2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

[skatefan17]

For the Yuna fans, why is she quitting after this season if the next Olympics will be in Korea, and she will still be young then?

80+ APQN :agree:

Kurt Browning and I thought it should be higher -- Russia

 

[Mrs. P]

She got all +3 on the 3Z-3T WOW!!!

ETA: Maybe not...just looked at the scale of values....but still +1.50 GOE is fantastic.

74.92 for Kim I believe, the BBC stream is cut off at the bottom though.

Yu-na means business

 

[Mar]

Bigger score than Julia at the team event

 

[Seruleane]

YAY YUNA!!!!!! She holds up REALLY WELL under pressure.

 

[Panini]

Her PCS looks a tad low compared to what we've been seeing in the team competition and men's lol. Yuzuru gets all 9's and Yuna gets 8's... hmmm.

 

[Ophelia]

That score is a bit low...

 

[Plisskin]

Man, that was just beautiful from Yuna.

 

[NoNameFace]

IMO veery beatable score fron Yuna...we'll see what Julia will score...

 

[apgold]

"Fever" - Sam Cesario isn't here, so no dueling Fevers.

Yuna is 13 points ahead of Polina, wonder if Yulia can beat that?

 

[Silvia451]

To me, she was perfect. I hope Mao lands the 3A and we'll have a great competition.

 

[redleg]

All hail the queen!

Is it just me? or the website actually slowed down caused by traffic.

 

[neraiselle]

Wonderful and so calming skate from Yuna..... Thank you! But I think the score seems a bit low compared to her previous records...

 

[roxella]

YUNA - great as always!!!

 

[waddup]

what? WAY TOO LOW!!!!

 

[bmelanie]

She's such a fashionable girl off-ice, I don't understand why she'd choose this dress for the Olympics.

I have a theory that, because Send in the Clowns is a very nostalgic piece of music, the color of the dress is also referencing that sentiment.
Edited:
There's a very famous poem in Korea that has a very striking line, 'The handkerchief of nostalgia,' which in turn is referencing an O'Henry short story where a wife hangs up yellow handkerchiefs on a tree to show her continued loyalty and love for her husband.
I think that line cemented the color yellow as one of nostalgia and love in Korean literary consciousness.

 

[imisscohen]

Yep. Yuna got boxed in. Enough to give her the lead, but low enough for Yulia to take over.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

She got all +3 on the 3Z-3T WOW!!!

She should! I was worried she'd get dinged for a UR on the 3T since it wasn't as obviously rotated as usual, but she still got it in there.
