Yay!
Kim may not compete in Pyeongchang, but she will be all over the 2018 Games even so. Someone has to light the torch, right?
Plus, she'll be schmoozing with heads of state, drumming up support for UNICEF. mentoring young athletes -- you name it. They will have to set up a special television network just for her public appearances -- all Yuna, all the time.
Mathman, there is a word in your post that is missing a letter ... and now it's a completely different word.
I think she will be back for Pyeongchang. It's possible she could win there too. She'll still only be 27 years old.
Dont you remember in 2010 worlds, korean fed did forced her to compete? 2014 World, even also 2018 Olympics, korean fed can do such a thing to her. I guess.I don't think she will compete at Pyeongchang.
1) She has said she won't, and I believe her.
2) Why would she risk it? She would be at the very, very end of her career, risking losing in her own country. Why would anyone go up against that pressure?
Edit: by the way, I don't doubt Yuna could win. I'm just saying why would it even be worth the risk or worth dealing with the pressure?

They always want a lot of things from her, even though there is not much what they did for her
I thought she'd said before the 2010 Olympics that she was going to compete at 2010 Worlds no matter the result she got at the Olympics.

Though herself, she didnt said about it or complaint, that is well-known fact due to several articles...
ETA:Sorry, rather than 'be forced', 'be pressured'

I'll be very surprised if she doesn't win this time around.
I can't wait to see Yuna as THE face of the 2018 Games.
Hopefully by then Korea will have another medal contender to cheer for. I really hope to see So-Youn Park or Hae-Jin Kim blossom into wonderful skaters and continue Yu-Na's legacy.
As for Yu-Na in 2018, I do think she'll be heavily involved in promoting the games so it will be nice to see her sticking so close to it. Maybe she'll get a position on one of the news networks as a special correspondent for the duration of the games? Either way, I know we'll see a lot of her.
As far as her competing, I don't think that will happen. She said she plans to make Sochi her last competition and I believe her. Not only that but by that time she will have done so much for her federation, I don't understand how they could possibly bring themselves to ask/force/pressure her to compete yet again. At some point enough is enough...
