But as it often does, the Internet found an additional reason to celebrate Yun: his helmet. That’s right, Yun’s helmet looks strikingly like [_Iron Man’s_](http://time.com/4394478/iron-man-riri-williams-tony-stark/) outfit, complete with red and gold coloring and glowing eyes. Yun led his competitors after the first two runs, according to [NBC News](http://www.nbcolympics.com/news/yun-sung-bin-delivers-gold-give-south-korea-its-first-skeleton-medal), and he won his gold by a significant 1.63 seconds. Nikita Tregubov, one of the Olympic Athletes from Russia, came in second place, and Great Britain’s Dom Parsons came in third.

I decided [00:03] to work with a choreographer named Lori Nicoles, and [00:06] she had watched this movie called Mao's Last Dancer. [00:09] [ MUSIC ] We listened to [00:14] the soundtrack and she fell in love with it immediately. [00:16] And so she pitched the idea. I realized his story's [00:19] pretty similar to my parents' story. And I figured that's [00:21] a cool connection for me and something that I can [00:24] potentially portray this season through my skating, [00:26] through my artistry. [ MUSIC ] [00:31] I'm opening up the program thinking about the first [00:33] element. The music is very dramatic. The first few [00:36] seconds of choreography matches the music really [00:38] well. And it just kinda draws attention and I think. And [00:41] that's kinda the idea that we were going for there [00:43] [ SOUND ] [ APPLAUSE ] After [00:49] that first jump I was See fairly that I hit that. I think it's [00:52] definitely, if not the hardest, it definitely puts a lot, I [00:55] use a lot of mental energy to do that jump properly. [00:57] And so mostly just trying to breathe, trying to relax [01:00] and then figure out where I need to position myself for [01:02] the next jump. Because placement of the jump is [01:04] pretty crucial in terms of doing a successful jump. So [01:08] this is my second jump Pretty standard I [01:12] mean it was pretty much exactly as I'd expect it to go. [01:16] Mostly right now I'm just trying to breathe, trying [01:20] to relax a little bit around the corner, so that I have [01:24] energy for this next jump. [ MUSIC ] So spins are a big [01:28] part of our score as well and we just have to make [01:30] sure that we get the rotations, the number in. And then [01:32] also making sure our positioning is correct in terms of, [01:35] if our leg drops we lose a level. If we don't hold the [01:38] revolution we lose a level. There's a lot of other little [01:40] things. [ MUSIC ] That's my footwork section right now. [01:45] In general It's the best moment where you can express [01:47] yourself. You can interpret the music the best. The [01:50] judges can really see cuz it's such a long period of [01:52] time and the judges can really see how you use your [01:54] edges, How you are expressing yourself through the [01:58] movement. So this part mostly is just recovering, [02:01] resting. At this point in the program I've still got a little [02:05] more than half gallon of gas in the tank. [ MUSIC ] This [02:10] is the moment in the movie where he sees his parents, [02:14] so it's a very touching moment. It's based on a very [02:18] Modern and American theme, but there's a lot of [02:21] Chinese influence in the music. You can hear it in the [02:23] instruments. And then after these next two jumps, it [02:26] switches completely away from the Chinese aspect. [02:27] [ APPLAUSE ] The [02:32] second half of the program, we get an 1. 1 bonus. And [02:35] so typically we try to backload the end of the program, [02:37] so that tends to Take away from the program to some [02:40] extent sometimes. And it kinda decreases our speed, [02:43] as all the jumps are happening really quickly after [02:46] each other. [ MUSIC ] [02:48] Say I miss one of the jumps, there's tons of calculations [02:51] that have to go in your head as soon as you make a [02:53] mistake, you are following the guidelines of the rule [02:55] book. I'm the only skater currently that can do all five [02:59] quads. And so having that That technical difficulty in [03:02] my arsenal allows me to manipulate the program [03:06] however I want during the competition. [ MUSIC ] [03:10] So at this point, I'm pretty gasp. But it was part of the [03:13] music, starts building, and it gets really, really [03:15] powerful, so I have to make sure that I express that. [03:18] Happiness, but also just sheer power. [ MUSIC ] [03:20] [ INAUDIBLE ] [ MUSIC ] [ APPLAUSE ] Ultimately, I will [03:23] only potentially [03:29] be able to go to like two Olympics in my whole entire [03:31] life. So really just enjoying that moment, embracing [03:33] that moment, just feeling the energy from the [03:36] audience, and just really being present.
