god, her face is incredible. it's so expressive... she looks like she feels a thousand different things through every performance. she's the type of woman who will be the most beautiful in the room even when she's 90 years old
I agree I mean most of the kids skating now have been told to make expressions but they don't bring home true musicality or the complexity of human emotions. Only Miyahara and Ashley have that gift but neither have her technical prowess.
She's my dream, even though I started at age 9... and has only skated for 1 year and a half I have won first at two contests at my place, my dream is her.
Agree totally, others may match or even exceed her technicality, but fall miles behind her grace, her elegance, her artistry. She put it all together like no one I've seen.
I follow most sports from tennis to Sumo to cricket to hurling. This is the greatest sporting performance I have ever seen. Pure perfection. She is extremely beautiful too but what really makes it is that sense of humility you get in Yuna. A very rare quality in the modern world, sporting or otherwise. May Queen Yuna live forever.
Have you seen her les miserables perf in the 2013 worlds? that was enchanting .. although a lot of people would say this will always be her best perf, i daresay, les mis topped this one ..
I LOVE how Yuna doesn't take ANY element for granted. She goes into each and every jump with such precision, focus and class. I feel like many skaters take the jumps for granted now doing lutzes and flips like they're nothing and yet they pre-rotate them like loop jumps and get scored as a lutz/flip. Yuna really highlights all the jumps but in the best way there is. She really is the Queen.
Came back here to watch this magical & flawless olympic performance of Yuna Kim since it's the Winter Olympics again. Nobody skates as effortlessly & gracefully as Queen Yuna. Her artistry & technique is truly on another level and until now I cannot find any other female skater that is as special as her.

