Technique, Yuna is relying on her technique, just watch all her practice sessions at 2013 worlds and 2014 OG practice on Youtube. Yuna has absolutely total control of her jumps, totally relaxed upper body, even when she is nervous, or doubt about herself for coming back, or competition jitters, she can rely on her technique, as Yuna said herself after her bad warming up at SOCHI sp in interview, "I chose to trust my training". CBC OG Yuna FS commentary also mentioned that and summarized it very well (Yuna's FS at Sochi at that situation!).

Gotta agree with this. Most people can't even function properly after one bad night out, never mind jump 8 triples when they're down with the stomach flu.
Wth, why would Diva Wagner have to look to Mao as an example. You want Diva Wagner to look to Mao as an example, so she will finish dead last place at every competition? :no shake: Mao is an example of skater with no progression. Her skating is so junior. She can't even fix her flutz over the course of many years. She even copy some of Wagner move for her SP. :noshake:
Why do we even have the scoring "system" and world records now if judges are handing the scores out like candies on Halloween? It kinda takes away the excitement for me.
Seriously, a 9.25/9.5 on SS? It's like they're saying this is as good as it gets when in fact, there's so much more to improve.
Exactly. Medvedeva's pcs were almost as high as Caro's and Yuna's in Sochi (low 9's). That is simply wrong in any possible way.

What do you think Ashley Wagner herself would say to your insulting comment about Mao after reading this?
Quote from Ashley Wagner
Yu Na Kim, Mao Asada, Carolina Kostner - all these girls can do triple-triples in their sleep, and they have the skating skills and the spins and the rest of the technical jumps. So I have to have that as well if I want to be able to call myself 'competitive' against them. And when I say 'competitive,' I mean I want to win.

Yes, Mao should look up to Ashley. So she could win as many titles as Ashley has. Maybe then she would be considered one of the greats alongside Michelle, Yuna, Miki, Caro, etc.

I am waiting to see Evgenia to perform to different music type/structure/choreo than this type though. mechanic stsq with flowing music otherwise.
Also, I disagree with Euro boyz this time regarding Satoko's music as background music. I may not like Satoko's jumps, but I do certainly appreciate her musicality. Interpretation music/musicality is not just about hit obvious music hues. One skater that is indeed always use music as background music is JuliaLip.
EDIT: I do think that Evgenia has relatively better musicality within Russian girls. Radio and her are on the same level in terms of musicality in my book, but Radio really got horrible program music cut this year.

ITA, it's such a pity to see them humiliate themselves this way

I agree. Much respect for Mao and I hope she recovers well from her illness and pull off what she has got later in the season.

I had to force myself to sit through Satoko's free skate. I appreciate her ability to consistently land jumps but with no height (and her size is no excuse, little girls get higher off the ice than her) she leaves me bored. And no soul to her skating . .

Can we wait until Wagner actually accomplishes something before we start comparing her to a multiple world champion?

We all have our own preferences and there is nothing to be ashamed about if you don't connect with a skater. It's the moment when people start to diss a skater they dislike when things get ugly. I totally agree with the placement here, but still think the scores are incredibly inflated. Maybe the judges went overboard because the men were delivering on such a high level? And concerning Satoko, for me she just simply lacks that special something that makes a skater engaging, that makes her interesting to me. I mean, she leaves no impression. She's constantly....good. Not a headcase, but not exactly awe-inspiring either. People probably disagree, but I'd rather watch a flawed Rika Hongo or even Kanako. Oh, Kanako...*sniff*
