Who Will Skate at the Gala?

Well I caught this Gala on some webcast the other day, and I was blown away by The King's exhibition skate! Honestly, I enjoyed it more than both his SP & FS put together. That's the old king, the one I miss the most. Here's hoping he does something phenomenal like this when he comes back for Sochi in 2014.:rock:

I suppose I'm too late to catch any of the exhibition skates on NBC, but I didn't want to wade through all that, but here's hoping they repeat it sometime in the future, as the only one I'm interested in saving on my Olympic tape is Zhenya's. :)


he was just out-of-this-world stunning in his exhibition number. the passion, the competitive spirit! never saw the like. loved the number to death! yea, he should skate to something this passionate in his long.... strong, passionate numbers go well with him...

:agree: kudos to her

ETA: I just found pictures of the layback on Yuna's forum. Judge for yourself.

http://yunaforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1208&st=200 (you have to scroll down a little)

These are very nice photos, but none of the photos show the exact moment when she was completely turned out (at the very end of the spin when she had her arms pulled in to her chest). Still, the photos show her foot position to be better than in her competitive programs! I do hope that she continues to work on this as I do love a good turnout. Yuna's back position has always been lovely though. Gosh, there is so much to worry about when competing...Not only do skaters have to think about their multiple positions, they also have to count the number of revolutions between each of the changes.

Just found this fan video of Yuna's exhbition. It shows her layback much better than NBC's video
