キムヨナ

World champion Kim Yu-Naof South Korea is the overwhelming favorite for the ladies' gold medal. Her programs are so technically and artistically strong that she has been able to win competitions this season even while making mistakes. If she stays on her feet in Vancouver, Kim is all but unbeatable.

Kim's primary foe may be the pressure she faces from an ocean away. In South Korea, Kim is such a star that she requires two bodyguards to travel in her home country and she can't walk down the street there without being recognized. Her face is everywhere in South Korea; her list of sponsors includes Nike, Korean Air, and Hyundai. She trains away from the pressure in Canada with Olympic medalist Brian Orser, who has been preparing Kim for these Games for the past three seasons. Should Kim win gold, it would also be a victory for Orser -- both of his medals are silver.

キムの最大の敵は、母国の期待のプレッシャー。常に2人のボディガードなしには、街中を歩けないほど、知れ渡っている。

Until this season, Kim's major challenger was Japan's Mao Asada. Both skaters were too young for the Torino Olympics, but constantly traded titles throughout their junior and senior careers. Asada finished off the podium for the first time in her senior career at 2009 Worlds, and her problems continued during the fall international season. Asada's placement in Vancouver hinges on her triple Axel: if she lands it, she's a medal threat. If she doesn't, it will be hard for her to finish on the podium.

Japan's Miki Andoreturns for her second Games; this time with a world title and a stellar fall season to her credit. Ando, 22, was 15th in Torino, but arrives in Vancouver as a changed skater - she could make the podium. The third Japanese lady, Akiko Suzuki, is a joyful skater who broke through this season for her Olympic berth.
