wondering what David Wilson has said about Macarbre. My figure skating view life started from 2009 world scheherazade, after Macarbre.:biggrin:

OS, I echo your suggestion, Really hope Yuna can bring ATS in North American again. Now acctually is a great time. Yuna has many many skater friends in North American and tons of youngsters in North America truly idolized her. Over the years, I went to all kinds of skating compitetions, I have witnessed the love towards Yuna among North American's figure skating youngsters. Even if Yuna never skated for 4 years, they are still talking about her all the time.

OS, the user ID of YNKF adminstor "Lakewood" reminds me of the place lakewood in Socal where Nathan trains. maybe he is from there? :biggrin: Those fond memories on YNKF... among which watching and sharing 2014 Sochi FS live with fellow Yuna fans.:sad21::o:

Lakewood is Cosmos here, perhaps you can PM him. He is to shut down Yunaforum soon due to little activities unless fans can convince him otherwise. I did wonder how he got the name, may be he studied in the states?

Oh yes 2014 lol... so many elation, joy, happy tears, sad tears, guts wrenching times.... and of course the fall out!!! yikes.... memories.

I just hope he can still keep a server plugged in to save the old posts. so that all those years of memories will NOT disappear into @Cosmos... :biggrin:

but "this too shall pass" ...
 
Is there a way to archive it though? I just learned about the site recently and just going down through the motion of reading all translated interviews of Yuna that I couldn’t find here (and laugh at those little gems like she thought her jumps weren’t beautiful!). I also saw some long threads on her Olympic periods which I want to read.

I always felt that it is the responsibility/obligation of Yuna fans to preserve Yuna's figure skating in this universe as best as we can. otherwise, it will be a shame and a loss.

Yuna fans have beening doing a great job tho. in terms keep on Yuna's programs official broadcast videos in social media (regardless how social medai changes), fancams and I hope all those fan edit/art/creation/culture could be saved too.

Yuna's figure skating is like classic music in music history.

It would actually be crazy if she brought it back for 2014. It would be phenomenal. But Yuna never does the same thing twice... so fresh :)

[For DM] David Wilson in one of the TSL interviews mentioned his inspiration was Yuna as like a gargoyle figure looking down at the audience with those head movements in the beginning like she’s coming to life - and then when she sweeps her arm out it’s like gesturing to the audience theyre all hers and under her spell - he said Yuna got a kick out of it lol his interview explains it better than I did

Well, if that's the intention of the choreography then it was highly effective. Everyone was under her spell throughout the program. :laugh:
 
I just realized rereading Yuna's past interviews is also not good for the heart!
Back in 2011 she was so consistent in saying that she wanted to go pro, tour around the world and do ice shows, and would still be skating after 10 years. :sad21:

(But I take joy in saying that Nessum Dorma is no longer her last performance)

I'm fine with her not being pro. Makes me treasure her performances even more. Like something vintage, y'know?

(IDK if you'll get a notification off this, your inbox is full)

Not sure this is exactly new but I had never seen that compilation before. It made me smile. [emoji5] So bittersweet to watch this now.

I think I've seen those. It is weird she never broke the record after Vancouver, when I thought her post Vancouver programs were better for the most part. But then, the way I scored her, her Roxanne would have held the record till Mao's W14 SP, and Les Mis would likely have been a record, broken only due to high tech content these days, not on PCS.

I got those DINGS in my email and checked. Clean now.

I'm fine with everything she decided to do, just me being heartbroken for the 20 year old who had a dream to be a pro and do ice shows internationally.

This definitely breaks my heart :sad21: (Bringing back that time when she's still with Orser.)
 
"just me being heartbroken for the 20 year old who had a dream to be a pro and do ice shows internationally. "

Maybe Yuna has met some obstacles then. Maybe she wanted to go pro and do shows, not competitions after her OGM. but somehow, she still has to continue compete for her country.
She must have felt from 2010 to 2014, her sacrifice in competive figure skaitng and sincerity in pursuit/explore figure skating in the direction she wanted (such as aristry) is not apprecaited by ISU as it should be. She must have feelt maybe just a little disapointed with all these.
from 2014 to 2018, she will need to help her country to promote its first winter Olymipics.
That maybe what happened.
 
^ I honestly pretty much don't care what happened that changed her mind. Things happen, plans change, and we can only really appreciate what she did and not what could have been.

Anyways, I was also rewatching some of her exhibition pieces and just have to admit that while before I didn't like her Fever, I love it now. :laugh: Her unabashed sultriness there is so infectious and every minute of the beat she owns.

(This was supposed to be my 200th post but I gave it for Mao, the other love of my life).
 
Yep, she grew up! That's what happened. ^.^

Ha! I didn't use to like Fever, but there's something so rock-star-like about it.
