Watch Yuna Kim First Sochi Practice [VIDEO]: Olympics Gold Bid Looking Strong With 'Send In The Clowns' And 'Adios Nonino'!

Reigning Olympic figure skating Yuna Kim has arrived in Sochi for the second Olympics, and a video of her first practice session has surfaced.

In the video, we see Yuna Kim working on her trademark triple lutz-triple toe combination, as well as other her jumps and technical elements.

Although we don't hear any program music to go along with her practice, we can see Yuna Kim going over her jump layout for her free skate "Adios Nonino."

On Wednesday, Yuna Kim left Seoul for Sochi to the ladies figure skating competition, and NTD reports that despite Julia Lipnitskaia having gold medal buzz, she is unfazed by the young rising star.

"It doesn't help me to pay too much attention to how others perform. What's most important is getting the scores I have targeted," says Yuna Kim to reporters.

"Unlike (Lipnitskaia), this is my last Olympics bid so it's different for me."
Should Yuna Kim win another gold medal at Sochi, she will become only the third woman to win two Olympic gold figure skating medals after Sonja Henie and Katarina Witt.

”At that time and this time it’s very different, the situation, the skills of the athletes," says Yuna Kim according to Canada.com.

"Many people talk about winning two straight gold medals, but I'm not focusing on defending the title. I just hope to do everything I've prepared to do," says Yuna Kim.

"As long as I can do that, I think the results will follow and I should be able to end my career without regrets."

But Yuna Kim will have some heavy competition, and not just from Lipnitskaia. Her main rival Mao Asada as well as 2012 world champion Carolina Kostner will pose heavy threats for gold.

Do you think Yuna Kim looks like she has the goods to deliver again?
