2011 Worlds: Yuna Kim short program - from Universal Sports

[superkoo8]

TARA NEEDS TO SHUT HER TRAP. Way to ruin the awesomeness of the short program.

[fagott821]

the reporter is so stupid...needs to shut up!

[CrystalSwan24]

That woman said something along the lines of "that magic that she usually brings when skating is just not here for me right now." WTF LADY?!?! WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT?!?! YUNA KIM IS THE MOST AMAZING SKATER THERE IS, NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK!!! I can't even find words to express how good Yuna Kim is at skating and how beautiful and breathtaking it is to watch her perform, even on YouTube

[bitokrnhoney]

Commentator is annoying. All she talks about is how she's seen Yuna nail the jump all week & how SHE didn't expect her to miss the first jump and how SHE thinks Yuna's not up to par with her usual standards.

1.) No one cares about your subjective opinion surrounding Yuna's performance, nor about what you "expect" from her.

2.) Comment on things people care to hear while watching a skater perform her work, not speak because you want to sound like some intelligent all-knowing commentator.

[borilove11]

shut up tara! I wanna c u figure skate! wait no u cant so shut the fuckk up!!!

[snofagun1814]

TARA SOUNDS DUMB COMMENTATING BECAUSE SHE'S SO INSIGNIFICANT TO FIGURE SKATING IN GENERAL. I KNOW SHE WON A CHEATED GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS, BUT NOBODY KNOWS HER NAME OR CARES, HER SKATING WAS AWFUL EVEN IN HER PRIME

[snofagun1814]

TARA SHUT UP! AND ALSO 10 SKATERS WERE BETTER THAN KIM YUNA YET SHE'S IN FIRST PLACE SOMEHOW UH HUH........

[Rebekah210river]

[songaji1]

@Love4Yuna KOREA!! shoes not at yuna shes at korea i mean lol

[gdavidtom]

it would have been "magical skating" if she had gotten that triple triple combo. thy add like ten points so she would have gotten over 70 like always so it WAS magic, geez tara...

[Hylogetic]

@gdavidtom I agree completely! I don't like Tara's commentating

[skippyhippo]

She's so amazing <3

[libbyhale68]

Such natural grace blended seamlessly with athleticism. Another brilliant skater for whom the bar is set incredibly high. The missed Lutz is cruel but her abilities are never in question. Smart of her to nail the flip combination.

[WickedProductions100]

This beautiful program is what I missed about younger Yu-Na Kim. Her skating to The Lark Ascending was absolutely gorgeous, and while she's matured, I feel like she could go further in these kinds of programs. I think softer music integrated into powerful music really suits her.

[gallantrycross]

Yuna has fans from all over the world watching her "Fever" performance.

[organicskating]

Program is just okay...something seems missing...still don't know if that's due to the change in coaching or just the long break between big competitions....? Or both...?

[INA101a]

Oh, please, when in the world did you feel the "magic" that dragged you into Yuna Kim's performance? As far as I remember, you have been busy with nitpicking her performance including the Olympic performance that you "now" praise. Review your own comments, please.

[INA101a]

@strawberrykiwi20a My comment that you tagged on was addressed to Ms. Tara Lipinski, the commentator of the video. In other words, "you" in my comment is not you, Ms. strawberrykiwi20a, but Ms. Lipinski, who is "now" talking about the "magic" of Yuna Kim's gold performance. Please, read my comment closely and slowly because I did not comment on what you wrote.  I do not know what you are and do not care what you think about the performance. I respectfully demand you to remove your own comment.

[strawberrykiwi20a]

*correction*

I meant to say i DONT get how there isn't "magic.

[strawberrykiwi20a]

I honest last year i just couldn't get into Yuna's skating. Really, i got bored watching her performance. (Don't kill me for saying, i'm just being honest!) But her performances here at worlds this year, I really liked them despite the falls. I get how there isn't "magic" in her skating this year. I personally thought her programs looked so interesting and graceful. I was really pulled in this year.

[keiko1957]

She always is the most beautiful skater of all. No one dance like she does. Well, she has to skate next olympic!

[lixinxin]

@keiko1957 She's a fantastic skater but I don't think fans want to see her under the stress of "uphold country's honor" again, and it would be even heavier because she'd have to live up to previous expectations. Well, I guess it's possible but it would be too horrible if her country turned its back on her for having an imperfect Olympics record.

[dhom100]

@lixinxin Yuna is such a perfectionist that I think she would put that pressure on herself to live up to everyone's expectations. and also by default of being arguably the best ever, she represents not only a country but the sport of figure skating when she steps on the ice. so most fans I'm sure are eager to see if she will continue to win or dominate. also she has fans in Europe, North America, etc. not just in Korea.

[getrealandsee]

Yu-Na Kim was recently named the “Greatest Skater of All-Time” by the people who voted at U.S. Figure Skating’s Facebook page. U.S. Figure Skating had set up an “NCAA tournament-style bracket with 64 of the greatest skaters and duos in the history of the sport.” The skaters were seeded according to on-ice accomplishments, historical significance, and public perception.Yu-Na Kim beat out Torvill and Dean in the championship round to be named the “Greatest Skater/Team of All-time.”

