Mao Asada and Yona Kim

Mao Asada and Yona Kim                                                                   2014. 2. 8

Yesterday (7.2.2014), Winter Olympic was starting in Sochi in Russia. Of course Japan participate to this Olympic. Japanese watch carefully for Mao Asada who is famous skating player in Japan. She started skate when she was small age. In 2006, when she was 16 years old, she participated World Skating Junior Cup and won. She became famous from that time, and she won at many cup. In 2010, there were Olympic in Vancouver and she got silver medal. After that Olympic, gradually she became weaker for skill of skating. These 4 years (2010-2014), she did hard practice. Last year December, she said she will retire of skating player after Sochi Olympic. So, this Olympic is last play for Mao Asada. She said "I promise to everyone that I will get gold medal!!"


Now, she is most strong player in Japan. But at Olympic, she has a lot of rivals. One of these is Yona Kim who is skating player in Korea. She is very strong in the world, and she got gold medal at Vancouver Olympic. She retire skating player after Sochi Olympic, so Asada and Kim can't lose gold medal at this Olympic.


I think Asada and Kim are good rival, because they have a lot of similar point. First, they have old sister. Their sister is skating player too, but not famous. Second, they have a lot of difficult, hard training when they were small age. Kim said she wanted to suicide, because training was so hard. Third, they gradually became weaker their skill after Vancouver Olympic. They did training hard this 4 years. Fourth, they will retire after Sochi Olympic. So this is last play to them. And they can't lose. I think this Olympic is most hard and difficult game for them, because they both have same feeling and same pressure.


Like it or not, this is last game for them, so I wish they will do best and try hard.
