Some athletes have to go to a different city to train. For Kim Ya-Na, following her Olympic dream meant leaving her country and her culture. She left South Korea for Toronto, with the hope of Olympic gold at the Vancouver Winter Games:
“… The road has been a long one for Kim, the first Korean to medal at an ISU Championship when she took silver at the 2005 world junior championships and bronze at the 2007 world championships.
But she believes her move to Canada in 2006 has done a lot to improve her confidence. She is is (sic) now being coached by Canada’s 1984 and 1988 Olympic silver medallist Brian Orser in Toronto.”
