Actually, this video clip is from 2009 Skate America competition as the banners indicate. It was the second Grand Prix event for Yu-Na this competitive season, and her routine to the James Bond Medley earned her highest points ever for the short program. Of course, she had to beat the old world record for the short program, which coincidentally was her short program score from the 2009 World Figure Skating Championships held in Los Angeles, skated with equal vitality and passion to Danse Macabre (Camil Saint Saens).
