She was not crying not to get gold medal. She cried just because it was her last official performance. She is already beyond gold medal.
@@asianbosschanneliscloserto4895 oh poor your only achievement is to be born white, right? How are racists still not extinct?
Who?
wait, was it? why tho? is she stopped or just taking a break?
horanghae she retired after this performance
@@honeyjeon9060 pls also answer the 'why' question :(
Yuna doesn’t need a medal. SHE NEEDS A DIAMOND CROWN
This is My name right!!
This is sport. She might deserve a crown but she still has not got her medal just because she was too self-confident and did not pay attention to new rulings of FS federation : if it were in Vancouver, she would have won. But it was 4 years later, her jumps were technically easier than Adelina's ones, and her steps too. It's a real pity for her, she is an amazing skater, but she lost this battle before it stared because she even had no official coach who could inform her! This is sport..
@@cath1176 what a foolish man..
Adelina- flutz(using inedge jumping lutz), too-foot landing, unclear edge uses in step sequence.
Does she really deserve gold medal? Absolutely NOT.
She CANNOT do clear lutz. Adelina's 3Lutz should have been underscored, but it did not because of unpartial judging. Yuna's was just texbook.
Adelina did too-foot landing. Do you need more explains? Lol
And More triple did not mean more higher technical score of jump.
Jumps is been scoring by quality and execution ability of jumps, not by numbers of triple jump. If your saying is true, Mao should have got highest tech.score because Mao had 8 triples.
How did you argue that Adelina's step is more harder than Yuna's? You should have know that moving arms a lot is not meaning more harder step sequence. After studying figure, if you would watch Adelinas free, you know that. Her step was full of just unclear edge uses. Plz dont overestimate Adelinas figure technics.
@@cath1176 She's not over self-confident, she just gave her best for her performances. She did pay attention to new rules, but she couldn't jump 3Loop for a long time due to her spine injury, WHAT SHE HAS DONE THAT NIGHT WAS HER TECHNICAL MAXIMUM, AND DESERVES HIGHER GOE.

It is not just figure skating.
It is an art.
Yuna Kim is the best ever
I agree with you! 👏🏻
Through evolution, athletes are trying and accomplishing higher jumps but I don’t know if any woman will ever match the skating skills of Yuna. There is such an art form to her skating that I have never seen before. She draws you in.
Je pense sincèrement que que Yüna est une patineuse majestueuse, une artiste mais malheureusement son niveau technique est trop faible… ce n’est pas simplement de la danse sur glace, c’est un autre sport. Kamila Valieva combine les deux, une technique exceptionnelle et une grâce somptueuse.

did you guys know she never even complained once about this event (well, any other event in her life)? she said "i'm not the judge, so i cannot say anything about the result" she is so humble and she even gave sotnikova a hug after the event, even though sotnikova only held out her hands for a handshake.
She held her head high even when she was robbed! Graceful off and on the ice
singingpinkclover yes, because south korea's power in figure skating was very weak any other country(russia, japan, north america...). her country have not power..
ikr! She even smiled once the scores were released!
Yes, queen yuna's performance was amazing, also queen yuna is quite gentle and strong person!

This is an olympic program, not because it was skated at the Olympics, but because it achieved something that every skater hopes to achieve: at each moment it felt like an Exhibition skate. It was free, it was sensual, it was poignant, but above all, it was real. She wasn't pretending for the judges, and she wasn't constantly thinking about rotation and transitions and the stuff of junior skaters.
She skated like a woman who has nothing to prove, and that is why, she is Queen Yuna.

SHAME ON THE JUDGES. SHAME ON THE ISU. YUNA DESERVED THE GOLD
And Karolina not?
@@vikis9304 Carolina silver duh, you know the main point is that Adelina did not deserve gold.
@@simpletruth5927 I never told, that I state that Adelina does deserve gold and other girls were much worse. But i cannot call it robbery from Yuna. Most objective opinions states they were really close. That's debatable, but sorry, not all the fans of FS sees Yuna's program as perfect. It was not (under-rotated jumps, easier program and so on). But from discussions it looks like that (and you will not see any critics of Yuna here and Karolina doesnt make sense). A lot of people thinks, Karolina actually deserves gold. But I don't think I will get objective discussion in here. I just tried to make a decision for myself, not to prove something or offend. I made it. You have your opinion and others value it.

