During her career, Forbes magazine reported that she was earning around $9 million, making her the seventh highest-paid female athlete. Most of which came from endorsements and advertisements from big brands like Nike, Hyundai, Korean Air, etc. She is not married but is in a relationship with singer Ko Woo Rim with the two set to get married soon.
Kim Yuna’s Early years and career
Yuna Kim had an early start to her career as the South Korean figure skater won her first major competitive title back in 2006. She won a Gold medal in the World Junior Championships, after finishing past Mao Asada, the Japanese skater who would later on become one of her main competitors.
Later on, her following achievements led her to the 2009 World Championship title, where she managed to beat Canada’s Joannie Rochette.
Kim’s decision to perform her figure skating prowess to an assortment of James Bond movie soundtracks paid off as she went on to set a new world record of 78.50 points. The soundtrack that accompanied her stunning and bold routine impressed not just the public but the judges as well, as she performed a flawless series of the most difficult jumps.
Kim Yuna’s New World Record
Kim Yuna managed to produce another sequence of perfectly executed triple jumps, this time around performing to George Gershwin’s music. This performance helped establish her superior technical skills and choreography, scoring her 150.06 points and setting a new world record.
The South Korean figure skater performed a career best on the world’s biggest stage, which scored her a new combined world record total of 228.56 points. She also became the first figure skater from South Korea to win an Olympic gold medal in the process.
Striking Ambassador
Following her impressive record-setting win, Kim continued her success with successive second place finishes at the Worlds in 2010 and 2011. After this, she took a two-year break from the skating rink. Kim explained in October 2011.
After the Games last year, I found myself caught up in a whirlwind of activities, on top of all the preparations for competitions. I felt I needed a break.
Despite this, she was never away from the Olympic stage. In 2018, she agreed to become an ambassador to help bid for PyeongChang to host the 2018 Winter Games. On July 6, 2012, her inspiring presentation to the IOC members in Durban (RSA) helped secure the bid for hosting the Games in the Korean city during the first round of voting.
Final campaign in Sochi
Kim returned to the skating rink soon after her break and the Sochi Olympic Games of 2014 were her final Olympic campaign as a competitive figure skater. Kim defended her Olympic title as a firm favorite, getting into a final three-way contest with Adelina Sotnikova of Russia and Italy’s Carolina Kostner.
However, despite another impressive performance, she came in second place, losing to teenage sensation Sotnikova. Kim announced her retirement straight way after the crowning ceremony at the age of just 23.