The record is meaningless now.. Womens iceskating is corrupted and overscored lol. The Russian ISU controllers have decided to change the system entirely
Exactly-if you look at the pre rotation and over scoring of elements for Russian skaters it’s insane how many deductions and inflating of the scoring is present for them. I love Evgenia but she like all of Eteri’s girls was known to pre rotate her jumps and not have nearly the precise technique or fluidity of Yuna Kim. I feel like after the 2010 Olympics, all the female singles gold medals should come with an asterisk.
No one else has that effortless jump. Medvedeva and Valieva both of whom are dubbed as the best have ugly labored jumps. It's like they are muscling their way throught their jumps
Because she just be the best female skater ever. This is not to be disrespectful to any before or since, but Yuna Kim combined elegant athleticism with artistic expression possibly better than anyone else. And her look of genuine surprise at her Final Skate score was heartwarmingly humble.
Nagasu is a great skater but it feels weird to know that an Asian is representing the USA. The US is selling itself to Asians and immigrants in general... Any Asian who show up with a little bit of money steal the place that should be given to an American child. African americans are discriminated American coaches will find scholarships for white Asian kids over an African American child. It is a fact. They make unaffordable for black kids to do any kind of sports. Somehow all this Asians are coming here and surprisingly getting a free ride to do the sports they want. BS
Okay woah woah woah. I know that African Americans are discriminated against, but the thing is... the Asian people are not just Asian either. They are Asian American. If you categorize them, they are all Americans. I do not see why you are blaming Asian Americans for getting a free ride, but if they have talent that is what the coaches want to take. Obviously. There must not be an African American person that has caught someone's eye yet. You don't need to be all mad and push the blame onto Asian Americans. It is completely unnecessary to the conversation. The person just wanted to say how graceful a KOREAN skater was and you start blaming Asian Americans for taking places in sports. What is wrong with you?
it's not a free ride. IIRC i saw an interview with mirai nagasu talking about how hard her parents had to work to allow her to skate. Let's not make this a race issue - each of these athletes worked their asses off to get where they are, regardless of race. It could simply be that ice skating is not as popular a sport within the african american community as other sports.
@@Griffw06 A player of this level of skill will come forward, but a player who will show such a beautiful figure will never come out. I love you, Yu-na.
+Vahan Avagyan Still she didn't need it to win, in any other place she would have won, adelina was just starting and she made mistakes that were ignored, besides the judgment in the SP was ridicuolus, a very unfair competition unfortunately.
Did you watch the professional analyst video regarding the scoring? Altogether Adelina got 26 extra marks when they should've been taken away for her multiple double foot landings, wrong edge jumps and the triple lutz triple toes which ended up just being triple flips due to the fact she pre-rotated, used the wrong edge, used the wrong foot, and didn't use her toes but the entire blade. Just for that ONE combination mistake she should have been penalized over 4 marks but instead she got the maximum. Subjective sports is one thing, not being able to correct BLATANT miscounting is another.
Nobody, Nobody can jump like Yuna in woman's figure skating. Her speed, Perfect edge, And Lading is amazing. I've watched this sport for a 15Years, I can sure her technic is superior than any woman.
Seriously. She was so well-rounded as a skater...expressive without being tacky, a great ease on the ice, speed, grace, jumped like a pro as you said and incredibly charismatic. To me, she was probably the most "complete package" skater I have seen in a while and I doubt we will see another like her for some time.
Ive never been interested in figure skating, nor have any idea on its history. But what i just watched was so beautiful and graceful, like poetry in motion. Wow
@@a2927 It's either her or Mao Asada for me. True skill is more of being able to land jumps with perfect technique after puberty, rather than landing jump after jump.
@@turtlefeesh What are you talking about? The gold medal in 2014 Sochi Olympics was clearly Yuna's, it was robbed. Everyone with decent mind knows that.
Soy Leo y Aqui te Veo Yes. Yuna's long program world record lasted for more than half a decade which is quite incredible in this sport. Her two unforgettable programs of Vancouver are still a world record, the combined total score is 228.56 points.
+amazing_butterfly By present ISU standards, this performance can have a higher score. But that just me. Scores are inflating nowadays and standards are going down. This record was made at a time that almost other performances of top skaters are 130s. Nowadays top skaters easily get 140s.
Textbook jumps, while being so artistically graceful, no wonder she's anointed as GOAT in Sports Illustrated. No pre- or under-rotations, flutz, or incorrect jump techniques for her, and CLEAN with No Drugs. She's delivered CLEAN Programs in All her 2 consecutives Olympics programs.
No matter how much this sport evolved, even others have already produced the quads, no one can beat this girl. She has all the elements. Everything that this sport requires. Her connection with the audience is just incomparable.
Most of the "quad" jumpers do triples actually, with their almost whole rotation done on the ice. And Yuna has almost zero prerotation in her jumps, they somehow look like quads for me because of that...
I grew up in Vancouver and the 2010 Olympics are some of my best childhood memories. But I distinctly remember watching Yuna Kim’s free skate on TV in my mothers bedroom thinking it was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. A true Queen.
It's a tradition for me to come back here from time to time especially when there's a winter olympic taking place. This performance is textbook perfect. You simply can't compare her to nowadays' ladies skaters. Very beautiful, classy, and yes it's actually hard but she made it looks so easy. Long live the queen.
@@off.arretezvousx I love that Yuna has never once spoken about Sochi or Adelina Cheatnikova. Adelina is still on Instagram arguing with people who say that the gold medal is Yuna Kim's.
@@bridgetbinion8494 Agreed. Kim never blamed Sotnikova or judges for the result. If Adelina was truly innocent about the result, she wouldn't argue or get mad about what others say about the scandal.
