Yuna Kim and Mirai Nagasu raise their hands up high after hearing their scores at the Ladies Free Skating Final at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver on Thursday evening (February 25).
The two figure skating finalists placed first and fourth, respectively, at the end of all the top contenders performances.
Yuna, 19 from South Korea, skated to Piano Concerto in F by Gershwin and ironically, has never skated this program clean before Thursday.
Mirai, 16, skated to Carmen and although placed fourth overall, jumped for joy like she won the gold medal.
Rachael Flatt holds on to her ice skates in this new pic from the 2010 Olympics photo shoot.
The 17-year-old national champion will make her Olympic debut today alongside Mirai Nagasu.
Rachael recently caught up with the NY Times about taking the gold home, “It would be nice for me to have those titles. But that’s not what it’s about for me. I do the best I can and if a medal comes with that, then great. I remember watching Sarah Hughes at the 2002 Olympics and I thought, I’d love to be in that position. I feel like I could totally do what she did.”
Both Rachael and Mirai will skate today during the Ladie’s Short Program. Check your local listings to see when it’s on in your region.
