You Young (born May 27, 2004) is a South Korean figure skater. She is the 2018 JGP Slovakia bronze medalist and the two-time South Korean national champion (2016, 2018). She became the youngest ever national champion of South Korea at age 11, surpassing the previous record set by Yuna Kim who won at age 12 in 2003. You finished within the top ten at the 2018 World Junior Championships.

Personal life

You Young is the third child and only daughter of her father, You Il-jin, who runs a business in Indonesia, and mother, Lee Sook-hee. She moved to Indonesia at the age of two because of her father's business, and spent her youth in Singapore.

Career

Early career

You Young began skating after watching Yuna Kim's victory at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Though maintaining South Korean nationality, she was raised in Singapore and trained under various coaches and competed in the Singapore National Figure Skating Championships from 2011 to 2013.

One of her coaches was Singapore-based Zhang Wei, a former Chinese national ice dancer who won gold with partner Wang Rui at the 1999 Asian Winter Games, who she trained with for a six-month period in 2012. Zhang said her talent was evident even then and told TODAY: "She's not the most talented athlete I've coached. But her jumps, explosive energy, flexibility and coordination were very good then, and it is very rare that you get all these qualities in one athlete, particularly at that age." He is confident that You has what it takes to become a future world and Olympic champion. On his advice, You returned to South Korea with her mother in March 2013 to further her development as the training environment is better.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

2015–2016 season: National title

In January 2016, You Young won the gold medal at the 2016 South Korean Figure Skating Championships, becoming the youngest ever national champion of South Korea at age 11, surpassing the previous record set by Yuna Kim who won at age 12 in 2003.

In March, You won the gold medal at novice level of the Cup of Tyrol.

2016–2017 season

In November 2016, You won the silver medal at novice level of the Tallinn Trophy behind Alena Kanysheva (Russia).

In January 2017, she finished 5th at the 2017 South Korean Figure Skating Championships mainly because of a fall in the short program.

2017–2018 season: Junior international debut and Second national title

You debuted on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in September 2018, placing 4th in Zagreb, Croatia. In October, she placed 5th in a JGP event in Egna, Italy.
