Kim leads jubilant SKorean team home from Olympics
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) Olympic gold medalist Kim Yu-na may be the reigning queen of the ice, but her coach Brian Orser says there's one jump she has yet to tackle in competition: the difficult triple axel.
Asked about Orser's secret plan to introduce the jump championed by Japanese rival Mao Asada, Kim raised her eyebrows during a news conference Tuesday at Seoul's Incheon airport.
"This is news to me - are you sure?" the 19-year-old said, turning around at her coach.
