Yu-Na Kim's stunning new long program

World champion Yu-Na Kim of Korea skated her new long program - set to George Gershwin music - during a practice session in Paris today at the Trophee Eric Bompard, the first stop on the 2009-10 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series.

Kim sailed through six beautiful triple jumps. She has added a new triple/triple combination to her repertoire (3Lutz/3toe), and the steps and choreography into her triple Salchow are excellent as well. Additionally, her stretch, lines and body positions all look much improved.



The 10 ladies in competition in Paris will skate their short programs tomorrow, with the free skate final on Saturday. Keep checking Minnesota Ice for competition updates and recaps.
