Yulia's SP in the Team Event, with CBC comment: https://vimeo.com/106919278
LP team event, with CBC comment: https://vimeo.com/106915535

This is a great way to wake up. :) I still think the crowd scared Yulia in her SP when she hit the full extension on her I-Spin when they let out the collective cheer of amazement. I think a lot of people may have seen it for the first time right there in that moment.
 
I have to disagree with that to a certain extent. In Vancouver the crowd cheered for most everyone as did the SLC crowd in 2002. In Sochi you had some of the greatest skaters ever to take the ice competing in their final Olympic Games and perhaps last competition ever and all they could barely get was a partial ovation.

SLC yes, vancouver no. Did you not notice how utterly tepid and lukewarm the reaction was to everyone except Joannie? Whenever roars/cheers/whistles went up it was because a foreign fan was initiating them for a skater from his/her country. You can tell this from all the videos/fan cam footage, etc. Even the standing ovation Yuna got was initiated by Koreans and the Canadians lukewarmly decided to go along, standing up quite slowly. Not to mention how quiet they were for a lot of her routine (something Sandra tried to sell as 'stunned silence' when that was hardly the case).

That's true. I myself saw it for the first time then and was completely overwhelmed.
 
Alba, I just want to add my thanks to the chorus above.

You have obviously done a tremendous amount of work in compiling and posting these videos. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Better if you download the videos on your computer, because the quality is much better rather than watching it on FB.
