SEOUL, South Korea (AP)—Olympic gold medalist Kim Yu-na may be the reigning

Seoul’s Incheon airport.

VANCOUVER -- They call her Queen, South Korea's Kim Yu-Na , and the stunning performance that saw her win Olympic gold Thursday night was not just a coronation but an affirmation of how much better a figure skater she is than any other woman on Planet Earth.