[cw6391]

@getrealandsee do you not have anything better to do than troll through various skating videos and trash other skaters?

[getrealandsee]

@cw6391 I wasn't the one who brought that other skater into this! I don't troll about looking for other posters comments but certainly I am entitled to rebut their opinion. How about responding to my 'stalkers' instead...this is about Yuna Kim the Olympic Gold Medalist and Tara Lipinski ANOTHER Olympic Gold Medalist who, depsite the horrible way some speak of her is now commentating and very well...that other skater doesn't fit here.

[MissThingSings]

@getrealandsee Hilarious that someone who has stalked Michelle Kwan for nearly a decade is whining about being confronted lol! You are a gutless bully with a brain the size of a sunflower seed. Bragging about a "greatest skater of all-time list" in an effort to insult Michelle, but too stupid to realize that very list contradicts your primary argument against Michelle's legacy. Where are Tara and Sarah on that list? How does Brian Orser beat two time Olympic gold medalist, Dick Button? Avoiding?

[MissGreenDay7]

@cw6391 no, this is her job.

[MissThingSings]

@getrealandsee Once again you are referring to this "greatest skater of all-time" list, but you have yet answer a simple question: where did Tara and Sarah finish on this list in relation to Michelle Kwan? WHY OH WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER?!?!?!? Also, since you are of the opinion that Olympic gold makes you superior, why did Brian Orser finish ahead of two time Olympic gold medalist Dick Button on that list? The very list you are touting shows you to be a hypocrite..and not very intelligent.

[getrealandsee]

And Tara...YOU set the bar high yourself...always always upping the ante...learning and pushing...good to see you back or even just to hear you.

[veronicafoxx1984]

@getrealandsee Tara is ANNOYING

[getrealandsee]

@veronicafoxx1984 Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I find her to be quite refreshing and knowledgeable and it's very appropriate for her to be commentating on ANOTHER Olympic Gold Medalist. Tara knows whereof she speaks having won sports Highest Award against phenomenal odds. So much for those who have written Tara off..she is still very much around and deserves to be!!!!

[MissThingSings]

@getrealandsee And isn't it refreshing that Yuna Kim is so mature and evolved that she chose a skater who did not win the sports highest honor as her hero? It just goes to show that substance prevails. Michelle Kwan is not just a legend and icon...she a hero =)

[getrealandsee]

Why wasn't her 2009 World's Gold on the list?

[bradyachin]

Tara-- 'Yeah, that's a high score.' Decoded: Umm, that was a hot damn gift.

[anonymuschan]

hmmm i hope she keeps this for next season, that way i can fall in love with it more. on a side note, did anyone else think of Yukari Nakano when they heard the first few seconds of the music? that might have been just me...

[kpopobsessed]

@anonymuschan I'd like to see it again too, but there's only a small chance that she'll compete next season :(

She's got her own tv show to host as well as promotions for Pyeongchang 2018. There's too much stuff she's got on her hands right now, and it's sad to see that this may be the last competition of her career.

[anonymuschan]

@kpopobsessed i'm a little sad to hear that. :( but good for her for branching out into other things!

[KBeOKEH]

Spewing hate on a person you don't know personally....people are low.

[nancymckeon]

Tara should have commented on the cheating judge who gave her a +1 GOE on the mess of a 3Lz+COMBO.

[nancymckeon]

Tara should have commented on the cheating judge who gave her a +1 GOE on the mess of a 3Lz+COMBO.

[88droid]

i actually liked it! i hope she uses this program someday again.

[katrina07532]

What happened to her old coach? Bryan?

[unheard103]

Yuna kim is awesome and I find it hard to believe that people have to logged in accounts to hate lololol

[ymin264]

@killerbees312 I dont think it is Koreans who put her in the first place. Obviously the judges who are much more knowledgeable than you are giving her credits to be the first place. So, please cut your ignorant criticism out. And dont try hard to make the praises from the world look like it just coming from Korea. You are pathetic.

[biancamilano]

That's ridiculous. Those jumps are small & low and she missed her opening combination. This was not the best short program. Yuna Kim was overscored in the short & long programs. Carolina Kostner should have won the silver medal. Yuna is overscored.

[DarrenInCA]

@biancamilano Someone is smoking crack. Small and low are two words I would never use to describe her jumps. Period. And please, Carolina fell on her ASS in the short program. Don't make me laugh. If anyone was overscored, as per usual in the PCS, it would be Caroline Kostner.

If you don't understand the scoring system, don't bitch about it.  She was properly penalized for the mistake. There was one judge who did not mark her lutz properly. I think you two were sharing the same pipe.

[seekjho]

No words to describe your grace and serenity on the ice. Everyone is supporting you and have your back! KIM YUNA #1!

[ApfelJuise]

i hope she keeps these programs for next season :)

[tifffanyT]

tara lipinski the commentator....hum...
