Yeah, her les miserables programme was great, but she already had a clean, perfect performance with that. If she had used it again but hadn't been better than 2013 worlds, I don't think the judges would have given her good scores. Anyway, I watched adios nonino again, and it was more sharp and delicate than les miserable. IMO it was a new style for her and I say it was good as other programmes she has done. Everyone has their own personal tastes btw.

whats wrong with skating clean already with Les Miserables ? Yuna's consistency is nothing to be questioned about
she got huge score for her FS last Worlds, that suited her like gloves, even better than Carolina's Bolero
I think her Adios Nanino was perfect. It was not that usual tango which "figure skaters" usually used. But Yuna really expressed well the music "Farewell my father". This music can't not be like Carmen or Roxanne. Otherwise Carmen is very passionate and dramatic character, Yuna in Adios Nonino needs to be a classy, missing, but a fire in her mind that kind of woman. She doesn't need to be dramatic. Why should she? She was acting the woman who was missing father and looking back old days. And..Yuna was the woman. Whether you like this program or not, it is technically very difficult program to follow. Look at the steps. Her steps are mostly with one foot. Also this music has no typical rythm. I love Caro's Bolero. But Frankly speaking, I think Yuna deserves better score than Caro because she tried another program for this season. She showed her best with Les Miserables last season. She showed her best with Adios Nonino this season. I respect her choice.
totally agree.:thumbsup:

this. she had mixed reviews with her LP from the start but she gained respect with that performance.. it was simply mature and elegant..
She did really well and should be proud. Hope she isn't too disappointed with silver. I was shocked she came second but I won't hate on Adelina, she did really well and it's not her fault if people didn't think the judges scored her correctly. I am pleased for all the medalists, they all did beautifully.

looking back at her career..
it's unbelievable really that yuna came from a country without any figure skating background and literally carried her country every time she skates.. and managed to be successful at it..even how the politics behind close door.. and the whole subjectivity of it.. if there's any miracle on ice.. that will be her..

As Yuna fan i'm just happy and proud of her..it's a gift for me to have a chance to watched her skate once again and ending her career such high note..She is and will always be the best for me..,and just like her i accept the result,.I won't blame Adelina she didn't give the score to her self she's done her part..

Not one person in skating I've talked to said that's the way (the result) should have gone,” former US Olympic figure skating coach Audrey Weisiger told USA Today.
The judging pool for the free skating program was slightly different to the one that had awarded Kim top points in the short program the night before.One addition was Ukranian Yuri Balkov.In her book The Second Mark: Courage, Corruption and the Battle for Olympic Gold, author Joy Goodwin wrote that hours before the finals of the 1998 Olympic ice dancing competition in Nagano, Canadian judge Jean Senft tape-recorded a phone call made to her hotel room by Balkov.

That should be the understatement of the year! To be honest, I could not enjoy at all Yuna's Adios, as soon as Adelina's score of 149.95 flashed on the screen. It was made clear that they were going to give Gold to Adelina no matter what. From that point on, I just had to watch powerlessly Yuna becoming a pawn in a game of politiking, putting up a brave face and perform in front of a hostile crowds, alone in the face of a massive setup. It was just watching a person alone against the world. Heartbreaking really. Maybe I will be able to enjoy her program one day when I finally manage to 'de-traumatize' myself from the nightmare that unfolded over these two days.

I hope some clever person will combine the music from some previous events with the best performances from Sochi. It would be nice to watch YuNa, Carolina, Mao, Gracie, D&W, V&M, and P&B without the distracting and unpleasant crowd noises.
