Kim Yuna, the "Queen of Figure Skating", has now wrapped up her more than 15-year career, as she bid farewell to her fans on May 6. The 24-year-old figure skater announced her retirement from the sport earlier this year after the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

For the opening act, the star performed exquisitely with other skaters, dancing to the song "Let It Go" from Walt Disney's popular animated film "Frozen". Following were a series of performances by paired skaters, and then Kim showed up again at the end of the first half to perform her short program "Send in the Clowns" from the Sochi Winter Olympics.

The skater wrapped up her farewell show with a final dance to the sounds of Francesco Sartori's "Time to Say Goodbye". For her curtain call, she simply said her farewells to the jam-packed audience at the rink.

(photo: Yonhap News) Many news outlets from the U.S., too, rushed to headline the final ice show of Kim's career. Among them was NBC Sports, the sports division of U.S. broadcaster NBC. The news channel reported on May 7, that, "Yuna Kim bids tearful farewell at ice shows". "2010 Olympic figure skating champion Yuna Kim performed the last of her farewell ice shows in Seoul", it said. The same day, the Wall Street Journal also published a piece about the "queen of figure skating", titled "Yuna Kim's Final Spin". "South Korea's beloved figure skater is now officially done with a sport that she has competed in for more than 15 years", the newspaper said. The article shone a light on her glorious victories, saying that, "Yuna Kim won gold in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and silver in the recent Sochi Olympics, on top of numerous world championship titles during her life as a professional figure skater".

I have been really happy getting ready for these shows, indeed. It all seems like a dream. At the same time, I feel sorry to have to say goodbye", she said. "I have been so happy with all of you throughout my career and I will continue showing you the good side of me with other activities".

(captured image from WSJ homepage) Kim maintained her usual composure until her long-time choreographer, David Wilson, sitting next to her, made an emotional remark. "Coaching Yuna was the best experience I've ever had in my 22-year career as a choreographer", he said. At the heartfelt praise from Wilson, Kim began to shed tears. Wilson continued by saying that he felt so proud to see the outgoing skater finish her last show with perfection, saying that, "This is the most memorable moment in my life". "Probably the best way to describe the way I feel is that it's a little bit bitter-sweet. I think, any transition in life is always exciting, but this is a little bit sad, too. I'm really proud of her".

He means a lot to me". "I want to take a good rest after this event. I will not rush in to something new. Instead, I will take my time to think about my future". By Sohn JiAe |
