the outburst, every time I watch it.......

Thank you for these, they're beautiful :) I'm surprised that, of her 4 programs after her comeback, Les Mis is the most popular of them. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that FS, but SitC & KotV are such special music choices & her Adios Nonino is so underappreciated imho. I wish they all were recognized as being as special as they are in my eyes :love:

Yyyskate, Thanks for making my day. The lyrics sure do make the emotional elements of this program shine all that much more. What a pity the ISU didn't change their policy on lyrics earlier. Thanks again. I'm gonna watch this a few more times.

Thank you so much for this! SITC with lyrics is so beautiful. Adios is an under-appreciated masterpiece. I wish it could have received a more worthy crowd and scores.

It's nearly a year after Sochi and I'm still not over it. I don't think there will ever be closure to it. *sigh
Yuna has done so much and more than enough for that second gold. It could have been historical and majestic. Instead, we have controversies and frustrations.

2000th Post!!! Huge Mile stone... Just want to say I am only here because of initial interest on Yuna from Vancouver, what an incredible skater she is. She made this sport so special.... take it beyond sport into Art.
Her life's highs and lows are all in her programs!! What a lovely tapestry she had weaved for figure skating history...

Totally agree!! :clap: I cannot stop rewatching her programs.

For instance, despite the fall, her Lark Ascending is heavenly.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM3VgwNBUns

The kind of lightness she brings on ice cannot be matched by anyone, still.

^^ agreed, I was watching Yuna's snow storm, junior, and early senior programs, these days, just for the reference to current young talents, I have to agree her lightness and fluidity cannot be matched by anyone, still.."she floats"

I cannot think of a proper English words to describe Yuna's beauty. and here is one Chinese character, also her name written in Kanji
according to Wikidictionary
妍 (radical 38 女+4, 7 strokes, cangjie input 女一廿 (VMT), four-corner 41440, composition ⿰女开)
beautiful, handsome
seductive

the right side of the character means, openness.

and here is another Chinese character, I instantly associated with Yuna when I first saw her in person (she was wearing KoV makeup then) and when I saw her Adios opening pose.
媚 (radical 38 女+9, 12 strokes, cangjie input 女日竹山 (VAHU), four-corner 47467, composition ⿰女眉)
charming, attractive
flatter

and the right side of the character means eyebrows.
The beauty of Yuna's eyebrows, and that acting/connotation of her eyebrows (especially in Adios) perhaps, only a person with oriental cultural background can truly understand.

quote a Chinese poem here.
"媚眼如嬌合,丹唇逐笑分"
perhaps, some Chinese culture guru can translate this. I just google it, and feel it suits Yuna:biggrin:

I feel "媚“ perhaps is a bit too rich for Yuna? I would use 雅.I feel she is more a white lily vs. a red rose. :)
