Olympic champion Kim Yu-na has split from her coach, Brian Orser, in a move that has taken many by surprise—Orser included.
A statement from Kim’s management company, AT Sports, didn’t explain why the South Korean star left Orser, saying only that relations between the skater and coach had been “uncomfortable” since May. But Kim, who turns 20 on Sept. 5, was not at the Aug. 2 meeting featuring her mother, Orser and fellow coach Tracy Wilson, and she continues to train at the Toronto rink where she’s worked with Orser since 2006.
No wonder she’s called an Ice Queen! Joke!
