[AndewithanE]

owe owe owe owe owe owe owe owe owe



[DottyDaughter]

She is NOT fat. It is precisely comments like that which causes eating disorders in healthy, young women. She has muscle, she is beautiful and athletic. Yes, she is a WOMAN with lovely curves... You can't expect her to stay rake thin like a kid for life. Pls be REASONABLE. Anyway she isn't there to fulfill our expectations of her but her own dreams.

Go Caroline! :D

[YTAKORR]

When I saw Caroline for first time, I said: OMG this girl will be big. Now she grew up and is fat ! :((

[jfluter]

@YTAKORR I think you've mistaken "fat" for AWESOME!

[thehotncold1234]

@YTAKORR are you fucking dumb? wtf is your version of "fat"?

[rutischi]

@YTAKORR scemooo

[preyasikr]

how can she do this? i mean its kinda impossible!

[schnisha95]

hmmmm.... i think i'll stick with pancakes...

[Paige41100]

dang!!!! i sooo wish i could do that!!

[dvdneely]

she does the impossible and makes it seem effortless!!!

[Christine1966]

wow...its all i can say :)

[mike112lola]

00:17 pause, ;))

[StuieMaaate]

beautiful spin!! absolutely gorgeous to watch!

[jfluter]

@Annafigureskate101 I'm starting Gamma/Delta in a few weeks as an adult skater, and like you, I'm light years away of being able to do that!

[lovlesk8r]

its sooo beautiful

[AndewithanE]

I'm kinda freaked out by this...

[Silverwolf1021]

wow-if tht was me-id get stuck like tht.... :)

[elenavlada]

THAT BACK! its crazy! she has alot of possible positions to concur!

[FifiDaSkater]

sripeat, i can do tht too.... but im 11, so im probably gonna stiff up in a few years... i can also do a split with both legs on a 6 inch box. i can do stretcher, biellman, and all the other spins. if u think about it, the pearl is hard, but when i do it, its not hard AT ALL.

[DianaDeLuna]

@FifiDaSkater You might not stiffen up as you grow. If you find the time to stretch every day, a body can keep flexibility for decades. When I was a teen gymnast, my coach and teammates nicknamed me "Flex" because I was bendy even by gymnast standards. Now I'm 41(!) and can still do oversplits on good days. I did lose back flexibility but that's because I suffered a neck injury in my 30s. So what you have to watch out for is injury. Take care of your body because you've only got one. ;o)

[FifiDaSkater]

no offense hummertrish, but ur TOTly overreacting. everyone has opinions. ps... dnt be so formal... (dear hummertrish)

[KatieShrimp2018]

A girl at my rink has this in her Long Program, but it isn't as good. It is sooooo pretty

[hummertrish]

Dear SkatingGirlDream,

I think you are making excuses for a rude comment that should never have been posted. I can read the comment in context with my own brain and know that "I don't

like her" is rude ... it doesn't say she doesn't like her teaching method. The comment was rude and uncalled for PERIOD.

perhaps you shouldn't tell others what they can read with their own eyes

if you want to do damage control for this rude comment go ahead but I don't buy it

[NoePalFashion]

that is some witch craft. It's so amazing how flexible people are.

[hummertrish]

Dear Higirrrrrl, Perhaps it is because you need to post stuff like you just did

That is the reason you "don't like her lol" ...As if you think that is a funny thing to say.

You are not a very nice person so no wonder you didn't "like" her. Nice people like her a lot are humble enough to take instruction from her.

I think the problem is YOU...You are too arrogant to recognize good instruction.

[TheSkatingGirlDream]

@hummertrish I think you're overreacting. What she means is she didn't like her coach as a skating instructor, not just a person. I had a coach named Marianne and i didn't like her as a instructor, but i like her as a person. She just wasn't for me. Her coaching technique didn't fit with me, doesn't mean she's not nice or i'm not nice. She added lol to not make it seem as if she was offending you or your statement. Just cuz she doesn't like the coach's teaching method doesn't mean shes not nice.

