Last night, the 2010 Winter Olympics Ladies' Figure Skating started.
After the short program, 4 Asians are in the top 6. The leader at the moment is Korean superstar Kim Yu-na. Followed by Mao Asada. Miki Ando and Mirai Nagasu hold spots 4 and 6 respectively.
The LA Times article, "Young Asian American skaters dream they can soar" came out this past Sunday. In the article, "Coach Victoria Stratton said those Asian girls who most often excel at the sport are short and slim, and lack hips." Interesting.
In any case. The Asian sistas are laying a beat down on the rest of the group.
After seeing Kim Yu-Na for the first time since the 2009 worlds here in LA, I can't imagine anyone beating her. She really is that good.
In any other year, Mao would be the champ. Especially if you compare it to the 2006 scores. I think the 2002 games were on the previous scoring system that caused a lot of flack for tampering.
