2014 Cup of China Ladies Free Skate 11/08

How's it nonsense when I quoted directly from the website :think:?
This doesn't make me think about her any differently--not good PR or judgement, certainly, but on a list of rash things people have done, this is hardly very severe. Frankly, it hurts no one more than Yulia, as the negative comments on this thread can attest to. For her to not go out despite the PR disaster, I can only conclude she was genuinely very upset.
That being said, the organizer does have the right to cut down on prize money. It's in the contract, it's a reasonable demand, and certainly this shouldn't set up a precedent.
But no, this isn't the same as Michelle or Yuna not showing up on Nagano or Sochi. Firstly, it's a GP, not the Olympics. Secondly, Michelle and Yuna lost while skating well, so not attending clearly sends the message of being unhappy with the judging. Yulia skated terribly, and not attending just shows that she was upset with herself.

Of course I would.
Despite being unhappy with the judging, Michelle and Yuna STILL both attended the awards ceremony and skated in the gala. If anything they had more reason not to attend if it was an issue with the judging.
This is very immature and very unprofessional behaviour from Yulia. Yes, you can be upset, but you still have your obligations.
If there is a villain in skating right now, it is a judge.
Who was the technical caller and what country were they from? Why were the Americans judged so harshly compared to others? I don't agree with the 'e' calls Polina got on her flips. How was Julia able to hold on to the silver after THAT? It is so unbelievable.
This is an example of why the judging system is so messed up. There is no way Polina should have been 4th overall when Julia was able to be 2nd. Enough is enough. No more anonymous judging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And for goodness sake, get rid of Speedy. He's been president since before Tara Lipinski won her OGM in 1998. ***?

Eh, with the amount of vitriol that people are spewing her way, I don't blame her if she decides to take this season off.
I give her a pass on this. She probably wanted the earth to swallow her after that LP. I've been 16 before and reacted way more poorly than she did in competitive events (not skating) when I screwed up.

Lipnitskaya seems, above all, a young girl who takes her craft and her sport VERY seriously. I can't imagine why she would miss the award ceremony so I do think there is a bit more to the story. Whether or not we'll find out, I don't know, but I'm not going to immediately label this act as one of arrogance/disrespect.

She'll probably get a pass for this, But seriously,
Have you ever seen even a junior skater do something like this?
She's a part of a team too, Can they not contain her?
I hope they're somehow penalised, But that she keeps skating this season and does really really well

How wonderful that we are all perfect human beings & never do anything wrong yet will take the high-road & can not let a 16 year old girl get upset (!).

Such a lack of respect towards Liza and Kanako :disapp: And what a lame excuse. Shame on her and on her team.
Am I gonna be labelled as an ugly hater? Do it, who cares, this word is getting so overabused it means nothing now.

When I was 16 I would not even get out of bed on time. She is 16. Did all of us do everything right at 16 ?.
She is still a child in many way's.
Some people just love to slate another person. It's like it's all you have in life.
Julia has shown more maturity in her 16 years than some people on here have in their entire lives.
If she was my little sister & was upset or ill I would have told her to do the same thing.
Maybe she made an error. Have any of you done that or are you all so perfect ?.

She made an error? Ok, then she has to apologize to her competitors, to the organizers, to her fans in the audience, to those who were at home and also to those who don't care about her but had to attend such a chindish behaviour from a figure skating champion who is 16, a young lady, not a kid at her first competion.
And please, don't bring out that "Oh and you're all so perfect, right?" stuff, it's lamer than the excuse they gave.

It was only yesterday. Give her time.
You seem very angry over a young girls actions.
Are you feeling alright ?.