What makes you a skating expert qualified to judge international events? How much experience do you have judging skating? All of these bias accusations are about average Jane Does & Joe Blows puffing themselves up as experts when they are really ignorant & unwilling to educate themselves. Accusing judges of bias, corruption, crookedness & cheating is any easy way to tarnish skaters you hate. Its a cheap way to discredit a sport & skaters you know nothing about. But attacking the experts to make yourselves feel more important than the experts? That's evil. These frauds & liars are working hard to destroy a beautiful & complex sport that's basically fair. I will continue to enjoy the Olympic spectacle & the beauty of this complex and elegant sport because I'm willing to educate myself.
THE TRUE 2014 OLYMPIC CHAMPION. Yuna has nerves of steel.
just here after watching the Beijing Olympics, but absolutely she's still the best figure skater ever...
Yes exactly. And that's why I'm watching Yu Na and Carolina since yesterday ☺☺😂
Yuna Kim's figure skating in 2014 Olympics is better than 2010, almost perfect. In contrast, Adelina's skating was rough, and several errors by our bare eyes. Thus, Adelina really has stolen the Yuna Kim's gold in 2014 Olympics.

Everyone knows the truth.
She's the true gold medalist, the two-time Olympic champion.
After watching the performances in Beijing winter olympic, I ended up coming back to this performance. No one can perform so beautifully and with full of elegance like Yuna.

@@user-tq1ds2wz4n Two forms of corruption, at the end it's the same, INJUSTICE all over the place.
Not really, she had 6 triple jumps, and the other top 4 skaters had 7 or 8 triples. She was skating an outdated routine, she score was lower than in Vancouver.
here in 2022, still such a legendary performance
How can the ending be so perfectly matching to the music? She’s a legend!
Her choreographer, David Wilson is also a legend
it's a tango it's supposed to be danced to
It's like I'm watching water. She moves so gracefully I am so shocked she got 2nd place.
yeah, sotnikova did great (other than that obvious two foot landing) but it was like watching a rod of iron? just jumping around, doing what the choreo says to do, and the way she waved mid-performance and such made her seem really cocky. when yuna started her routine though it was like watching wind dancing, it was magical. i'm really disappointed that she didn't get gold, she really, really deserved it.
She is not skating.
She married to the music while dancing on the ice
Wow beautiful word i like it...
Its true

Yes. Indeed.
But yuzuru hanyu is better than her...
@@natasyaamelia4162 you r so stupid. yuzuru is men.Yuna is women.
I haven't seen the performance like this. This is amazing, gorgeous, and beautiful. She is real gold medalist. No doubt.
Russians.....Even though they gave Yuna a silver, I truly believe in my heart that the best women figure skater in history is Yuna and it's not close. Her step sequence and gestures are what I like about her. Not only she has top techniques but also, her artistry is the best in history. You may argue there are better jumpers than her, but no one has better expression to the music than this woman..including men.
Actually there are no better jumpers than Yuna, and never will be, for the simple fact that her jumping technique is literally textbook perfect -- not to mention her jumps are aesthetically perfect, as well as so big in height and distance that they can only be compared to male skaters'. The only thing that's arguable is that there's never been anyone who has jumped as well as Yuna in the history of the sport. ^^
dude idek remember the name of who won LOL yuna kim is the real winner and everyone knows it and she don't need a gold medal to prove it
@@Minnie123.__. Adelina wasn't even close to Carolina Kostner either, yes her base value attempt was higher but she had 2-3 URs that weren't called out, her 2 foot after the 2 loop had a negative GOE but was still under what should have been deducted (she only had about a -0.9 when in fact it should've been -2 at least)
I think Yuna Kim is great, but there are many beautiful women with artistry, such as Kamila Valieva, Evgenia Medvedeva, and Yuzuru Hanyu from men

@@agirl4677 Totalmente de acuerdo con ambas...

