Yuna Kim

If you miss Yuna you guys should watch Wakaba's version of Sheherezade either from the Trophee Bombard or WTT. There were several moments where I thought that Yuna was back, such as the landing of her 3L-3T (the flow out/the serene expression on her face is sooo much like Yuna's) and some of the footwork/transitions. :thumbsup:

Thanks. Just for those who will click and watch it, please beware that the promotional clip distributed by IOC is opened with Thomas Bach.

Anyway, it is always nice to see Yuna's new appearance and her Olympic moments. :)

I was more disturbed by the awful green screen lol. Yuna's part @ 4:26.

But actually this whole video is really interesting! Love the bts footage of Sochi and Pyeongchang, and good to know the whole process athletes go through at the games.
 
^^ agreed

Btw, has anyone ever (or know anyone who) met Yuna in real life? Honestly I feel like it would be amazing to have a conversation with her about the current/past state of figure skating, sports in general, life goals/motivations, etc. I feel like she would have a lot of really interesting insight to share with any young adults who are deciding their paths in life/facing hardships/etc. I honestly wonder whether it would be possible to just randomly have a really cool conversation with her at some point. :laugh:

Speaking of... Is Wakaba a major Yuna fan? Okay that Yuna skated to a lot of popular music in skating, but 3 of her last 4 FS have been Gershwin's rhapsody in blue, Scheherazade and James Bond, I doubt it is a coincidence

Who isn't a major fan of Yuna Kim?? :p
Jokes aside, perhaps is just a coincidence. But I wouldn't be surprised if Yuna was an inspiration for her.
I might add that Yuna skated to Scheherazade inspired by Kwan. And Yuna's Gershwin was just a beautiful blue warhorse, wasn't it?
Now, the Bond program I think it was a really bold move for Wakaba! But the music is very different from Yuna's, with the Adele part and everything. But still, people will make the comparison or at least remember the other great Bond program(Yuna's). Which is what we are doing now. :laugh:

Indeed she is. Wakaba has spoken in interviews many times that Yuna is her idol.

Piano Concerto in F Major, not Rhapsody in Blue... ;)
