You Young, 11-year-old South Korea figure skating champ, signs with Yuna Kim’s agency

You Young, the 11-year-old who broke Yuna Kim‘s record as South Korea’s youngest-ever national figure skating champion, signed a three-year deal with Kim’s management agency, according to South Korean media.

“I began skating after seeing Kim win the gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics,” You said, according to the Korea Times. “I have always dreamed of becoming a respectable figure skater like Kim. I’m honored to have joined her agency.”

You, who is 4 feet, 7 inches, according to Agence France-Presse, landed seven triple jumps in her free skate at the South Korean Championships last week.
