there is a huge jump technique debate out there on this board right now:biggrin:. and many slow-mo clips been made. then of course, I went back to Yuna.

Gosh, Yuna, you are still the only one.
after watched so many slow-mo...watch your jumps is such a refreshing thing.
also, yuna's jump must be watched with music together.:biggrin:
perhaps fans can make a compilation of all Yuna's jumps with music (perhaps, select the best attempt of the same jumping pass of all programs).
also spins too.
also step sequence
must with music.:biggrin:

Great compilation! Apart from perfect technique, I also love the flow and steps she has going out of the jump... she rarely just lands something and forgets it happened; she makes the landing really stand out either with hand movements, connecting steps, eye contact, etc...

She was even featured on Discovery channel for her perfect jump technique as the "model" jumper :biggrin:

Indeed. Yuna's jump are still the most beautiful. :) She has the perfect combination of power and grace, especially her 3-3, solo Lutz and 2A. None of the ladies today does a 2A as beautiful as Yuna's, from a difficult entry and with beautiful running edge.

BTW, do any of you guys know how to buy All That Skate tickets if you're in another country and doesn't understand Korean? I went to their website and the texts seem to be images so they can't be translated by Google.

maybe try interpark? but right now, there is no mention of an ATS show yet. The website was the one that sold the tix for 4CC and last year's show I believe....

edit: nvm...lol

Does anyone else think the British Eurosport commentators miss Yuna? It seemed like they were a little underwhelmed by the ladies podium this year. I am happy that Yuna elicited true admiration :yay:

I seem to remember seeing it some where else in Asia.
Gracie used to copy Yuna's dress for Scherazade but in black, but these are exact copies. the colour contrast just goes together well.

Wow, you are right! It's not an exact copy, but very close...

What can we say, everyone just can't get enough of Yuna's fashion sense ;)

^^ in an even younger age, Gracie even used a Yuna's gershwin blue dress replica. probably you cannot find it online now.
Did eurosports boyz mentioned Yuna in recent broadcast? which one?

They didn't mention her, but they didn't really have the same type of praise for any of the top finishers in WC 2015. It almost seemed like they were a bit apathetic to the outcome of it because "no one in the competition has even been on the podium before". Every time Yuna went on ice, they were totally head over heels for her, haha - justifiably so. :biggrin:

also, Gracie's dress wasn't *that* similar: http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/i...res-160140021_crop_north.jpg?w=650&h=440&q=75

Yuna's was a lot more classy imho, cause it had the collar http://timetree.zumst.com/2014/02/18/15/d8e87c090a464947b7b0c52c18b952ad.png

This is more similarity http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/lakersgirl712/Akiko-2.jpg

^^no, not that one, it is one that Gracie used when she is not famous at all. perhaps around 14 years old. a blue replicate of Yuna's gershwin dress. exact the same cut, just the beading is simpler.

where did you guys get that? :scratch:

It was in the news today.....but it's not 100% accurate as Yuna's agency said they do not know any of her private matters.....
I'm wondering if Korean gov is using this to cover up, yet again, another stupid thing that they did....

So Yuna is back with that.....dude..... :scowl:

Ick. I'm not really into celeb's personal lives, but I can't help but react to this. Yuna could have pretty much any man she wanted in her home country (and many others, for that matter). Why settle for someone that she'd already broken up with when he publicly cheated on her? :shrug:
