Most likely she won't have any reason to communicate w/ Brian unless she decides to hire him as her coach again. It's not like they hang out in the same rink or anything like that.

No chance of friendship, to say the least. Orser burned down that bridge and I doubt it can ever be rebuilt. (It might be a little awkward at Worlds next year if Orser is there.)

In any case, I don't think Yuna will announce her coach and training base until after her summer ATS show. This thread seems premature.

Coach Shin is one of the most respected and elder figure in Korean figure skating. Coach Ryu is often credited for "discovering" Yuna as he was her very first coach.

Shin will be her principal coach and Ryu will specifically supervise Yuna's training regimen and monitor her physical condition. They have the contract until the Worlds next year. Coach Shin said she is happy to coach Yuna again who has become the world class skater; she does feel the burden of coaching Yuna but will do her best to get a good result at the Worlds.

Ryu is the coach who noticed YuNa's talent and persuaded her mom to let YuNa learn skating. I think he is the coach YuNa and her mom trust most (personally). YuNa and mom mentioned his name numerously on books and interviews.

I have a feeling that they are interim coaches until the end of Worlds. Perhaps, next season will be different.

Back to basis!!! I'm really happy that she decided to train with them
fundamentals are really important right?
she will get back her level with them until Sochi Games and change for probably foreign coach
wish her the very best
really glad that she can lay down all the pressure she had and skate comfortably ^____^

I thought that a Korean coach would be not enough to take care of her, but two coaches who led Yuna to the sublime technique in her beginning years?! Hell I say yessssssss! I feel so relieved about this news. I have a great feeling they would work the magic, incredible magic together!

If you can read Korean, definitely read this interview of Shin from four years ago. (This was taken right before 2008 GPF in Korea.)

At the following interview, YuNa revealed that she is OK technically, but has physical problem (stamina). She described her current state as 70%.

I'm happy, I hope they can give her calm and confidence, it's like going back to the beginning, starting everything again, like she said when she announced her comeback! :respec1: As we've said before, staying in Korea could help her feeling "at home", and training with people she already knows doesn't involve fitting into a new environment, different kind of training, learning a new technique... She said she's at 70% at the moment? :eusathink: She has a month and a half, I hope coach Ryu will do a good job for her stamina!
But, I'm just happy that she finally chose some coaches! :yahoo:

Awww.... Once again, Yuna is in uncharted territory, but those who are familiar with her/her mum's devotion to Korean skating probably shouldn't be surprised. It is a brave and risky choice if her only goal is another Olympic medal, however as someone who probably wish to build and devote her life to help Korean skating well after - this seems to make perfect sense. It is also an exceptionally generous way to acknowledge those who helped her past. Yuna has really came home, to able to give back and came along way from her first red pair of skating boot to able to do this. :)

Once again, she proved she is a risk taker, an innovator and an instinctual skater who trust her guts more than her sense (e.g picked Brian Orser out with no experience, no reputation, untried and untested). She knows she can trust her 2 coaches to take care of her and the future of Korea skating. Practical decision too since she'd gain a nice and familiar environment where she don't have to to travel around like crazy, and she already got used to the crazy celebrity status compared when she was a teenager. Actually one might even say, this is an incredible opportunity for these 2 marvelous coaches with little international standing outside Korea. We already knew of the Yuna effect on other young Korean skaters with her training at home. If it ends well, Korean skaters can train at home with 2 new ISU validated experts, who hopefully will gain great reputation internationally with their own OGM student and hopefully good results to come after Yuna goes into retirement. The 2 coaches too will likely to be more devoted to her than any internationally renowned coach that has their own stables of skaters to take care of. Yuna is part of their legacy already, and they are not going to mess up with it.

All Korea need now is one or two proper rink and some proper funding, still a long way to go Korea. Very brave, very risky, very Yuna Kim! She is so different from everyone else, it is never safe with her. Love it (concerned like crazy but love it.) Respect! :respec1:

(Ps. Someone will need to re-title this thread, it is 2 coaches! Not just the 1. ^_^ )

Coach Shin's letter to Yuna before the Olympic.

http://news.chosun.c...0022400130.html

It's very touching and warming... Hope there will be translations on this.

Some interesting parts :
When Yuna was 12, Coach Shin just explained how to do 3F shortly, and Yuna succeeded 3F at the FIRST try! :o
Yuna mastered 5 triples just in one year!
