Yankun is a unique skater... She is a very Soft, Quiet, and Graceful stroker.
she began skating at the age of 4 in a outdoor rink... much like her idol Chen Lu.
Yankun was 2nd at her nationals in 1998 and was nearley put on the olympic team for China... LuLu faught hard and long at the Gran Prix and earned the spot away from Yankun.
I first saw Yankun at the 98 worlds Short Program... she was one of the Few Skaters who had a Triple Lutz-Triple Toe Combonation in the Short. She nearley had!
A mistake on a Salchow and a Hand Down on and (2) axel... latched her down to 30th place...
Dick Button really likes her Skating.. and once commented that she had and Understated Line and a Quietness about herself.
Yankun did not compete at her Nationals.. and did not go to worlds... i have heard aligations of Yankun coming back this year! I don't know... But I will let you know.. when I find out!
