Olympic champion Kim Yu-na failed to defend her world title, as she took a silver medal at the World Figure Skating Championships in Turin, Italy Sunday (KST).

The 19-year-old scored 130.49 points in the free skating for an overall of 190.79. She wound up seventh with 60.30 in the short program Saturday after under-rotating a triple flip and missing a layback spin.

Mao Asada of Japan claimed her second world championship title with 197.58 and Finnish Laura Lepisto placed third on 178.62.

Japanese Miki Ando finished fourth and short-program leader Mirai Nagasu of the United States dropped to seventh.

Kim, who looked to rebound from her disastrous performance in the short program, landed her first four jumps cleanly, but she fell on a salchow jump and botched a double axel before wrapping up her routine.

Kwak Min-jung finished 22nd in her first appearance of the World Championships.

The 16-year-old, who racked up 47.46 points in the short, earned 73.01 in the free skate segment for 120.47 total.

김연아 아쉬운 은메달

올림픽 금메달 리스트 김연아가 세계 피겨스케이팅 선수권 대회에서 은메달을 목에 걸었다.

김연아는 27일 (한국시간) 이탈리아 토리노에서 열린 대회 여자 싱글 프리스케이팅에서 130.49점을 받아 전날 쇼트프로그램 점수 60.30를 합쳐 총점 190.79점으로 2위에 올랐다.

일본의 아사다 마오가 197.58점으로 2년 만에 세계선수권대회 금메달을 되찾았고, 핀란드의 라우라 레피스토가 178.62점으로 3위에 올랐다.

안도 미키가 4위를 차지 했고 전날 쇼트 프로그램 1위였던 미라이 나가수는 7위에 머물렀다.

전날의 부진을 만회하려던 김연아는 초반 4개의 점프를 깨끗하게 성공했으나 그 후의 살코 점프에서 착지에 실패한 후 더블 악셀에서도 실수를 범했다.

또 한 첫 세계 선수권 대회에 출전한 곽민정은 22위를 차지했다.

곽민정은 쇼트 프로그램에서 47.46점을 받았고 프리 스케이팅에서는 73.01점으로 합계 120.47점으로 대회를 마감했다.
