There was an article that came out last year written by Korean press that talked about Yu Na not liking skating. She does it because she is asked to, not because she wants to. Of course, that could all change (and I hope it does...)

Did you watch them on Youbtube? I'm not seeing any of the long programs on there yet.

Wow, I just got home. I thought I was seeing things looking at the results. Good for Sarah. I love her program this year. Does anyone know if Sarah tried her triple triple?
Poor Mao, she spends all her time running in behind the music.

I love the Czardas but maybe she should choose a slower arrangement, like the one used by Katarina in 84, or the one Chris Bowman used in 88.

There's nothing surprising about Mao's SPs or her LPs for that matter.

The jumps are soooooo beautiful. She is one of the few skaters I've seen who can travel distance in the air with her jumps. It's not just up and down but up up and away before down.
Spin positons could be better. Flow is gorgeous and I also notice a bit of body language - another one of my nitpicks on almost all skaters. She needs a bit of facial expression, a better turn out in arabesques, and a desire to win (which I think is lacking.)
Definitely in the top category. Check out that first jump and notice the distance she is in the air!!

Yu Na said she once felt like giving up skating due to injuries and boot problems.
But she never said she did not like skating. Did you see those tapes around her waist? Even with the serious back pain, she did her best and won the Final!
Anyway, Congrats for Yu Na!!!

Somebody on Sashafans put up a bunch of the videos. By now you've probably seen them though!
She does have the most exquisite triple-triple among female skaters. So much flow and easy easy. Not a lot of male skaters' 3-3 are as good as hers.
I think the only thing that could stand in Yu-na's way is her nagging injuries. That's never really a good sign because while she may be able to manage them now, later on it may come back to bite her. Just like many other skaters...and athletes in general...
