They are like: "no, missy only has me as her favourite, you should go"
This is her SP in the TE, with CBC comment: https://vimeo.com/106919278
What they are saying here is so my thoughts: " Almost 73 points and STILL no smile!"
She never kinda does fist pumps or jumps around after a flawless skate. Because this is no unique achievement for her! A clean skate seems to be her Standart, what she is ....pleased with. Anything less and her face just falls. The only time she showed at least some emotion as a senior was after her FS at Europeans, because she delivered perfectly even though she had bad practices and couldn't hit her jumps there.
She has very high standards and expects a lot from herself but is so humble at the same time.
Yeah, someon said it in a mean way. I don't get why people think Yulia doesn't smile. she smiles a lot and I have showed them photos of her smiling and having fun. They still think she lacks emotions. Oh my Lord!I agree, and to think that some said at worlds this girl isn't happy unless she's winning.
Carol Lane comment makes me laugh here: "Well done me."

I know so many people misinterpret that! It's not like she can only smile when she wins, she doesn't skate to beat others, she always tries to beat herself. (If that makes sense)
That's what I meant by her having high standards.
Also she doesn't act for the cameras. Many skaters smile and act happy even though their score is way lower than it should be or despite a bad skate, because they feel like they have to play the part.
Yulia isn't like that, she's very... authentic I would call it.

Which is why once she does more competitions and can better handle her nerves, she will become as serene and calm as Yuna, but with a steely determination to win, too. This is why I think Yulia could own the next quad outright.
Thank you Alba!
Look at this after SL, it will cheer you upI am still crying.
Thank you Alba!
So... what else do you have?
I want every single commentary from Yulia's 13-14 season: Italian, Spanish, Eskimo, Mbutu, Klingonian and Latin!
Lets look at Olympic TE. I have:
- FS: BBC,CBC,CCTC1,CCTV5,IRC,NBCHD,NBCSN,NTV+,СПОРТ 1,official yt Olympic feed,
- SP: BBC,CBC,NBCHD,NBCSN,NTV+,TV ASAHI, СПОРТ 1.
Do you have more?
PS. I'd especially love to hear Italian/Spanish/French commentary!

(Alba I roamed through your amazing videos )
And I just want to acknowledge THIS skate again! When she finishes: "The big, BIG skate of Carolina Kostner, people, a big exclamation mark!"
So true, this was such an outstanding skate, after all she had been through and I think between Yuna Kim's last skate, Yulia's emergence to stardom and Adelina's seemingly out of nowhere triumph, the greatness of Carolina in Sochi kinda got lost.
Outstanding performance for Caro
:thumbsup:I think she gave her 200% in both programs and IMO these were the best performances of her life.
I think at least silver!:thumbsup:
I gotta ask this:
Where do you guys think Yulia would have finished if she had skated two clean programs in Sochi?
I'd really like to hear your thoughts on that (without bashing any of the other skaters of course)
:thumbsup:

If Yulia went clean, then this is my choice:
SP Caro 1st, Yuna 2nd, Yulia 3rd
LP: Mao 1st (8 triples you know), Yulia 2nd, Caro 3d, Adelina 4th, Yuna 5th.
