“To skate with her every day is just normal,” he says. “She works incredibly hard. She has mistakes and she has rough days. The first time I noticed how special she was when I had trained with her for several months leading into the season and then I saw her compete at the Grand Prix event in Paris. I saw how different she looked vs. at training. That’s when I thought, Wow, there’s nobody better.”

Two other (figure skating) queens unite
The Korea Times reported that Kim Yu-Na and Michelle Kwan will skate a duet at the upcoming "All That Summer Skate" in South Korea.
The duo will skate to "Hero," by Mariah Carey as Kwan was Kim's idol growing up.
The 5-time world champion Kwan seems to have formed a bond with her admirer - one of Kwan's only performances since withdrawing from the 2006 Torino Games was at a show Kim hosted last summer.
This year's show is the first produced by "Queen Yu-Na's" own management company.
