고 있으며 참가한 어느 선수도 이 점수에 접근하지 못했다. 미국의 레이첼 플랫이 58.80으로 2위를 차지했다.

김선수는 금년 시즌 첫 대회인 지난 파리 트로피봄파르 대회에서 76.08점을 얻었다. 메인 게임인 프리 스케이팅은 월요일 아침 열리며 김선수는 총점에서 지난 자신의 최고 기록 210.03점을 깰수 있는 좋은 기회가 될 것이다.
