Yukina Ota 2003 Skate Canada S.P.(U.S.TV. version)

[sugiyuku]

アーティスティックでありながらスポーティー。ちゃんとスケート­とバレエのスキルが土台にある芸術性だから非常に爽やか。顔芸（­太田氏は音にあわせて頭をくねらせる）、立ち止まって踊る（太田­氏は猛スピードで滑りながら踊る）アーティスト気取りとは格が違­う。どの時間を一時停止してもすべての瞬間が絵になる選手。色々­と誤摩化してる選手は一時停止した時に醜い瞬間が沢山あるよ。

her musicality just hits me to the core....

one of the most beautiful female skaters ever, and so uniquely her own.

もう何回みたか分からない。

[yamabeakahito]

No doubt this program is LEGEND!

[TMSW11]

most beautiful skater ?

far too far !

[amandakova]

Elegant skater!!!!

[uwoeric]

Elegant down to her finger tips, such a beautiful artist!! And it's so rare to hear Dick and Peggy rave about a non-American spiral or layback spin, so you know it was good, haha.

63.90 is a very good score even today.

[2008mapleleaf]

Very unique and impressive program!

[31CarpeDiem]

I love her.

she is the most beautiful skater.. to me.

I will always miss her

from korea

[shineluvslambiel]

She's one of the most beauitful skaters indeed...

[shigepom]

I'm really sorry about her retirement.

[shineluvslambiel]

Not the only, but definitely the most artistic Japanese skater ever, I agree.

[xieng25]

i have seen a lot of sps. i like yuna kim's at wc 2007 and mao asada's at skate america 2006. both are sensational. but my personal favourite is this one. when i saw it the first time it just took my breath away. i can watch this again and again and never get tired of it. just .... wow !!!

[Ver20ber]

So beautiful!!! I like the way she moves her head with music at 01:03

[tinymavy]

what happened to this girl? such potential!

[oscillating]

She had a severe ankle injury which bothered her for a few years. She returned to competition now, but she does not have a full set of triples. She placed 7th at her Nationals a week ago, the videos are up on YouTube.

[shineluvslambiel]

oh my god i miss her so much...when is yukina ever gonna come back?

[oscillating]

She came back - she placed 7th at her Nationals last week. She has not regained her form completely, though - she has only two reliable triples (toe and salchow). She placed 7th.

[Marguerite21]

Very graceful.