I got over this about knowing the truth about FS, she was skating an outdated routine, she had 6 triples when the other top 4 skaters had 7 or 8 triples. If Mao and Yulia hadn't fallen, she wouldn't have even gotten a medal. It's obvious she skated beautifully, but in Figure Skating the BV is the only thing that counts, and her's was a lower score from Vancouver 2010.
@@Bebe-ge2te NOT TRUE. Why do you keep in denial? You don't know anything about figure skating if you think like that. Yuna had a higher BV in the short and still adelina with the weakest combination and mistakes was tied with her?! (that was BS) besides you have those two scores (short and long) AND you also have PCS, the VB was only 1.5 of difference, something very easy for Yuna to compensate because she know how to do things better that sotnikova, do you know that the GOE is? Do you know that mistakes makes you loose points right? Why it's important to do the jumps in the correct way. Well Sotnikova had A LOT OF MISTAKES that were ignored, she was helped by the judges since the short program because there's no way that she had the same level of GOE that Yuna with all her experience and polished movements besides CORRECT TECHNIQUE. That's the problem, not just the technical elements (even if you don't count adelina's two foot landing, flutz etc) with only the GOE Yuna had this in the bag since the short program. I'm amazed that you don't really know what counts in this sport and despite all the evidences that had come to the light since that day you STILL try to defende the fraud that this competition was...how can you be so naive?
I haven't seen another skater feel the music as much as Yuna kim
Agreed, I think the same. She is the most musical skater ever. She is a very talented singer as well.
Yea, nobody could get merged as one with the music as much as her
She's amazing.
That is a gift that Yuna was blessed with. Carolina Kostner is another skater who is extremely musical as well. But, for me, Yuna was the epitome of beauty in skating ~
I don't think you can teach it at that level. it's a natural feeling.
a whole decade later, still crystal clear that yuna kim shouldve been gold. she skated with such grace and elegance, landing her jumps clean, and somehow got beaten by an unknown girl who skated like a stick and landed her jump with two feet. ridiculous.
its crazy its been a decade omg it feels like yesterday
>clean jumps
are you talking about a lutz with a clear underrotation?
@@user-lm5tg1ne8v but she was still cleaner than Sotnikova🤔
@@user-lm5tg1ne8vincomparably million times better than sotnikova still. That was one and only mistake she made whole season including world championships before olympic but still barely noticeable. When sotnikova landed with both feet still didn’t get any penalty.
Yuna Kim's performances will forever be the goddess standard in figure skating. No gold medals awarded by crooked judges or won through the use of performance-enhancing drugs by 'successors' of Yuna Kim, will change this fact.

