I couldnt help crying when Joannie skated. wish Yuna Kim's score was not so far away-

 

[museksk8r]

OMG, I was crying right along with Scott Hamilton. I am so very proud of Joannie for completing that courageous skate so beautifully. I don't think she could have done it better . . . great for her! Oh, what a touching moment . . . so amazing! you Joannie!!! Your mama is smiling down at you and I'm sure you've made her so proud! Lovely!

I had thought for a moment it looked like she was crying when she landed her triple flip, but so amazing how she held it together and just let it out. I don't think anyone can begrudge her for crying after a great skate in the K&C. That was an amazing skate.

Joannie skated so beautifully and I'm sure her mom would be proud of that skate. Such strength to skate like that after such a tragic thing. She really had me in tears.

so overscored

i wanted mirai or miki to get the bronze, but for all thats happened, i hope joannie goes out and wins it, she deserves a happy moment at these games

You can't even describe what she just did, everyone in the building had to of been crying. And God Bless you Canada for helping her get through it

 

[figurejennah]

I, too, cried after watching Joannie's performance. I am so sorry about what happened to her mother, and I am extremely happy for Joannie's beautiful performance.


Btw, did someone post protocols yet?

Congrats to both Yuna and Mao for clean performances as well, and I don't think Yuna's 3-3 was UR....

great job Joannie, amazing job.
Also Granny!!! other than that landing it was great, you are such a competitor!!

 

[watchvancouver]

yes i noticed that too. but i'm not a judge so my eyes are not that sharp Why is yuna called diana?

Her coach told the media Yu Na Kim is like Diana and she's more graceful than ... Go figure.

 

[Hikaru]

Oh Joannie....everyone in my room watching this is crying right now...

I got a teary eye myself. She really held it together, emotions really coming out at the end...God knows the turmoil in her heart.

 

[R.D.]

OK, come on Rachel!

 

[Iscariot]

ITA. I am balling my eyes out especially when she started to cry at the end. And then she and her coach crying. My God. This outdoes any other best performance. They are showing Brian crying for Joanne now.

they showed it where CBC? Good for you Joannie, and that for me was a great score, well skated under the circunstances

 

[beep_beep]

And Granny didn't crumble after that. Good for her, mistakes though...

 

[ARipp42014]

Nice performance despite the step-out, Granny!

I'm still teary eyed from Joannie!

 

[Lotta]

lmao Young Rachael!

 

[hauteor]

I'm wishing for gold or silver for Joannie, either one would look great on her in the FS outfit. Kim will probably win, but I can already imagine how that monstrosity of a yellow medal (they are huge!) will clash with her lovely blue dress.

 

[Layfan]

Cute smile from Julia...

I'm still heartbroken over Joannie.

 

[nghtvsn]

I'm happy that Joannie was able to give the performance that she gave and the score was well deserved.

 

[R.D.]

a little frustrated with NBC at the moment...
