Hi everyone – does anyone happen to know who made the ink painting on this banner (screenshot) from Worlds in 2011? I would love to find a print version of it.
I might be one of the few people who liked Kiss of the Vampire. Even though it was nowhere near Danse, Tango, or James Bond, I thought it was mysterious. Like Caro's comeback SP this season. They are different from their usual routines.
Tango de Roxanne was better than Adios Nonino in terms of interpreting the highs and lows of the music. It was fiery and just exciting to watch. When I first heard Yuna was doing a tango as her last LP, I was so excited because I thought it was gonna be like Tango de Roxanne. Not that Adios wasn't great but the passion and fire of a tango seemed a little lost in the choreography and music. It was, as you said, a little one-note.
Hi guys, pretty new here. And this thread is... wow, 330 pages... so much Yuna love.
I disagree though that Yuna's Adios was one-note. There was so much nuances in the choreography that I was so hooked, just like Send In The Clowns (the pause she makes 3/4 in the Step Sequence with her hands on the back was just... it was just like taking a deep cleansing breath). Both programs screamed quiet elegance to me, and as much as I liked Danse and Bond (both made me say "yessss!" while I was watching them), what I realized was that those programs made me smile, made me root for her... but Send In The Clowns and Adios and Les Mis touched my heart, so...

I like Adios a LOT. But it's because everything Yuna did there was in time with the music, even the crossovers (the 3-turn before the 3F was so soo musical). It's unreal. It is indeed a masterpiece when it comes to nuances and Yuna performing the way she did (tho not her absolute best level IMO, which is amazing because it's already great and it's not even her very best). I always say that Adios is a great example if skaters want to learn about musicality and timing. BUT my opinion is that the arrangement of the music falls short in excitement when compared to the variety in tempo of, say, El Tango de Roxanne. Just my two cents
I agree so much with Send in the Clowns and Les Mis. SITC is just absolutely beautiful. Too bad it was under appreciated in Sochi. Should've been a world record.
President Moon promised to lead 2018 Pyeonchang to success. President Moon is also known to be a huge fan of Yuna. The meeting of two big names excite the public in korea.

I tried to watch Yuna's Olympic adios and send in the clowns performances with these comments in mind but i still don't feel the same excitement and rush that I get from El tango or Danse Macabre or even her Olympic 2010 Gershwin LP. There was an energy and raw yearning in her 2010 and prior performances that I can't find in her pieces post Olympic gold.
Adios is one of the greatest programs ever. A must for any student of Figure Skating to watch not just for performance and musicality but because the moves (however basic or advanced) were so precise. It was textbook.
Skating probably the most musically challenging, complex and intricately choreographed program of all time
I agree with everything else you said, but this - no. At least you added to the second statement that Yuna's Olympic performance was the best of all time to you personally. Still, I think only people who are ubers of just one skater and don't really know/haven't seen/paid attention to much else can say things like this.Best of all time! (at least to me)