After watching the mess in Beijing, I needed to watch this clip again. Gotta say, this is the best figure skating performance in history, period. She's the perfect combination of athleticism, artistry, grace, beauty, coquettishness. Even her facial expressions are perfectly in tune with the music and the skating. I wasn't sure if I was watching a skater, an actress, a ballerina or all of the above. This performance just can't be topped. Katarina Witt comes in second, and yes the Russian girls jump and spin faster now but they seem like spinning robots.
Kim Yuna is certainly incredibly talented and graceful skater. It's a fact. So I understand that personal opinion is always subjective, but still, it’s very wrong to call the rental of Russian girls a mess) they don’t objectively look like rotating robots and are not devoid of athleticism and grace)
@@КмллаХв The women's Olympic debacle this year was awful to witness, but no one can watch Valieva's short program and thing they've witnessed the movements of a soulless robot!
I honestly think 2014 was even better performance wise. But 2010 was more impressive with the immense pressure she was under coming from a country with almost zero importance in the world of figure skating…in the MOST important event at the Winter Olympics. 🏅🏅
People might beat her technically now or in the future. But ice skating is more than technique. Yuna has a grace, and elegance that is hard to come by. She made it look effortless. I believe she is a once in a lifetime skater. I haven't seen another that has all the characteristics that she possesses on the ice. All while remaining humble. Not many like her.
Spot on! Even technically speaking, to this day nobody pulls off a triple lutz-triple toe like she does. I would argue that the actual quality of the jumps have stagnated or decreased since then: plenty of underrotation, pre-rotation, and wrong edge. Ladies skaters these days just seem better cuz of the score inflation trend overlooking many of these flaws.
Pdx Paula honestly she's more technique skater than artist. There were only elements but no story, dance or musicality. No idea where those component points came from.
Ten years later, I still come to this incredible performance. She made history and changed this sport forever. I recall I couldn't watch her live, because I was terrified she would miss something and lose her gold medal. No one since then made me feel so involved.
GOAT!! I found no one better than her. She deserved it. We can't imagine how hard she worked till the end. Thank her for all of her performances sincerely. Best wishes to her!!
Let’s not forget her gracefulness comes from complete mastery of the techniques. Textbook jumps, control of edges, speed and power in skating, beautiful body movement…. This is what figure skating is about. Having said that, I think her Sochi programs are underrated because of the scandal. Miss her!
Yeah she is so elegant, beautiful here just like water here emotions she is totally feeling herself while doing it like she isn't performing but dancing in her own world like Disney Princess 💜 in fell in love with her 😘😍
Excuse me...but that's insulting. The new figure skaters can't even jump quads. They attempt quads, cheat on the technique, fall half the time, and still win for just trying >_< Only skater I've seen that can jump proper, textbook quads consistently well is men's Nathan Chen.
@@divinearia1601 totally agree. shame on them for declaring quads but not jumping properly and rarely land them successfully. makes me wanna puke. and then others would say, at least they try... what a joke! if you declare them, at least have the proper techniques...
@@divinearia1601 I agree with you. every time I watch the men's short program of the Pyeonchang 2018 Olympics I can't explain how amazing and talented they are. I feel bad for all those people who stopped watching the Olympics because their little princess didn't win in her second Olympic appearance. I really like Yuna but I think Mao Asada had to win in the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games. Mao had programs with higher technical quality than Yuna and Adelina.
i have no knowledge of figure skating but they way she moved was so effortless and graceful she looks so magical and breathtaking wow. especially when she jumped respect. i actually teared up watching her performance.
There are no words than can make this performance justice. She is truly a legend, she always proved the real champion she is. All the pressure she had, how can she was able to be so perfect in both artisty and technical content so many times, its just outstanding, really unbeliavable. THIS is a real gold medal performance, her rutine in sochi was worth gold too and I'm happy that the mayority of the world knows it. Forever she will be the real queen of figure skating in the books and in people's hearts.
She is the best, and still the best four years after, in Sochi! She was the real Sochi gold medal winner! That Russian girl isn't even as half as technically precise and artistically exhilarating as Yuna. One of the greatest figure skaters of all time!
She is incredible. I've never seen a more graceful skater than Yuna. Her jumps are textbook. She will always be the Queen of figure skating. Long live the queen!
It's 2020 and I still haven't seen a skater with her speed, elegance, musicality, and technical precision and height in their jumps better than Yuna Kim. Hence the reason I keep coming back to watch Kim's old performances to get my figure skating fix.
Yuna Kim may not have Quad jumps but her performance is on another level Her jumps are so soft It felt like she was cotton every time she lands Unlike other skaters it felt like every time they landed on their jumps it was like a ROCK felt on the ice
We all know, no one can ever replace or take her throne. There's a lot of people comparing Yuna and some other skaters from this generation. Yuna already told the media that there's no point of comparing her and other skaters who are competing in Pyeongchang since she is from a different generation. Her PCS was always so low, her scores were underscored, she was destined to suffer because of the careless Korean national skating union and other greedy countries. But the queen managed to become the legend, the idol for everyone in the world and stood up for her country who wasn't even supporting her when it was difficult for her. Now there's skaters getting 80s in short and over 150 in free. There's people saying Yuna would've lost if she competed in Pyeongchang. Though everyone knows that she is a great skater who comes out once in a century. We might not be able to meet someone like her before we die. I miss you so much, and I hope you can rest well after the 2018 Olympics. You did well. You did so much for the nation even after retiring.😊💞

