If they put a clean julia over a clean yuna, they just don't do justice - -, i mean julia's ss, the quality of jumps are a mile apart from yuna...but if yuna bombs and julia is clean then of course she deserves her win, and the possibility of seeing mao clean is 0.5%, i hope she can finally skate a clean program in the olympics...
Fifteen-year-old Julia Lipnitskaia, fresh from becoming the youngest woman to win the European figure skating title, has now fixed her sights on emulating American Tara Lipinski who won the Olympic gold at the same age.
Lipinski, now 31, became the youngest individual gold medallist when she won at the 1998 Nagano Games, the year Lipnitskaia was born, after taking the world title the previous year, but retired immediately after her Olympic success.
If Lipnitskaya were to win the Olympic title, she would be at 15 years 260 days old, the 2nd youngest Ladies skater to ever win the title, missing the record of being the youngest by just 5 days (held by Tara Lipinski - 15 years 255 days old when she won in 1998). The current 2nd youngest is Sonja Henie, who was 15 years 315 days old when she won the title in 1928. Moreover, in winning at Euro's, Lipnitskaya became the youngest skater to win the European title
My problem with Julia possibly landing on the podium at the Olympics, is that her jumps are like little tiny hops, there is no real "jump" there. I'm sorry, but Olympic level jumps should look their name "olympic" not "miniature".
Wow, I remember it was the first OG I watched it. And it is scary that is Lipinski and Lipintskaya too .However, its frightening to think that when Tara Lipinski won the Olympic title on the 20th February 1998, Julia Lipnitskaya had not yet even been born. She was born on the 5th June 1998 - 105 days after Tara's Opympic win. Doesn't time fly....!
Did anyone see Julia received +1s GOE on the 2A she botched the landing so bad she had to leave off the triple?
But it is improbable, Yuna and Katarina are rare cases.Well, Julia can go for the title of two-time olympic champion. If she wins gold medal in Sochi, I think she will continue competing all the way to PyeongChang in order to defend her olympic title. After all, She will be only 19 yrs old by then.
Well, you know what they say, "NEVER SAY NEVER"...

Julia should be receiving close to 60 PCS not 70. There's no reason for her PCS to be that high, and her GOEs on the jumps should almost always be ~0.
Make no sense, sorry.It would be close, overall. Yu Na would probably still win based on the GOE on her jumps and she probably gets the edge on PCS. But this would be one that would be argued about for a long time, just like Kwan and Lipinski.
ItaMake no sense, sorry.
How can the clean Yuna win over clean Julia would be argued??????
Instead, if the clean Julia win over clean Yuna that will be a huge upset for skating world, no matter how inflated home ice could scored