[hummertrish]

Her first coach she had was her best !!!

[higirrrrl]

@hummertrish I had lessons with her first coach and I don't like her lol. But it doesn't matter.

[danikaivylynn]

that is SO easy!

[lengai111]

Wow, this pirouette contradicts the laws of physics;)

[dancerboy123456789]

amazing



[HawxTeamDelta]

i wanna put my face on those !@#!@

[MsDaisy34]

[themaryse1208]

xoxox maryse

[persianchica77]

ahaha i tried to do tat... and i can only bring my foot to my headd... ahaha but the first move she did... i think i can do it.. it sure tho

[skatingstar1000]

[bexixx]

It's not possable to whitness the impossable :L thats the whole point of the meaning of the word impossable lol and magic well thats another story don't get me started but that womans obviously in her own little world lol

[figureskatingrock100]

[paigie900]

[7Lynette]

Is posible???????? WOW¡

[impula]

[melaragone]

uooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[ihearfireworks]

there is a disgusting perverted comment here by renjholic. can't it be deleted?

[Renjiholic]

@ihearfireworks Clearly you cannot read, or you would see that Steez420 left the comment in response to my innocent one reprimanding him for his sick declaration.

[ihearfireworks]

@Renjiholic my most sincere apologies. I am so sorry. Unlike the perv, you are a gentleman because

your reprimand to me was very mild and I appreciate that. I just misunderstood where the username appears

at the comment. As my grandchildren would say; MY BAD.

[batt1005]

how old is this girl

[skatingstar1000]

@batt1005 shes 14 they said play the video again

[audreyeatworld]

If I had to pick who has the best layback positions in the world, it'd have to be Caroline Zhang.

[Steez420]

Bet she can't do it on the dick

[Renjiholic]

@Steez420 She's only fourteen you perv.

[cutekitty9487]

I wish I could do that >.< I'm strong but not flexible :(

[EmzzIce]

Wow this is amazing !

[Misziluuvyou]

cutest smile at the end <3

[seventhveil1313]

thats beautiful

[strawberrykiwi20a]

What program is she doing i wanna see doing this program? I love that dress and she must have some really pretty music to go with it. Btw, she is too flexible lol. I don't even see how that's possible. But that's a beautiful spin.

[MileyZaraFan]

@strawberrykiwi20a lullaby fo a stormy night

[MileyZaraFan]

@MileyZaraFan for*

[ohanungsaya]

the girl has no spine.

[KEBokeh]

Her jumps may be weak and she may not be fast on the ice but damn the girl is flexible and that move is just awesome!

[marycocoa1]

She is my favorite skater ever ! :)

[101optimus]

100%flexible definetly,i love it

[MissFashionNista123]

that it sooo pretty!!!

[yogachick666]

Ok so does she come up with her upper body or does she pull her leg up and the rest follows?

[cookiesluvkreme]

@yogachick666 she straightens her leg on the ice, then pulls her body up (i.e. straightens her spine). VERY skilled, extremely difficult

[thehornypuppy]

I would do her in so different positions she could just write a book about it... :O~~~~~~

[sk8gr827]

How do you do that??? I want 2 learn......

[dogslovertjuh]

jij bent zo goed!! hoe jij zo door kan draaien en evenwicht nou complimenten for youy!!!!!!!!

[Mansio1]

thanks smurfiennes for being so understanding- god bless you xx

[tocute30]

as beautiful as mirai's

[tocute30]

can you make mirai's move even more slower in absolute detailed graphics.....

[Koomshakashakashaka]

yuna's better no offense

[smurfiennes]

what do u mean better in doing pearl spins? because ive never seen yuna doing a pearl at all.

[Mansio1]

@smurfiennes I never said that Yuna does pearl spins? when did i say that?????????

