Translation of the interview. My translator fails at times especially with gender but you get the overall idea.
I never knew anything about her til I saw her at Finlandia 2012, other than I knew she was junior world champion. She was impressive then, but seeing her again a year later at Finlandia 2013... her progress was amazing. I hope she can keep up that momentum!This kid has my captured my imagination and respect. I can't put my fingure on it but I feel compelled to root for her and learn her story/motivations. I'm praying she lasts and can stay interested but can respect any decision she makes. One thing that seems certain...she'll do what she wants. That's just who she is. If she stays it will be exciting because she'll continue to put her all into it as we've seen over her entire career.
I love this side of her personality. I don't claim to understand/know Julia, but I interpret it as showing a strong will and confidence (beyond her age), and a certain cheeky humour :-DYulia is very short with people at times(especially certain reporters, this one seemed to get on her wrong side from the very first question)
This kid has my captured my imagination and respect.
I saw her on a Russian chat show (youtube, sorry I don't have the link), and the host actually seemed a bit intimidated by her. She has a way of staring people right in the eye... she can do a Paddington Stare, if you know what I mean. She also speaks confidently, and as Sam mentioned, sometimes she is quite short with people. This seemed to make the host rather uncomfortable, and it looked like Julia was the one in control of the interview, rather than the host :-D
Moscow News delivers the fed-ex package with Speilbergs letter of appreciation in it to Yulia at her rink. I really wish this video would continue...looks like she was about to go into full beach mode on that reporter

They pulled this video already!!
Wow, actually you can make out ALL of the text...! (be sure to switch the video res to 480)fuller video... you can actually make out some of the text of the spielberg letter
She says exactly how she feels. It's almost comical and definetely refreshing. It makes it hard not to believe her when she says she'll never go back to another event like that. Some of those people had on more make-up for one night than I think Yulia has worn in her entire lifetime!
Can't wait for her next interview...there is always the potential for brutal honesty at expense of anyone or anything
