One thing for sure, She's the most beautiful skater on the ice I've ever laid my eyes on. I can't get enough of her. For me it's always Yuna and the rest of them. I'm sorry, the other skaters.

I feel like there's something missing from it. I feel like her last program just had a bit more, choreography wise.

With her gold medal from last Olympic, Yuna could skate whatever she wants. I think that her LP is very unique and experimental. This is a good contrast to her new SP, which represents the traditional figure skating style. Good strategy. I can't wait to see her compete on Ice again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-67843583308805669872011-04-27T12:55:19.382-07:002011-04-27T12:55:19.382-07:00Chairwoman Mao of Tsunami-ravaged, radiation-plagu...Chairwoman Mao of Tsunami-ravaged, radiation-plagued Japan vs. Yu Na Kim Jong Il of United K(orea)-Town: let the reparations for Comfort Women begin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-2812089922863935732011-04-27T12:14:46.633-07:002011-04-27T12:14:46.633-07:00I don't see anybody beating a clean Yuna, unle...I don't see anybody beating a clean Yuna, unless Mao pulls off the skate of her life with two fully rotated triple axles plus 3flip-3loop combo. <br /><br />This program, even in its infant stage, is stunningly beautiful and I am very anxious to see its full rendition on Saturday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-19007780924089359352011-04-27T10:34:04.063-07:002011-04-27T10:34:04.063-07:00I'm not as wowed by this program as I imagined...I'm not as wowed by this program as I imagined I'd be. I'm not that impressed, and I'm a little perturbed b/c I'm a huge Yu-Na fan! It may be b/c it's a practice clip and the distraction of other skaters and the fact that she stopped mid program a couple of times so I couldn't really get into the program. I like Giselle b/c you can see that she's reaching to portray emotion and tell a story; plus it has some really pretty moments in it. For me, I can't point to a particular moment in Arriang where I'm like, "Oh, that's gorgeous!"<br /><br />In terms of technical content, Yu-Na's isn't as difficult as it used to be but she's still the only woman w/ a consistent 3-3 that isn't a 3t-3t, plus she does her jumps well which usually garners high +GOE marks, so I'm not worried about the slight base point differential.<br /><br />Hopefully that added spark of competition and the full package delivery will change my mind about her program, but as of right now, I think Mao's LP is better. Granted, I've seen Mao's program all season and seen it evolve into the masterpiece that it is now. I really feel it's the best program she's ever had and, finally, she'll be on even footing with Yu-Na when it comes to artistry which means it's anyone's game. Last season if Yu-Na went clean that was it; hands down, she won even if Mao was clean. THIS season I think it'd be possible for a clean Mao to beat a clean Yu-Na because Mao finally has a program with some substance to it.<br /><br />In the end, it'll come down to execution for both of them. Mao has to hit on all of her jumps to make up for the lack of +GOEs she gets, and Yu-Na has to hit on her jumps to make up for her lesser base value. If they're both clean, it'll be a tough decision. Either way, this oughta be good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-85565091939123334772011-04-27T09:43:36.008-07:002011-04-27T09:43:36.008-07:00We probably were just as annoying in the Kwan/Lipi...We probably were just as annoying in the Kwan/Lipinski/Cohen/Slutskaya era.

She didn’t want to compete at last year’s world championships in Turin, totally spent after winning at the Olympics under intense pressure. But a visit from a Korean figure skating official to her then training base in Toronto convinced her to change her mind."<br /><br />And said Wilson. “When all the dust was settled, she was left with ‘Do I want to do this and why?’ It took her a while, but I see her now she’s not even skating for the medals. She’s skating for herself probably the first time.”<br /><br />I'm just happy to see her at Worlds again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-60722465889740200002011-04-26T23:08:19.993-07:002011-04-26T23:08:19.993-07:00What a beautiful program and gorgeous music.
