just want to start a thread on hot olympic athletes to watch in the upcoming vancouver.
My favorite is Kim Yu-Na.
anyone else?
Kim is favored to win against her top rival japanese skater Mao Asada. Asada won the 2008 world championship while Kim won the 2009 world championship. So, the competition will be pretty intense. Kim is currently the biggest celebrity athlete in Korea, racking up huge revenue from endorsements. Since Koreans and Japanese don't really get along with each (you can thank WWII for that), alot of Koreans will be paying close attention to the winter olympics this year. Regardless, it'll be interesting.
