Okay, I just found out through Wikipedia that the 2010 Olympic Champion Yuna Kim is sitting out the 2010-2011 Grand Prix of Figure Skating because she wants to prepare for the 2011 World Championships, which will be held at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo between March 21 and 27, 2011. *Groans*
According to reports, she is supposed to be competing at the 2010 Cup of China and to the 2010 Cup of Russia. Shame shame, an amazing showdown between Yuna and Miki Ando (both former World Champions) will never happen.
I wonder why. Maybe she's planning to upset the defending World Champion Mao Asada in her home country as sort of a payback after Mao defeated her at the 2008-2009 ISU Grand Prix Final that was held in Yuna's turf, Goyang, South Korea.
Oh well. I guess skating fans will have to watch the Grand Prix circuit without Queen Yuna. I can't wait for her camp to reveal what her skating music will be for the 2011 World Championships.
