I just saw the news on icenetwork that Naomi Nari Nam is retiring from skating:

(10/10/2008) - Naomi Nari Nam, who gained fame as a 13-year-old singles skater then overcame injury to build a new career as a pairs competitor, announced her retirement Friday.
"Recently, I received some sad news from my doctors," the 23-year-old said. "After successful hip surgery last year, the new cartilage in my hip is being compressed when I skate. By continuing, I risk damaging it again. So it is with heavy heart, and the consideration for my future health, that I have decided to retire from competitive skating."
I'm sad to hear the news--I've always liked her skating and was really rooting for her in pairs.
