Just earlier this evening, figure skater Kim Yuna set a world record in the Olympics ladies figure skating short program to the excitement and pride of many fans and Koreans. Even though this wasn’t a medal event, the viewer ratings in Korea were off the chart!
The average ratings for the whole event was 33.7%. 61.5% of the people watching TV across the nation tuned in. When it was closer to Kim Yuna’s performance, the ratings went up quite a bit to 36.2%. 65.9% of the couch potatoes across the nation tuned in.
The ratings for the other Olympic events weren’t as high as this, which proves that Kim Yuna is one of the most famous athletes in Korea.
