Please, correct me if I am wrong... I saw in a figure skating forum that a flip can also be called "toe-salchow", since they are kinda similar.

Yuna has certainly gone through a lot of hardship, but I would say that is the case for all elite figure skaters, and they have all gone through hard training to succeed. Being from a smaller country can have disadvantages that you mentioned such as all the pressure, etc. but the flip side of that is that there are so many endorsement opportunities. Those same opportunities are not available in the US even to very successful figure skaters such as Michelle Kwan because the US simply has too many other famous athletes competing for attention and people don't really care about figure skating here. Leaving to train in another country is something quite a few skaters have done, like Arakawa and Yagudin. Dealing with injuries and adversity is something almost all athletes have had to do as well. Elena Bereznhaya had an almost fatal skull fracture and an abusive partner. Irina Slutskaya had a sick mother, she herself had heart problems and vasculitis for three years. Mao Asada had to deal with her mom dying. Joannie Rochette had to deal with that too, right before her Olympics competition. And of course no skater is immune from haters.

Yuna is grossly overscored in GOE and especially in PCS. Like Chan. But unlike the Canadian she actually deserved her wins, all of them. Just not with that score.
At the risk of being a troll, I think there is something in coolboogie's original post.
When you are going for the championship, look like a champion, conduct yourself like a champion, take the ice with a champion's attitude.
Do not skate to lightweight music in a silly costume. You own the ice, you are the one the audience has been waiting all evening for.

As a skater of many years and a coach I can tell you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with Carolinas flip, her triple flip is perfect, TBH I don't see how one could have a salchow like flip the weight has to be over the right side on a flip take off or the toe will slip for it to be like a salchow the weight would have to be over the opposite side. hope that clears it upCan explain me, please, what is salchow-like technique? I do not know what this means. Sorry for the inconvenience.
