Good to have some form of revenge. 20 points sounds like a good drubbing.

Kim is the only Asian athlete to be nominated in the individual sports category*.

QUOTE

Figure skater Kim Yu-na has been nominated as Sportswoman of the Year.

The poll, conducted by the Women’s Sports Foundation, is currently underway and the winner will be announced Oct. 13 at an event in New York City. The 10 nominees were chosen based on performances given between Aug. 1, 2008 and July 31, 2009.

Founded by former tennis star Billie Jean King in 1974, the foundation has chosen a Sportswoman of the Year every year since 1993.

Other notable nominees this year include Serena Williams and Lorena Ochoa.

Sample Ballot:

QUOTE

The 19-year-old Kim is the only Asian athlete to be nominated in the individual sports category. Introducing Kim as currently "the world's No. 1 female figure skater," the foundation said, "In February 2009, Kim won the Four Continents Figure Skating Championship; the second-place finisher trailed by 21 points. She set two world records for highest scores in the short program and overall at the ISU World Figure Skating Championship (March). Kim is the first South Korean to win the World Figure Skating Championship." added by leon- =>actually Yu-Na is the first Korean to win any international figure skating medal at any level -- ever! In five years of international competitions at the junior and senior levels, Kim has been on the podium (1st 2nd or 3rd) at every competition -- every single one --!

From Chosun Ilbo at:* Kim Yu-na Nominated for Sportswoman of Year

This topic is a duplicate from Korean celeb photo Forum (http://www.soompi.com/forums/) -- hopefully this will be okay because Kim Yu-Na is both a celebrity and an athlete and this topic is very time critical. This topic can be deleted on next Tuesday since the voting ends on Monday.
