In Vancouver I was mesmerized by Yuna's skating especially her free skate. This time not very much. I was disappointed because she seemed so detached from it all. One had to be a fool to think that Judges don't notice.

I agree. No motivation - stay home or prepare a program that worth gold - do 7 triples or come with something new. No one gonna give you gold for skating pretty.
Why come and steal a medal from other skater who give their lives for a medal? The silver should of belonged to Kostner and Bronze should of been Gracie Gold's. Kim's unmovitation affected not only herself, but others too. So selfish.
I changed the title to a question because it seemed disrespectful to YuNa as it was. Of course, she tried.
You literally just posted this in another thread. Stop spammingIf you took a different girl with a different name and gave her EXACTLY the same performance as Yuna did, she would not make the top five. Easier technical program, no choreography, no speed and no energy, no connection, bored face. Maybe 6th or 7th, somewhere around Ashley.

I agree with you. I was underwhelmed by her programs last year. Last year's were far better (as were Vancouver's, of course).
Yuna has been saying herself that Adios Nonino was her hardest free skate yet.
i think it's fine what you say because it's a complete preference. But objectively, I just wanted to add that the program wasn't intended to be exciting but reflective, emotive, and nuanced.

How about this, if Adelina skated exactly the same performance as she did but she's from a country OTHER than Russia, where do you think she'd placed?

One thing for sure - Yuna might have been able to pull of Adelina's program with the same vigor and even additional gracefullness. Adelina will never be able to pull off any one Yuna's programs. Her artistry is just not there, at least not yet.
Yuna's programs and performances will remain in people's minds for a long time and people will revisit her performance on youtube. Adelina may have won gold and Russians may be proud of that, but I don't know how many Russians remember her performance rather than her medal color.
Yuna was so popular coming in to this competition - was it because people wanted to see competition? People have been interested in finding out what her programs will be, what costumes she will wear, and what kind of choreography she will show starting at the moment she finishes her last season. People want to see her.
Winning at Olympics over Yuna doesn't make up for all this, so Yuna fans needn't really worry even if the medal color ends up not changing.
