Yuna Kim

Yuna Kim's competitive record is extraordinary. She is the first Korean figure skater to win an Olympic medal, and her 2010 gold was the country's first in the sport. She set world records eleven times, and her 2010 free skate score of 150.06 was the first to break the 150-point barrier. Her consistency, never finishing below third in any competition, is unmatched in modern figure skating. Beyond her medals, she was named to Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2010, a rare honor for an athlete from a non-Western country. Her legacy extends off the ice, where she has mentored younger skaters and helped bring the Olympics to her homeland.
