Yuna was great but who else thinks Mirai had the best performance of the night?
Daniel5555 not even close. Michelle has her beat on every level. Mirai will be next. Yu Na is a great jumper. there is so much more to figure skating buddy.
Oh come on you guys. Comparing Michelle Kwan to Yu-Na Kim and arguing over which one is better is like comparing apples to oranges. Kim may have the OGM, but Michelle has the record and the titles. The OGM is not a lifetime acheivement award, as Michelle can attest to. IF Yuna skated for as long as Michelle did at the same level she did and had similar or better results, then maybe we can talk. They are both beautiful, amazing skaters with huge achievements under their belts, and they will BOTH be remembered in history; just for different things. Saying that one is "better" than the other is just stupid! Just because Nastia Liukin won the OGM, does that automatically make her better than Khorkina? I think not.
Yu-Na might as well retire after this. If she completes 3 triples she'll still win with 210+ and just sweep every competition.
I enjoyed watching Mao and she'll go down in history for performing two 3As but I don't think her linking sequences or her step sequences were as good myself.

me. the components are not there yet but they soon will be. OGM favorite for Sochi in my opinion.
You think Mao would have won under 6.0 system?
I think Yu na will retire but Mao is hopefully staying and yay again to Mirai.
Ok, whatever But Yuna is the best for me!But I do agree that Daniel5555 was a bit too overexcited.
Was he/she joking?
Michelle is simply irreplaceable!!