'The Goddess'
Sad to say this, but after this incident happened Russia have been dominating over women's figure skating. They are probably take over Yuna's olympic records by 30 to 40 more points. Anyway, I have never seen any women figure skaters performed better than Yuna in artistic way. Recent Russian figure skaters only good at jumping technique. Their skates so annoying, so that I couldn't pay attention to their choreography on the music. Yuna was not. That is all I can say.
nope Yuna is not pretty at all.
Some young figure skaters (ladies) nowadays should really learn how to jump technically correct like Yuna instead of doing quadruple jumps with bad techniques... Yuna is so pleasing to watch. And her jumps are effortless.
so true!
It’s why I can’t stand to watch women’s figure skating anymore. Add in ISU’s corruption and they’ve lost all the respect of women’s figure skating fans.
Also idk if it’s just me but I found the women’s bracket of the pyeonchang olympics boring. There’s just no artistry anymore.
They must learn how to skate with the music perfectly from Yuna too
I miss the era of the 2000s and early 2010s, when Yuna Kim and Mao Asada were dominating this era ~~ They were, in my opinion, two of figure skating's best.
yes exactly ! a lot of skaters use fancy jumps to cover up bad technique, honestly wish more were trained as well as yuna
The last emperor of figure skating.
One of the greatest program that skated with the music so insanely well
2023 and still tears in my eyes.
I think the most amazing thing in Yuna's skating is emotion. It's not just about techniques. She has amazing sense of music and dance and knows how to express it. Can't help falling into her performance. If I were the judge, I would give her about 798908547398203948750points for component score
Eunki Cho absolutely- shes the only genuine national skater that truly made me cry happy tears. No matter the age or how old this may be, her performances will always be a gold in my truest and deepest heart. Id give her infinity plus 1
I agree. And to convey emotions, i think she has to get the techniques to a T like no one else. And she’s done exactly that.
Yesss I compelitely agree. Skating isn't only about techniques byt also the emotions and bonding with the music
Omg me too she really feels the music! That’s what makes her so distinct from the others. Her skating looks like real art.
She makes a double axel look like it's nothing more than childs play. She is so amazing and you can tell she has taken plenty of ballet classes and dance classes. Everything from her posture, to movements, to hand gestures, it is ALL fluid and in scync. A truly amazing skater.
Channah Sorensen Agree.. Her jumps look quite easy but it's not. 3lz-3to is hardest jump for female following to triple axel which only mao asada does. But she jumps that kind of so easily that's why it looks easy. She jumps way higher and make a brilliant jump with amazing speed. But she naturally does it. Comparing to other female players they would fail definietely. And you mentioned 2axels and it is very difficult for others but easy for her. It is called inner bound position and jumps naturally. Actually innerbound position is the hardest way to jump double axel. Isn't it amazing??
Channah Sorensen every skaters do ballet/dance classes but Yuna's movements are way more beautiful than anyone else's. I am sure that besides hard training, it has to with her natural talent and exceptional musicality, too.
Agree. She made everything so simple and elegant and fluid.
당시 어렸던 나는 김연아 마지막 올리픽에서 편파판정으로 금메달을 따지 못한거에 분하고 눈물났는데 나이들고 다시 보니까 분한것 보다도 김연아가 무슨 마음으로 경기에 임했을지를 더 생각하게 되는 거 같다. 승부보다 다른 가치가 더 크다는 것. 그녀에게 메달 색은 중요치 않다는 것. 본인의 방식대로 아름답게 마무리한 것. 선수생활 하는 내내 수없이 많은 편파판정과 부상에 누구보다 억울하고 힘들었을텐데 견디고 이겨내서 멋지게 은퇴 할 수 있다니 진정한 스케이터고 스포츠정신이고 어른이 아닐까.. 나뿐만 아니라 많은 사람들이 다시 보러 오고 기억하는게 진정한 가치인 거 같다.

Yuna Kim for me is the greatest musician for single skaters ever.
She is real dancer and actress on the ice who know how to express emotional to match the tone of the music better than anyone.
Who can skate a tango like this especially for Long Program? No one. Yuna was the winner of the night for sure. Skating skills, Transitions, Interpretation, Choreography, Musicality. My scoring = 10 of 10.
Yes, maximum 80 points for PCS!
no Mao Asada was winner of the night, and she should have won the freeskate section, her skate was historic and mindbobling
@@wsfggf LMAO!
@@wsfggfagreed. Mao should've won the free skate. But yuna should've won the SP and overall.
lol not really. mao's acting is somewhere to no existence. I could hardly see her conection with the music. She had little awareness of her posture and paid little mind to controlling her upper body, which took a great deal of aesthetics from her performance.@@wsfggf
Her jumps are perfect, but her level of musicality and artistry are on another level. I think thats the reason people love her. Its not just jumping like super mario bros, she really connects with the song. In her performances music is not just BGM, its actually part of the act. Its like watching ballet on ice.
Her mix of expressive choreo and jumps is what makes me gravitate towards her the most~~ That's how much she enjoys the sport. I saw her 2013 Worlds Championship video performance she did in London, Ontario, and that's a prime example of how artistic and expressive she is, and it makes for a beautiful watch.
LOL, Super Mario Bros!! I do agree with you.
Yes. I feel like this performance should be posted in an art museum. It’s not only an amazing feat of athletism, but an artistic masterpiece.

It seriously deserves a gold. This was better than that other girl... Sotnivoka was it?
Sadly she was robbed because russia wanted their first gold medal in women's figure skating.