She skates naturally like the way she breathes.
I would say she most likely has either ballet or drama classes behind her. Her presence is unbelievable tho
The way she takes her time to play with the audience in between elements. Incredible.
The amount of suffering and hardship that went into achieving this level of elegance and seeming effortlessness are what truly make her the queen
She has such control over her body that it's scary
She lives for it. You can see that in the way her skating is so fluid, she's simply being who she is.
I’ve never seen a more graceful skater than Yuna. Her landings are so delicate. It’s like she’s floating on ice

There must not be an African American person that has caught someone's eye yet. You don't need to be all mad and push the blame onto Asian Americans. It is completely unnecessary to the conversation. The person just wanted to say how graceful a KOREAN skater was and you start blaming Asian Americans for taking places in sports. What is wrong with you?
You call the Asians immigrant? Weren't all the whites in America immigrants too? ;)
it's not a free ride. IIRC i saw an interview with mirai nagasu talking about how hard her parents had to work to allow her to skate. Let's not make this a race issue - each of these athletes worked their asses off to get where they are, regardless of race. It could simply be that ice skating is not as popular a sport within the african american community as other sports.

The best free skate in not only Olympic history but figure skating history as well. It doesn't get any better...
+Vahan Avagyan Still she didn't need it to win, in any other place she would have won, adelina was just starting and she made mistakes that were ignored, besides the judgment in the SP was ridicuolus, a very unfair competition unfortunately.
Did you watch the professional analyst video regarding the scoring? Altogether Adelina got 26 extra marks when they should've been taken away for her multiple double foot landings, wrong edge jumps and the triple lutz triple toes which ended up just being triple flips due to the fact she pre-rotated, used the wrong edge, used the wrong foot, and didn't use her toes but the entire blade. Just for that ONE combination mistake she should have been penalized over 4 marks but instead she got the maximum. Subjective sports is one thing, not being able to correct BLATANT miscounting is another.

If you mention Medvedveda, you really don't know anything about figure skating...
Now her jumping routine is what most lady juniors do nowadays and for senior ladies it is even more technical difficulty than this.

Yes, Absolutely agree!
Her jump, her landing, very great perfect! Queen!!

Seriously. She was so well-rounded as a skater...expressive without being tacky, a great ease on the ice, speed, grace, jumped like a pro as you said and incredibly charismatic. To me, she was probably the most "complete package" skater I have seen in a while and I doubt we will see another like her for some time.

+amazing_butterfly By present ISU standards, this performance can have a higher score. But that just me. Scores are inflating nowadays and standards are going down. This record was made at a time that almost other performances of top skaters are 130s. Nowadays top skaters easily get 140s.
Already beaten easily by skewed judging

Textbook jumps, while being so artistically graceful, no wonder she's anointed as GOAT in Sports Illustrated. No pre- or under-rotations, flutz, or incorrect jump techniques for her, and CLEAN with No Drugs. She's delivered CLEAN Programs in All her 2 consecutives Olympics programs.

