Yulia Lipnitskaya

Thanks Sam-Skwantch , Sandpiper
I asked because theres a rumor that she will retiring.
Nice to hear that she will continue skating. Hope she comes back strong and sweep the podium next season.

BTW, I was watching several videos of her past performances last night on youtube and I read some disgusting comments towards her. Seriously, how can those people hate this talented,young girl.

The more the gift of God, the more evil of the envious. This gift cannot be trained. And cannot be bought. Let's take pity on them.:drama:
 
Do people really expect skaters to take all flowers with them, at home? :hopelessness: :biggrin:

p.s. Is someone making tech question or is it all about usless things? :rolleye:

There were a very few tech questions, including will you work on a triple axel, her reply was nikogdanizachto

I really enjoyed reading through the chat. It was really touching, many very beautiful expressions of personal affection. It was like reading letters to a beloved friend who has moved to a distant place. There are a few hundred thousand lovesick people out there. Yulia wanted to share common experience with fans, to answer their questions, to let them feel close to her again. So much Russian spirit can be found there. I think of it as an interview by those who love her. There are many important insights into her personality, especially for those who don't spend a lot of time following her.

For example, here is an exchange on Megappolis: Yet I can not say about the "Megapolis", it is now one of my favorite programs in FC, and it is clear that you really like it, ......... Anne , thank you, it is important that I liked it)

Her present attitude: And still wanted to ask you how you are struggling with the fear of failure and difficulty did you get a sense of life and quit the sport? ..... Bogdan , not fight, go and do. Today failures, tomorrow will go up. Previously worried now easier to treat. After this season, there is nothing to fear. And quit - too easy ... Богдан , никак не борюсь, иду и делаю. Сегодня провалюсь, завтра поднимусь. Раньше переживала, сейчас проще отношусь. После этого сезона уже ничего не страшно. А бросить - слишком просто...

The 4 year plan/future: I have a question for you: Are you going next Olympics? ...... Irina , I am going to😎

Upcoming program: Julia, and ideas for new programs already have? Or until all of the review process? ....... Dmitry , 😊while all in the process) Юля, а идеи на новые программы уже есть? Дмитрий, пока все в процессе) Also, somewhere else she mentioned end of April as the anticipated time for choosing the programs.

The realistic, grounded Yulia: I wish you happiness, health and good luck in Kotka and in life, what would you all loved. ....... Angelica , all love will never be, but it is not necessary))) Я желаю тебе счастья , здоровья, удачи на котке и в жизни, что бы тебя все любили . Анжелика, все любить никогда не будут, да оно и не нужно)))

Flowers is an important question for some. Not only are they are meant as a heartfelt gift, but more important, some mentioned including a letter placed in the bouquet.

There is much more. Many told her she changed their lives. Reading the questions and comments, together with her answers was an uplifting experience.

Many thanks to witcher for telling us about this event.


EDIT lenok, when reading the last few pages I notice you already posted some of the quotes which I used above. I no longer keep up with this thread on a daily basis, so I missed your earlier posts of the same material. My apologies, the borrowing wasn't intentional.

True that!

I’m so sad that Yulia won’t be at Worlds, but it’s great that she’s busy fixing her technical issues. Is Yulia going to start working on her programs in April? Knowing her I know the programs will be unique. I kind of want to see her perform a “dark” version of a program, maybe a dark “Alice in Wonderland” or something else. However, I’am not sure if she likes dark programs…especially since she never performed one. :think:

That's funny. Her last season struck me as an Alice in Wonderland experience.
 
What’s that suppose to mean?

Firebird, The bizarre series of events that she experienced last year, beginning with press at Sochi and ending with her last competition, remind me of Alice's adventure. Riddles without answers. Balls that are hedgehogs. Rules that change. A queen whose only response is to behead. One minute giant, next minute dwarf--but nothing ever fits. Even the Mad Hatter's tea party. As Cheshire Cat warned, everyone in this surreal world is mad. She could definitely put a personal stamp on Alice.
 
I really wonder if she'll move on from Ilya or not.

Sam, As I read the following question-answer from the chat, she is directly asked who will direct (choreograph), to which she gives no answer. Apparently this is undecided. Perhaps a choreographer will not be involved in choosing the music. Music selection and arranging were a big part of Ilya's job.

Q. A program for the new season have already begun to put? Who will be the director А программы на новый сезон уже начали ставить? Кто будет постановщиком?

A. Alexander , yet, in the end of April in the plans.
Александра, пока нет, в конце апреля в планах.

In that case, I completely agree!

I hadn't thought of Alice as a program. It could be brilliant, she would have a lot to tell us on that one. She'd probably wait a year or two in order to separate herself from the experience.

This is not a problem at all! Your summary is more detailed and with your own impressions! This is interesting.

Julia's Adidas vid had 570k views in 10 days, not bad... :yay:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEg47tzfU6E

Still, I like this "commercial" better:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et7BW5lR6Hc :laugh:

This is not slowing. Incredible. The video is over 1,603,000, don't blink. One million+ views in the last 6 days (under 600,000 in the first 10 days). She is still getting 150,000 views per day after two weeks, with greatest concentration when it is evening-to-midnight in Russia. That's an average of just under 2 views per second, every second for 6 days. Talk about personal magnetism. The Yulia tsunami. Were stock options part of her deal? Money problems are behind her. Except how to spend it.

That would be great, although I suppose the danger is she will perfect her programs... only to do a test skate, and have some stuffy old waxworks tell her "We don't like it. Do something else" >:-(

With World's just around the corner, I am saddened that the reigning silver medalist will not be there...

None of the last year medalists are competing. Sad fact after the Olympic season.

Yulia: "The video is very quickly made, nothing special, but the number of views surprise)".

She's still not aware of the popularity scale:). It is very cute and in her style.

Thanks, lenok. A self-made millionaire at age 16. Nothing special. After the sacrifices she made to become a great skater, the casual ease of financial success must seem surreal. Like a benign side effect. I'll bet Adidas is even more surprised with the number of views. Make her CEO, she can save that dying company single-handed.

She seems immune from the trappings of popularity-stardom. That is really unusual. Many prodigies quickly become insufferable, soon think of themselves as royalty. Yulia, on the other hand, has a friendly chat with her fans before going to bed.

OK, I will... :biggrin:
Her skating amazes and cheers me up, but I can't freaking watch her Olympic/European skate without disrupting my day/evening anymore. Whenever I start for one ~5 minutes long Schindler's List, I end up with (at least) 50 minutes of SLs, "Dont Give Ups", Megapolises, Je t'aimes, Kill Bills and fan tributes. She is constantly breaking my will and that's why I dislike her so much. :p

Go away, I don't like you! :mad:

I've been watching the ad over and over again, there's something about that's so incredible. Moreso, for the fact that despite the translation in the description I don't really understand the words so I focus instead on how she's saying it and her intensity. (The adidas ad I haven't seen the other.)

Now that I finally have a laptop again I have time to watch these videos and comment instead of having to rush on a work or library computer.

While downloading videos of her skates over the past few years I am astonished anew at how she's keeps getting better, despite the jump consistency or lack thereof everything else is more incredible.
