I think her only problem is, how in the world is she going to top her Schindler's List program in the coming years? :think:
But then I get excited because I know that she will and I can't wait to see how she does it
Yeah, people expect from her high standarts now. It's not going to be easy.

I love last paragraph:
"And if the end of her programs brings you tears, don’t be confused with that. This means that your soul was touched by something unusually bright, kind and sincere."

lol that magic moment was a very scarring experience
I meant people shouting "Yulia, Yulia", not the unfortunate performance.

oh yea
crowd showed a lot of love in spite of performance. i still feel so bad for her. she knows she may have won. hopefully fate will bless her with another chance. but jeez she will have some stiff competition from her fellow russians. next few years should be something to see...I'm reviewing names and vids from thread on the other forum: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?89883-Anastasia-Gubanova-The-Next-Wonderbaby and I don't know if to be amazed by the rise of Russian Ladies FS Empire or worried about Julia's chances as her fan.
What's going on there is simply mind-boggling...
But judging by articles and interviews, Julia thrives on competition, so if her body allows, we may witness even greater magic from Girl in Red in upcoming years.

Will be quite a year...

There's no place for anger here, you can't buy people's love. Julia has "IT" , she can capture public imagination all over the world, she's a great mixture of talent, character, look, her whole personality is just magic and people relate to her because they can somehow sense that Julia and her trainer Eteri have done it on their own. As simple as that is the rerason, why people're giving standing ovation and go crazy when they watch Julia. Adelina is great too she might end up winning more than Julia but she'll never get the same reaction from the people.
^Honestly, I agree. She is very, very memorable and she possesses a certain kind of aura that makes you want to watch her all the time. Aside from the fact that it's obvious how she's worked her way up to the top without a horde of specialists prepared for her, she's also very honest. She's not going to hide what she feels and she thinks; she's not afraid of saying what's on her mind. Beyond that, when she skates you can just feel that there is something special about her, something that tugs at your heart and lets you see all the images she is trying to create. Adelina is talented, yes, but you get the sense that she's been protected and sheltered all this time. She's had plenty of big names in Russia backing her up, and she's always been touted as one of the most promising ladies amidst the depth of the Russian field. I think, because she's so "pampered" in a sense, she must be feeling some sense of entitlement to whatever scores and achievements she receives, and she never really gets the message that she has to lay everything out there until she feels like she is abandoned or she has something to prove (like what happened in Sochi when she was left off the roster for the Team event). She doesn't act until everything is on the line and she's desperate. But Julia doesn't operate the same way. When she skates, she skates for the performance and is severely disappointed in herself when she makes mistakes, though I'm glad she's learning to take it all in stride. That kind of mindset sets her apart from Adelina and it's the reason why so many people like her, because you can see that she works so hard and tries to give her best no matter what.
Let me add that you don't have to even be fan of figure skating to sense all of above. Many people watching FS rarely or even only at Olympics say her performances are beautiful and touching.
It was similar thing with Michael Jordan - people knowing nothing about basketball could recognize one special guy from amongst 10 running the floor.
There've been very few athletes in sports possessing that kind of poetry in motion, able to captivate and conquer completely inexperienced audience.

I know this doesn't sound alright but I wish I had a child like her to pamper!!
You know, I'm not sure she was abandoned at all in Sochi, regarding the team event. I think they did her a favor.
These are Buyanova's words, and this is not somebody who's been abandoned at all.
While from the article above:
It seems clear to me which "winning horse" they (the Fed) were backing.
Poor choice of words on my part. 
Abandoned in the sense that she was told she would be participating and then was promptly left off it entirely. Like I said, she had an entire team working with her not only during the Olympics but also this entire season. Certainly she wasn't abandoned by the federation -- but Adelina did not see it that way, though. The fact that she cried when she wasn't part of the roster is enough of an indication that she couldn't see she was actually being done a favor. If she'd gone to the Team event as well, there's a huge possibility that the hype will have gotten to her and it wouldn't have provided the same kind of motivation she had when she was struck off the list. hwell:

I understood your point, but tbh I'm not quite convinced about the story they were telling oh how and why they choose that team.
It made sense, giving the results, and the ladies individual were last event so they had more time to rest, but they could've chosen B&S for both SD&FD, if they wanted to "preserve" Yulia somehow. After all, she is 15 yrs of age.
Anyway, it's just my impression.
p.s. Vladislav Luchianov seems to love Yulia.
I don't buy their explanations, either. Obviously there is something more going on behind the scenes and yes, they could've just gone with B&S for both SD&FD. I mean, B&S won both segments during Russian Nationals -- and with a margin, to boot, their win wasn't narrow at all -- so there seems to be little sense in letting I&K substitute. With Adelina and Yulia, their margins over each other for both segments were pretty narrow, but it was still clear overall that Adelina had the SP and Yulia had the LP. So, really -- if they'd truly considered preserving both skaters who had a chance to fight for gold in the individual event, they should have split the work between them.
Who wouldn't love Yulia? She is just precious.
