  Kim Yu-na won gold at the Four Continents Championships in Vancouver. Kim, a two-time World Championship bronze medalist, scored 116.83 points at the free skating competition, following a world-record short program performance of 72.24 points. She held off a fierce challenge from Joannie Rochette and Mao Asada. Kim’s victory of the championship raised expectation in Korea that she will take gold in the 2010 Winter Olympics to be held in the same Canadian city. "I couldn`t win last year`s competition because of an injury. I`m trying to keep my health in good condition this year," Kim said. Clad in red, the 18-year old skated to the music Scheherazade, successfully pulling off a flip-triple combination at the opening of her performance. Kim fell once while attempting a triple loop but made up for lost points by skillfully managing the rest of her jumps, including a double axel-triple.
