KIM YUNA is phenomenal. shes a real sport, and she really showed it out there. only at the age of 19! she really left a mark on me. Even though im Canadian and was cheering for joannie rochette, i was more enthusiastic about watch kim yuna than our own Canadian.

she has that power of capturing people.

i really love her.

dear mr news reporter, if it shattered the world record, it is the greatest performance in figure skating history.

Poor Rachel- the highest ranked, most consistent American skater, who may have suffered questionable downgrades in Vancouver is merely an afterthought in this piece!

WOW look at all the jealousy.. there so many times japan won (diving) and stuff like that were korea isnt even on the list cuz they no good, do u see them rubbing salt in your wounds? Just stop being all weirdos. U can clearly see she was disappointed in HERSELF, she isnt a sore loser otherwise she wouldnt be hugging Kim Yuna. Stop being all delusional and making things up in your head. I watch the thingy and she was disappointed but she smiled and looked like she accepted it. I'd be the same.

@colesmier I disagree. Firstly: there should have been higher difference between Mao's and Joannie's scores for SP Secondly: Joannie's performances weren't as difficult as Mao's (three 3A!!) Thirdly: Mao made 2 mistakes in FS, but Joannie made 2 mistakes too. If olympic game hadn't been in canada she would have never got so high score. Maybe the bronze, but surely not 71,36 points for SP.

@vickyc99 Because it's mao's fans obligation to defend their idol ^_^
