Yu Na Kim won the gold medal last night!!!!!! In Korea, Yu Na is like a superstar since she is the first figure skater from our country who won all kinds of international competitions. She is the most famous and popular athelete in Korea, and everyone just love her.  Since she was doing so well, there were lots of pressure put on to her on the Olympics. People really believed that she will win the gold medal, and she knew that. When she recieved 150.06 in her free skating, everyone just screamed. In Korea, when Yu Na was skating, a program rating on tv was 41% which is really high. I heard that everyone just screamed in the joy, and some people even played music outside to celebrate her victory.

After watching a ceremony of awarding prizes, I looked back at myself. Yu Na is only 19 years old like me, but she represents our country. We see how beautiful she is on the ice, but she would have fallen thousands of times  to make it perfect. She didn’t just get her skill out of nowhere, but she actually tried hard when nobody sees.  She fought herself, and won. For me, it is always the most difficult to fight against myself. I want to rest, make myself comfortable, and just give up when I encounter difficulty. By looking at Yu Na, I see how hard I have to push myself away from the comfort zone in order to gain something. I can’t forget her tears and smile. She could really smile because she tried her best.
