The 2010 Olympic gold medalist Kim Yu-na, who has competed in just two events since returning to the sport after an 18-month layoff, is already being mentioned as the overwhelming favorite to win the upcoming World Championships.

Kim scored over 200 points at both the NRW Trophy in Germany and the national figure skating championships in Seoul last weekend to claim both prizes.

Sports Illustrated said her performance to the original soundtrack of the musical "Les Misérables" showed she is still in peak form.