How funny some people are to think that all Yuna fans are Korean...
@@ziruibai587 not really funny it's just a rare existence that sometimes you'd like others to know. Just saying 😊
Me too
For the benefit of all confused writers on this topic as well as for the general public let me clarify once and for all the facts concerning the scoring and show why Yuna Kim should have won gold. I will only address the scoring for the free program, although the scoring for the short program was also highly dubious and has attracted a lot of criticism.
As is common knowledge, the free program score for each skater is the sum of their TES (technical element score) and their PCS (program component score), the two scores carrying roughly equal weight. The TES in turn is the sum of the base difficulty value for each of the twelve technical elements, e.g. a triple Lutz and the corresponding GOE (grade of execution) score.
Now, each of the nine judges awards a grade, an integer from -3 to +3 for each technical element reflecting the quality of the execution. For every technical element, each of these values carries a specific numerical value, as determined by the ISU SoV (Scale of Value) chart. The highest and the lowest values are then discarded and the average is taken of the remaining seven values. This average is the GOE score for the element.
Yuna Kim's TES comprised of a base difficulty score of 57.49 and a GOE score of 12.20 giving a total TES of 69.69. Adelina Sotnikova's base difficulty score of 61.43 and GOE score of 14.11 gave a total TES of 75.54. Before we start delving into the details of the scoring, we must mention that Kim's base score should have been higher to begin with. More details will be found below.
Let's begin with Adelina's triple Lutz- triple toeloop (3L+3T) jump combination which was her first technical element of the program. A review has shown that she made an incorrect entry. It should have been made with a back outside edge, but hers wasn't (skaters call the mistake a "flutz"). This error carries a mandatory -0.7 GOE score but in fact she received a GOE score of +1.00. It turns out that one of the judges even gave her a base GOE score of +3.00 (remember that +3 is the highest GOE grade that can be awarded for each technical element). Furthermore, the second jump in the combination was under-rotated by more than a 1/4 turn. By ISU rules this means that the base value of the element should have been reduced by 30%, in this case by 1.80 points.
Next, we recall that Sotnikova messed up the triple flip-double toeloop-double loop combination in the middle of her routine for which she received a 0.90 GOE deduction. ISU rules stipulate that a step-out (in this case a stumble) carries a mandatory unscaled 2 point deduction translating to a 1.40 GOE deduction. So we realise that she received 0.50 points more than she ought to have for the error, notwithstanding the fact that her wildly tilted axis of rotation for the double loop should have incurred an extra GOE penalty. So for the two jump combinations, Sotnikova received at least 4.00 GOE points MORE than she ought to have and this even before we begin the head-to-head comparisons of the technical elements.
Be that as it may, we know that she received a GOE score of 14.01 for the remaining ten technical elements of the program. This is 2.81 points more than Yuna's GOE score for ALL of her twelve technical elements COMBINED. Except for the 3L+3T, NONE of the comparable jumps yielded Yuna a higher GOE score. This is very strange, as we recall that she executed them all flawlessly and especially as her jumps were cleaner with better mid air positioning and travelled further as well as being generally around 10cm higher off the ice than the Russian's. In the triple flip Adelina received a GOE of +1.50 whereas Yuna received only +1.20. It is worth noting that in this jump the Russian pre-rotated by nearly 180 degrees whereas the Korean did not pre-rotate at all, a fact which should have resulted in a swing of GOE points in the latter's favour.
In the triple Salchow, Adelina received a GOE of +1.20 whereas Yuna received +0.90. Replay shows that Adelina's jump was again rather poor, hardly rising above the ice. For the double axel, Adelina received a GOE of +1.07, whereas Yuna received +0.79, this in spite of the Korean jumping towards the end of the program for which there is a 10% GOE bonus. For the layback spin, Adelina received a GOE of +1.07, with Yuna receiving +0.64. For the change foot combination spin, Adelina received a GOE of +1.21, with Yuna receiving only +0.71.
No right thinking person would therefore deny that Yuna's GOE scores in all of the above categories should at the very least match the Russian's, if not exceed by a significant margin. Even if we are extremely generous to Adelina and we match the GOE scores for the comparable elements above, simple arithmetic shows that Yuna's TES should already be increased by at least 1.81points.
Furthermore, Yuna received a LOWER GOE for the triple Lutz- triple toeloop combination (+1.60) than in all of her previous international competitions. As was clear to see, it was executed perfectly. It merited a GOE of at least +2.00 as it has done throughout her career. It is also worth noting that in the choreographed sequence for which they both received +1.50, the Russian almost lost her balance towards the end.
Let us now consider the step sequence GOE marks for which Adelina received +1.70 (level 4) and Yuna +1.14 (level 3). Now, this is where the rigging truly came into its own and I will explain why later. For each of the non-jump elements, the panel decides the level of difficulty, which is an integer between 1 and 4. Now a higher level earns a higher base difficulty score. However, in the case of the step sequence, a higher level not only earns a higher base score but crucially, also a HIGHER GOE. Let me be more specific- suppose one step sequence is deemed to be a level 3 and another a level 4. An award of +3 GOE grade to both attempts in fact translates to +2.1 GOE points for the latter but only +1.5 GOE for the former and +2 GOE grade translates to +1.4 GOE and +1.0 GOE respectively. It turns out that Yuna was given only a level 3 whereas Adelina a level 4. This was also highly questionable- even a casual observer would have noticed that the Russian was somewhat shaky in her footwork and noticeably less assured than the Korean.
Impartial judges would have therefore, at the very minimum, awarded Yuna with the same level and the GOE score as her Russian counterpart for the step sequence.
With all of the above points taken into consideration, simple arithmetic shows that Yuna's TES should have been increased by at least 2.97 points. Add to this the further mandatory 4.00 Base Value point deduction Adelina's should have received for the jump errors and we end up with a total swing of 6.97 points.
Now, the difference in the final scores between the two skaters was 5.48 points. Hence merely on the basis of a minimal correction to the TES alone, Yuna Kim should have been crowned as Olympic champion.
Next, consider the PCS (program component score) which evaluates the artistic merit of the program. Five categories are assessed: skating skills, transition, performance/execution, choreography and interpretation. Each is marked out of 10, averaged and then multiplied by a factor of 1.6. Sotnikova scored an average of 9.30 out of 10 to give a PCS of 74.41, including a mark of 9.50 for choreography. This is compared to Yuna Kim's PCS of 74.50. Again, any impartial observer will agree that Yuna Kim's performance in all of the five categories above was of a far superior quality, especially in the choreography and interpretation sections. That Sotnikova got to within 0.09 of Kim in the PCS is simply ludicrous.
Let me finish by addressing the one unresolved question alluded to above, namely how is it possible that Kim's base difficulty TES score for the step sequence was manipulated. The answer lies not with the judges but with the technical controller and his two assistants who ALONE have the authority to set the difficulty level of the spins, the step and the spiral sequences. It turns out that the controller was a Russian, Alexander Lakernik, who was the former vice president of the Russian figure skating federation and that the assistant technical specialist was a former Russian, Olga Baranova, who apparently just so happened to be a former skating coach of Sotnikova.
So all this leads to just one inescapable conclusion- that Yuna Kim was robbed of her rightful Olympic gold medal in Sochi. And such has been the subtlety and skill with which the scoring was massaged that many commentators have yet to grasp exactly how the manipulation took place.
Wow! you must be the most prestigious presiding judge!! Were they eligible to judge Yuna Kim's performance???
lol biased
you didnt mention Kim's underrotation
no way Sotnikova's jumps 10cm lower lol
also her spins and splits are better
Sotnikova had way more passion in her performances
i agree that Sotnikova got lucky to get that score
but she deserved gold
But you forgot the deduction that should have been made for Yuna's under-rotated, over GOE'd solo lutz. That would be around -3. Adelina's tech was better than Yuna's, because she did one more triple and had better spins. PCS is where the judging was suspect. Adelina's marks were generous, to say the least.
구운토마토 She's always been known as a strong jumper. Her technical base value was 4 points higher than Yuna's to start. Her spins were noticeably better and she got a higher level on her layback. I'm not even saying that Adelina should have won. I really don't know who should have won if the judging had been perfect. Maybe Carolina, even. All I am saying is that both Adelina and Yuna got credit for one under-rotated jump. And that even if Yuna's lutz could be credited, it didn't deserve positive GOE, which it got.
Gfjchsel Gg It can't be exactly the same because the junior programs are only 3.5 minutes in length. Didn't Tarasova choreograph for Adelina? I agree her components scores were too high.