No matter how much this sport evolved, even others have already produced the quads, no one can beat this girl. She has all the elements. Everything that this sport requires. Her connection with the audience is just incomparable.
Most of the "quad" jumpers do triples actually, with their almost whole rotation done on the ice. And Yuna has almost zero prerotation in her jumps, they somehow look like quads for me because of that...

It's a tradition for me to come back here from time to time especially when there's a winter olympic taking place. This performance is textbook perfect.

Still my favorite. Her jumps are incredible and her musicality is untouchable.

Especially after Adelina admitted to a doped sample, that gold 100% belongs to Yuna.
@@off.arretezvousx I love that Yuna has never once spoken about Sochi or Adelina Cheatnikova. Adelina is still on Instagram arguing with people who say that the gold medal is Yuna Kim's.
@@bridgetbinion8494 Agreed. Kim never blamed Sotnikova or judges for the result. If Adelina was truly innocent about the result, she wouldn't argue or get mad about what others say about the scandal.
Came back here again after the doping scandal by russians. This brings me to tears evertime i watch it
After watching the mess in Beijing, I needed to watch this clip again. Gotta say, this is the best figure skating performance in history, period. She's the perfect combination of athleticism, artistry, grace, beauty, coquettishness. Even her facial expressions are perfectly in tune with the music and the skating. I wasn't sure if I was watching a skater, an actress, a ballerina or all of the above. This performance just can't be topped. Katarina Witt comes in second, and yes the Russian girls jump and spin faster now but they seem like spinning robots.
Completely agree with your appreciation
Kim Yuna is certainly incredibly talented and graceful skater. It's a fact. So I understand that personal opinion is always subjective, but still, it’s very wrong to call the rental of Russian girls a mess) they don’t objectively look like rotating robots and are not devoid of athleticism and grace)
@@КмллаХв The women's Olympic debacle this year was awful to witness, but no one can watch Valieva's short program and thing they've witnessed the movements of a soulless robot!
Yes. In the next olympic isu can change the name of this sport to ‘Jumping on ice event’. So russia can have all the medals.
I honestly think 2014 was even better performance wise. But 2010 was more impressive with the immense pressure she was under coming from a country with almost zero importance in the world of figure skating…in the MOST important event at the Winter Olympics. 🏅🏅
People might beat her technically now or in the future. But ice skating is more than technique. Yuna has a grace, and elegance that is hard to come by. She made it look effortless. I believe she is a once in a lifetime skater. I haven't seen another that has all the characteristics that she possesses on the ice. All while remaining humble. Not many like her.
Spot on! Even technically speaking, to this day nobody pulls off a triple lutz-triple toe like she does. I would argue that the actual quality of the jumps have stagnated or decreased since then: plenty of underrotation, pre-rotation, and wrong edge. Ladies skaters these days just seem better cuz of the score inflation trend overlooking many of these flaws.
1610maria u
1610maria Agree.. And are U from korea??
Pdx Paula honestly she's more technique skater than artist. There were only elements but no story, dance or musicality. No idea where those component points came from.
Veralsy Agree.. and are you from korea??
She is the best..the best if all, no question. Her elegance is next level.
Ten years later, I still come to this incredible performance. She made history and changed this sport forever. I recall I couldn't watch her live, because I was terrified she would miss something and lose her gold medal. No one since then made me feel so involved.
Same
Canadians make the best crowd. I just love their sportsmanship.
She's like walking poem.
GOAT!!
I found no one better than her. She deserved it. We can't imagine how hard she worked till the end. Thank her for all of her performances sincerely. Best wishes to her!!
Let’s not forget her gracefulness comes from complete mastery of the techniques. Textbook jumps, control of edges, speed and power in skating, beautiful body movement…. This is what figure skating is about. Having said that, I think her Sochi programs are underrated because of the scandal. Miss her!
My thoughts exactly.
it’s sad that figure skating lost its art form. all the new figure skaters do is jump to get points but yuna was the whole package. the standard
True
Yeah she is so elegant, beautiful here just like water here emotions she is totally feeling herself while doing it like she isn't performing but dancing in her own world like Disney Princess 💜 in fell in love with her 😘😍
Excuse me...but that's insulting. The new figure skaters can't even jump quads. They attempt quads, cheat on the technique, fall half the time, and still win for just trying >_<
Only skater I've seen that can jump proper, textbook quads consistently well is men's Nathan Chen.
@@divinearia1601 totally agree. shame on them for declaring quads but not jumping properly and rarely land them successfully. makes me wanna puke. and then others would say, at least they try... what a joke! if you declare them, at least have the proper techniques...
@@divinearia1601 I agree with you. every time I watch the men's short program of the Pyeonchang 2018 Olympics I can't explain how amazing and talented they are. I feel bad for all those people who stopped watching the Olympics because their little princess didn't win in her second Olympic appearance. I really like Yuna but I think Mao Asada had to win in the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games. Mao had programs with higher technical quality than Yuna and Adelina.
i have no knowledge of figure skating but they way she moved was so effortless and graceful she looks so magical and breathtaking wow. especially when she jumped respect. i actually teared up watching her performance.
Have you watched her Les Miserables and Adios Nonino program? They are all masterpieces.
It’s all about her technique and quality, it’s absolutely flawless and she is irreplaceable!
She is the whole package. Beauty, artistry, the jumps, choreography, and speed. What a magnificent young woman❤️
OMGGG! She looks like she’s FLYING! Especially in 2:24, when you focus on her, it really looks like she is Flying and it’s so MAGICAL!!
Yes, maybe her extensions are poor, but the the elegance, the speed and the ice coverage make her spirals beautiful!