[smurfiennes]

@mansio1: i think its misunderstanding bw us cos my msg was intended for koomshakashakashaka actually, cos he/she said that yuna's better.

[Mansio1]

@samalhoodman2 thats not very nice. i DIDN;T MEAN FOR IT TO BE NASTY AND I NEVER EVEN MENT FOR IT TO BE RUDE.IF I WAS A PUSSY,I WOULDN'T BE SAYING THAT SHE WAS A AMAZING SKATER AND THAT SHE INSPIRES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[isabelleur]

this is just wonderfull!

i love it!

i tried it but it's realy inposible!

[smurfiennes]

i think u shouldnt stop trying cos it takes a lot of hard work and hopefully someday u will be able to do it. she can do it, so can u!!! just be patient and work hard, ok? figure skating is a tough sport, i know that cos my lil girl used to do that. good luck!

[mehatyr]

Uh, skaters can do whatever move they wish to. Nobody 'owns' a move. If it's someone's 'signature' it usually means they are the only ones that like/can do it. Besides, she is not the first. Many people have done it, and it was even Tonya Harding's signature long before it was Yuna's

[smurfiennes]

in spins department, only zhang and mirai are the best out there. look for a vid where zhang took further the camel spin by holding on to the bent leg. ull be amazed!

[indysk8r32]

@Mansio1 are you talking about the camel that Yu Na does where she inverts and appears to be spinning "upside down" on the outer back edge? If so, then any skater can "steal" another's spin because any move any skater does is able to be used/attempted by anyone else (if they copy an entire routine of someone else's though, that's a different story)

[IceskaterDK]

oh my god..

[PugzRock1]

Thats probaly gonna help me when ice skate i go 3 times a week sometimes 2 times a week!

[tinymavy]

that is amazing. The strength required and the control to morph form the pearl up into the belliman is so beyond what most people think when they see her do this.

[mcr251]

and the ability to bend like that with out her spine breaking in half.

[isakswings]

My daughter loves her! This spin is beautiful!

[figureskate99]

how could i do this.. i can do this position off-ice.. but how could i position myself to spin like this? help.. i want to do this spin on-ice :D:)

[spunkysk8er1997]

do a lot of hair cutters, laybacks leaning back that far, and once you get that, you just grab your leg, also do it on your spinner.

[123ItsMeMary]

WOW! She is flexible!

[Xavo333]

VERY, flexible!!

XD

[dvdneely]

it defies belief that she can do this, and do it so beautifully! i think she's amazing and someone to watch very closely in years to come!

[jordrewnay]

WOW

[Wanderlussst]

wow.. O_O she's wonderful

[XxmisshannahkexX]

she is amazing !!

[shmoofoobean44]

i love this little girl, she will be the best!!! she is just too amazing

[venushalley]

wow, amazing... she is so flexible...

[hihiomg8080]

She's an amazing skater! But why did she call it the pearl? Why not the zhang or something that states that caroline zhang created this spin!

[Sumeow]

because her head looks like the pearl!! like if you cover the leg that's spinning, then her head is the pearl and its inside an oyster! (her arms and the leg she's holding form oyster halves)

[banessa24]

the head is the pearl and I heard her mom invented the spin

[Sumeow]

no her mom named it. how would her mom invent it when shes the one skating... o.0

[smurfiennes]

agreed w u, but i supposed shes too humble to name it after herself? isnt she adorable?

[chimchar817]

awee adorable smile at the beginning:] aghh i envy her! haha

[IloveBalletEmma]

beautyful

[fadstar14]

Her head nearly touched her bottom o__O

[pinoykiddxoxo]

dang. I know how to do the bielman spin on land. but on that hecka low dang. that's scary.

[sripeat]

it takes great strenght to lift her chest up like that! she is starting out soooo low her head is almost on the ice then to come up like that all the while spinning is amazing!

[figuresk8rtripleaxel]

she has a great future

[ChimpMario]

wow she is amazing

[smileyk809]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[tinymavy]

WOW
