They never had their medals taken away. a 2nd gold medal was awarded to the Canadian couple as well.
So is Yuna retiring? I had not heard about this until now.

It there a link for this 'threat' being made?
Yuna won't be skating in 2018, and Korea has no upcoming figure skaters even remote good enough to win an Olympic medal in 4 years. You think they'll give a gold to some Korean skater ranked 35th in the world?
Figure skating is like boxing, often controversial with their judging. Like that Russian pair that had their gold medal taken away in favor for a Canadian in 2002. |

She retired after Sochi, well retired from amateur competition, and she didn't compete in the 2014 Worlds. Going pro in figure skating is skating for Disney on Ice, and getting good money. But Yuna already has her Samsung, Asics sponsorship deals to cover until she's old and grey.
Also, most figure skaters 'retire' before 25. Most medalists in figure skating are in their late-teens, or early-20's. And Yuna would be 28 in 2018, well older then rest of the most of the field. |

Asian soccer is pretty weak. No South American, European, and African teams to put a stop to them. Just the Japanese, South Korean, Iranians, Iraqis, and maybe the Saudis. |