TWO TIME GOLD MEDALIST⛸🎖
There are no words than can make this performance justice. She is truly a legend, she always proved the real champion she is. All the pressure she had, how can she was able to be so perfect in both artisty and technical content so many times, its just outstanding, really unbeliavable. THIS is a real gold medal performance, her rutine in sochi was worth gold too and I'm happy that the mayority of the world knows it. Forever she will be the real queen of figure skating in the books and in people's hearts.

She is the best, and still the best four years after, in Sochi! She was the real Sochi gold medal winner! That Russian girl isn't even as half as technically precise and artistically exhilarating as Yuna. One of the greatest figure skaters of all time!

Wow - a ballerina on ice. She dances on the ice with such grace.
It's 2020 and I still haven't seen a skater with her speed, elegance, musicality, and technical precision and height in their jumps better than Yuna Kim. Hence the reason I keep coming back to watch Kim's old performances to get my figure skating fix.
In this generation of younger korean skater,the only one who had the artistry like Yuna Kim is Eunsoo Lim and Haein Lim
@@sorrynotsorry5662 I think SeoYeong Wi is also a grace!!!!!!!
@@sorrynotsorry5662 You're right. I wish Young You will also focus on her artistry because her jumps are really good.
Yuna Kim may not have Quad jumps but her performance is on another level
Her jumps are so soft
It felt like she was cotton every time she lands
Unlike other skaters it felt like every time they landed on their jumps it was like a ROCK felt on the ice
still wondering how someone could have that high level of technicality, musicality and artistry at the same time.
We all know, no one can ever replace or take her throne. There's a lot of people comparing Yuna and some other skaters from this generation. Yuna already told the media that there's no point of comparing her and other skaters who are competing in Pyeongchang since she is from a different generation. Her PCS was always so low, her scores were underscored, she was destined to suffer because of the careless Korean national skating union and other greedy countries. But the queen managed to become the legend, the idol for everyone in the world and stood up for her country who wasn't even supporting her when it was difficult for her. Now there's skaters getting 80s in short and over 150 in free. There's people saying Yuna would've lost if she competed in Pyeongchang. Though everyone knows that she is a great skater who comes out once in a century. We might not be able to meet someone like her before we die. I miss you so much, and I hope you can rest well after the 2018 Olympics. You did well. You did so much for the nation even after retiring.😊💞
