Guys I initially had a hard time watching the Adios Nonino Olympic FS, because of the obviously disgraceful circumstances so I was consoling myself by crying over SITC instead, which is utterly magical and in it's own dimension. However, youtube autoplayed Adios Nonino and my god is it beautiful. It's so melancholic, the moments of bittersweet joy and remembrance integrated with the sadder notes, and it fits the occasion so well. Yuna against the world :sad21:

It's so haunting, the whole situation doesn't leave your mind. I wonder if that's partially why it's so hard to let go - I still get hurt when I think of the results. And I noticed that Yuna's IG profile pic is one of her performing it as well!
Well, at a minimum, it can be said that it meant something to her, and it meant something to us, even if it escaped the judges.
Also, random thought - Yuna is some years older than me, and I know that in FS, perception of ages is kind of warped, but she really was/is so young, and she bore everything with so much grace and dignity, wherever she went. At 18 or even 22, other sportspeople, heck even normal people, are considered very young, and yet she shouldered everything so well. She basically undertook multiple additional years of arduous training, and heaps more pressure, for the future of the sport in her country. Sometimes with celebrity culture, I feel like we mythologize celebrities, and of course I think Yuna is most deserving of her queen title. But in reality, she really is 'just' an amazingly talented, hard working, generous, artistic, and thoughtful young person, and when I look at it that way, it's almost even more amazing. She, and some other skaters, are truly incredibly good role models to people like me, who are just starting their careers
