Firsts Keep Coming for Kim

South Korea's Yu-Na Kim continues to make history every time she steps on the ice. When she won the Triglav Trophy in Slovenia in 2002 in novice, it was the first victory for a Korean lady at an international event. When she won the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) in Budapest, Hungary in 2004, it the first time a Korean skater had won a JGP event. She followed up with a silver at the 2005 JGP Final, making it the first time a Korean had reached the podium there. She topped that at the following JGP Final in 2006, winning gold - another first.

When Kim placed second at the 2005 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, it was the first time a Korean skater had stood on the podium at either a major ISU championship or at Junior Worlds. When she won the event in the following season, it was the first time a Korean had won an ISU championship or Junior Worlds.