When I watch her skate she makes me cry. So much passion,art, joy, class, skill in her skating and it just takes my breath away.
never seen a silver that is brighter than the gold and a gold that is dirtier than the silver
After all this time, I still wondered why she couldn't get the gold. But then I realized she was a diamond. A diamond that doesn't need to be represented by a gold medal. She will forever be the Queen that had graced upon the field of ice.
mish098aimer I'll just second what you said about Yuma. She really is a once-in-a-lifetime skater. I'll probably never see anyone like her again. Her beautiful, marvelous, and courageous performance at the Sochi Olympics has been firmly and completely ingrained in my memory-vault. I'll never forget it as long as I live. As far as male figure skating goes, I don't watch it, because it looks so ... so ... Ah, let's just leave it at that.
Her solo 3Lutz is literally accelerate speed going into it faster than any men doing solo triple or quad in Beijing 2022 in my eye.
The best step not just in competition but maybe one of the best in history of women single skating. Unparelled musicality
It's an absolute joke that, among other things, Yuna's step sequence was given a level 3 while Adelina's was given a level 4 by the three-member technical panel, headed by none other than the former head of Russian skating. That panel had only one non-Russia allied member on it.
@@bronzenrule All I remember is Sotnikova waving her hands like Shirley Temple. It was a juvenile performance and it is still as hard to accept today as it was then.
@@Tenebarum Love your Shirley Temple analogy. ^^
@@bronzenrule I was watching a video breaking down Yuna and Sot’s jumps. Not only did Sot not have a lutz, it wasn’t even a flip. It was a loop. Not one of her toe jumps were actual toe jumps. So she won with prerotated AND undertotated loops and salchows. I knew it was bad, but not that bad.
@@Tenebarum Know the video you're talking about. It does a great job of breaking down both of their jumps so that the layperson could immediately understand that we're not exaggerating when we say, Yuna was robbed blind.

