Four years later, not much has changed. Back after a two-year hiatus, Kim needed one competition to show she is the one to beat at the Sochi Olympics. And good luck trying. Her sc...

And another Olympic gold medal might not be far behind. Back at the World Figure Skating Championships after a two-year absence, Kim Yu-na looked as if she'd never been away Saturday night.
