GOOGLE到一段Yuna的QA采访,希望无良记者不要误解,因为标题起的是“Kim Yu-na Ponders Retirement from Competitions”
Q: Despite winning silver, the world championships didn't seem easy for you.
A: I decided to compete in the world championships after the first ISU Grand Prix event, the Trophée Eric Bompard, in Paris in October last year. At the time, I was full of confidence (Kim won the event with a combined score of 210.03 points), and I thought the world championships wouldn't be a big deal after the Olympics. I didn't know the post-Olympic period would be this difficult. I had lots of regrets because it was so hard.
Q: What thoughts came to your mind while preparing for the world championships?
A: I was so afraid of the fact that I had to compete again and feel the pressure and tensions of competition. I wasn't ready for this competition at all, either physically or mentally. I also thought, "What if I don't do well after I’ve become an Olympic champion through years of very hard work?”
Q: Now everyone is curious about your future after the 2009/2010 season.
A: I have a choice between retiring and turning professional or remaining in competition. If I choose to continue to compete, it would be because I think I’ll be able to maintain my current level. If I choose to quit, I think it'll be because I'm tired of the tremendous pressure and stress I get from competition. If I'm not an athlete, I think I’d be doing ice shows and go to university.
Q: What have you gained and lost from skating to date?
A: What I've lost is school life, including the fact that I wasn’t able to make a lot of friends. But a big achievement would be that I reached the top of the world at a young age in what I do best.
Q: What do you want to do most when you go back to Korea?
A: I don't think I'll have time to get a driver's license. Traveling would be unrealistic as well. I just want to eat delicious food without fear that my stomach will explode. There isn't any specific thing that I'm dying to eat, but I just want to eat freely. I can't eat much normally because when I gain weight, my face looks so puffy that I can't even look at my pictures online.
Q: Are you returning to university?
A: I'd love to go to school, but to be frank, it's difficult. Even when I just stopped by to say hello last year, there were so many people gathering around to see me, so I'm a bit afraid. If I get a chance, I’d like to study sports psychology.