I'm continuing to watch over and over this gold performance and I can't still get rid of the rage for what happened that time during Sochi Olympics. This free state was absolutely gorgeous, from passion to drama, only Yuna could master a difficult music choice like that. Wow, I feel so strange even eight years after this tragedy. Not just a skater, but a true artist. She will be a legend forever, eternal. Thank you Yuna for such strong emotions and for this journey with you. I miss you so much! There will not be another athlete like you.
У аделины технически программа была намного сложнее нежели программа юны. Одной артистикой все не вывезешь. Безусловно люблю юну,но аделина заслужила золота как никто другой.
@@lina9242 I don't blame the winner girl of Sochi event, because it wasn't her the real problem, but a bigger situation than her. That russian athlete was quite a victim of what happened. Many people, unfortunately, don't even recall her name. What I honestly think, even after 8 years by now, is that the quality of the winner's skating was impossible to compare with that of Kim Yuna. There were made so many technical errors like the Lutz jump with a flat/inside edge (not called by the tecnical panel), more than one triple jump was underrotated, the combination 3-2-2 had a step out after the final loop jump. The step sequence was not intricate like that of Kim Yuna, the same for the components score. I feel sorry for that skater, it was not her fault. Yuna, from the other hand, is even now an example of fair athleticism and beauty in her sport, so she will be forever recognized as the best figure skater in the world. She has gone over the medals, she is eternal, like a hero for new generations of young people and, of course, future skaters.

It seems like Yuna is from different planet where figure skating is an art piece. Her performance exists at a different level from other skaters. She is always truly immersed in the music, emotion, and character and looking like nothing matters than achieving her high excellence. She also has whole packages: power, speed, accuracy, elegance, and expressiveness.
She deserved more than a gold medal, maybe a platinum one. I am very thankful to witness Yuna’s performance, because I know that this kind of perfection is something happening once in the figure skating. She will be missed whenever I watch other skaters skate but never reach her level, never make me moved to tears. Sotnikova is also a good skater with powerful skills. However, she will be remembered as a questionable medalist while Yuna remembered as a true champion in history.
