Gold Skate

Here are some more information for Gold Skate:

Billabong wetsuits were born on the shores of Australia by local surfer Gordon Merchant and aided by his wife Rena Merchant. Since Gordon was a surfer, he understood the importance of comfort while surfing. In 1973 he and his wife began creating their own style of surfing shorts. They sold these shorts in the local surf shops along the beaches and they quickly became a hit among the surfers.

Being known for excellent quality surf wear, Billabong made international popularity in the 1980s when they shipped to California, Japan, Europe and New Zealand. Throughout the history of Billabong, there are many people who are well known in the surfing world to sport the Billabong brand. Such people as Joe Engel, Munga Barry, Sunny Garcia and many more wear the Billabong sportswear.

Billabong has come a long way since their start and now provide sporting equipment for skate boarding and snowboarding as well. They design and create products that are durable and will last through whatever hardships they come across. These products include sports accessories as well as apparel. Some of the more popular sporting apparel is the Billabong wetsuit.

Though wet suits are designed to keep your body dry, they are also very good at holding on your body temperature. Holding in this heat is beneficial for many different reasons. When your body becomes cool, it can make you move much slower and can cause exhaustion much quicker. For surfers, you want to remain warm to keep your reflexes sharp and quick.

Billabong wetsuits are available in men's, women's and children's sizes so the whole family can enjoy the fun and excitement. There are actually several styles and models of the Billabong wet suits for you to choose from.

Kim Yuna Wins Gold

-->>Watch Kim Yuna Live at the Olympics

Kim Yuna may be the greatest figure skater of all time.  Kim began skating at age 7, when her coach predicted she would some day become the world champion.  Now she wins championship after championship, medal after medal.  Kim is the reigning World Champion, Four Continents Champion, and Grand Prix Fianl Champion.  Kim Yuna (Kim Yu-Na) was born in South Korea, but currently resides in Toronto where she trains.  Kim became such an icon in South Korea that she had no privacy to train.

Kim set a new world record on February 23rd, 2010 during the short program of the Winter Olympics.  Her score was 78.50 points, which is 4.72 points over her biggest rival, Mao Asada of Japan.  Her score was made up by two parts- technical and program components.  she had the highest technical score in the event, with 44.70.  Her James Bond theme helped her receive an excellent 33.80 score for program components.  Some of the highlights from the short program were her near-perfect triple lutz-triple toe loop, a double axel, and a triple flip.  she was also graded a level four for her tight spirals and spins. 

Vote:

Is Kim Yuna the greatest female figure skater ever?

Yes or No

 Under the new ISU judging system, Kim is the only female figure skater to earn +2.20 grade of execution for her jumps.  She also surpassed the 200 point mark, which she is the first female to do so.  If she continues to perform at this level through her remaining events, we will undoubtedly be watching as Kim Yuna wins gold at the Olympics. She is currently ranked number one in the world, and I suspect she will remain there for some time.
