Even in the hardest circumstances, dreams can give you the courage to live, and I hope I can share that message with children in need.
From Kim Yuna
I love weekends. Just like everyone else, I get to rest on weekends and go out with friends. I hate Mondays.
To many, peace is what enables development and is critical in providing opportunities to young people. To some - especially those from regions involved in conflict - peacekeeping and efforts to preserve peace are absolutely vital in bringing prosperity and hope for the future.
For a long time, just skating in the Olympics had been my goal because not many Koreans had done it.
I am not trying my best because it is the Olympics. I try my best always.
People expect that I'll be just perfect on ice, and that's not the case. I make mistakes, too. When I review my performance, sometimes I feel I did awful. That's the whole part of the process of what people see when I'm performing.
What I miss the most is chatting with my friends and family and having a good laugh over a simple meal.
The popularity of figure skating has increased tremendously, and Koreans have a huge interest in figure skaters - not only me, other international skaters as well.
Watching previous figure skaters, I always wondered why they cried after their performance.
If I give up my career as a skater simply because I fear I won't show my best performance, I would be really sorry later in life.
