I'll never forget the way the crowd was for the 2013-14 WC Ladies SP and especially when the second to last group skated. Mao, Kanako, and Akiko one after the other. It was so intense! I swear the fans were just downright going bonkers. It was electric and one of my favorite moments being a fan of this sport.
Probably a good moment to remind people that the Sochi crowd was not a proper figure skating crowd, therefore it was actually entirely probable that the majority of people there had never seen Yulia spin before!.
During the team event at Sochi I don't think the majority of people in attendance had ever seen Julia spin. Watch this video (sorry I can't time stamp Vimeo) starting at 2:14

I swear....when she goes into the iSpin she looked like she was going to stay perfectly centered but I think the crowd startled her when the went all screamy and what not.
Sorry if you thought I was being unclear. I actually thought it was a pretty well known fact that all Olympic events are attended by "newbie" type fans. That is why I was setting the scene when I said I thought the "majority" of people in attendance hadn't seen her spin before. I should hardly think to call them "improper" though. Just thought the crowds crazy reaction to the spins was noteworthy for this particular thread. Sorry if you disagree.
I/K my babies:sad4::sad21::sad4:I recently watched the last group of the Olympic FD and this reaction was downright insane: http://youtu.be/0eIVX3U-Kiw
Nothing like a home crowd at the Olympics...
