Korean Skating Prodigy
South Korea's 11-year-old figure skating prodigy You Young has Olympic gold in her sights and with a tough, six-hours-a-day training regime, she's prepared to work hard to get it. You, only 4ft 7ins tall, has been hailed as the heir apparent to Korean ice queen Kim Yu-Na after she became the country's youngest ever ladies singles champion last month. You is now trying to master the triple axel, the highest-value triple jump which only a handful of women skaters have landed in international competition. With so much hype, You admits she's finding it hard to focus and has returned some disappointing results since winning the national title. But she said she was determined to bounce back, by working even harder on her speed and jumps.
