Countdown to the Olympics

The opening ceremony is less than a week away.

Here's an article from The Korea Herald about the representation of South Korea at the Olympics!

Korea to send 45 players to Vancouver Olympics

Korea will field 45 players in four events at the Vancouver Winter Olympics scheduled to take place in the Canadian city on Feb. 12-28, the Korean Olympic Committee (KOC) said Tuesday, according to Yonhap News.
The KOC said the Korean players -- 26 men and 19 women -- will compete in skating, skiing, the biathlon and bobsleigh-skeleton.

There will be 28 players in the skating events, including reigning world champion Kim Yu-na, who is expected to bring home the nation's first figure skating gold.

Including 18 coaches and 19 support officials, the Korean squad will number 82 people, it noted.


I finally watched the US skating nationals on YouTube and there will definitely be some great competition. Don't judge, but I already wrote every figure skating event in my planner and even calculated it to Korean time. I can't wait!
