And with a 3T+3T combo! Even if we exclude the PCs where both Yuna and Carolina had the clear upper hand they both should have ran away based on the technical score as well. The fact that Sotnikova was not only close but WON the TES here is insane.
@@rvsone1629 complete crime. yuna had the highest TES in SP (excluding the GOE which she nailed) but then Sotnikova won TES was clear that the Judge cheated. Then there's PCS - were clearly YUNA and CArolina was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead to Sotnikova. the audacity of the judges for that 0.24 gap.
Obviously her skating skills were magnificent, but her jumping technique was very solid as well. She may not have always been known for her technical feats in figure skating, but her correct jumping technique is what allowed her to be competitive into her 30’s.
I rather watch her glide on her with her 1.70m height, power and grace in full glory than some emotionally abused 15 yo waif who’s Russian name you won’t even remember next year due to doping issues
@@JeffB2015 Absolutely. Back in 2003, her first year in senior, she put 3Lz+3T, 3F+3T and 2A+1Lo+3S IN ONE LONG PROGRAM and was almost clean. She sure is a true jumping talent. She has one of the best skating skills and jumping technique in the history of all single skaters. She would have been an untouchable legend if she was more consistent and mentally stronger. What a pity.
Carolina was always elegant, brilliant and graceful. When she found the strength and the courage to compete at olys, she was absolutely amazing, she was top, the biggest diva on the ice. She's a heroine in too many ways. Glad to see this program again.
@@selina6377 I think Yuna and Caro are sooo great and memorable, rapresentations of the true essence of this sport (with Mao), but in my opinion, Yuna deserved gold. But, you know, I'm extremely proud and honored to have in my country an athlet like Carolina Kostner. I wouldn't change her with anyone. No matter what, this type of skating is my favourite.
This is what figure skating is all about: artistry, grace, speed and, above all, PERSEVERANCE. What an inspiring journey has her career been! Caro was Golden in Sochi. Unmatchable program!!!
the real fight for gold shouldve been Yuna vs Carolina. Both were flawless and magnificient. If only Mao had skated clean during the short program, it would have been the most legendary competition in ladies figure skating.
@@bulalayaocarljasper8597 Totally agree . But dont forget the FS of Mao , she was flawless in that program , also Yuna was incredible , But Carolina was AMAIZING
I know that Yuna's silver was the robbery of the century, but can we talk about the overshadowed domino effect in Kostner's bronze??? Sotnikova shouldn't had been on the podium period.
Personally I think Carolina Kostner deserved the gold, Yuna was wonderful but Carolina is the one that makes me forget I’m watching a competition or that a jump is going to happen… she just skates.
@@domramaria причём тут Мао, Каролина и Юна? Какое отношение эти три фигуристки имеют к Ире Слуцкой, к её серебру (я тоже считаю что Ирина должна была стать Олимпийской чемпионкой). И Олимпиада в Солт-Лейк Сити была не в 2001 а в 2002
No. Yuna did underotate her second lutz but, like Adelina, judges didn’t penalize for that. Therefore, Caro was a true champion and deserved the gold, not the silver.
Such an exquisite and unparalleled talent. Satoko is a skater in a very similar vein and incomparable in her own right, but Carolina was also blessed with this stockier, taller physique, which makes a lot of her movements stand out even more. Truly second to none and there’s no one out there quite like her, past or present.
Her skates never fails to be so beautiful that it drives me to tears! This music being this beautiful doesn't help too! I love this short program the most when I watched the event tbh 😍
She skated this beautifully! It was so elegant and angelic. What also was nice was being able to watch this without the commentators talking all the way through the program! This takes away from you being able to enjoy it! She is so gorgeous and graceful.
I stopped watching figure skating since Sochi. So sad that the true champions never got the place they deserve. Much love for Yuna and Caro , also to Mao.
Adelina tuvo una presentación mejor porque tuvo más dificultades. Acá, Carolina, no tuvo tantas dificultades, si bien, fue una presentación prolija y delicada, no hizo tantas vueltas complicadas. Igual tanto Adelina como Carolina, son excelentes patinadoras.
I miss Caro’s graceful elegance. I miss Yuna’s textbook jumps. I miss Mao’s mind-blowing step sequences. But kids nowadays are just jumping beans, throwing a bunch of quads with zero PCS (and not the best jumping technique, i must confess.)
Yes. It’s sad. And they are so overtrained with bad technique that they sadly don’t get a career that lasts for more than one Olympics. They lose their childhood, don’t get to have a long career and have injuries that they’ll cary for a long time.
But just stop it, except Yuna who had really great technique, absolutely all skaters Asada, Kostner, Sakamoto, etc, have a bad technique too... Watch their programs and their jumps in 0,25 speed, you will see that there is so much pre-rotation (180) on almost all jumps, bad edges (especially Asada), and often under-rotated. I think that you have so much nostalgia but particularly a hatred against Russians. Leave your hearts aside. When you look the program of Sotnikova, yes it's much worse than Yuna's program and she didn't deserve to win, but realy I think that she jumps better than Asada. Look at the Lutz of Sotnikova and the Lutz of Asada, there are se same, a bad edge. Lovely
I specifically remember having a 2 second panic attack as I realised she was going into a triple flip and not a triple toe for the combo, knowing full well she had not even attempted that jump in a short program since like 2010. Knew the program would be good once she landed that
Every once in a while I come back to these videos from this competition and have many mixed feelings. Although Yuna didn’t win the gold, in our hearts she did. Carolina skated the first clean programs back to back in her skating career. She didn’t take the silver, but like Yuna, we know she should have. As for the gold medalist, I don’t have much to say other than she did her best, but we know what the outcome really should have been. At least we were given the gift of being inspired by such incredible athletes.
Everyone said that Yuna got a hit in her mark because she performed in the earlier group. But how did Adelina score more than this masterpiece? Kostner performed more difficult jumps, her performance had more finesse, &class, breathtaking skating skill, interpretation, nuance, etc. In my mind Adelina only won in her spins (Yulia was better in this regard), everything else was juniorish but the PCS mark she got was the thing that baffled me the most.
It is really nice to revisit master performances of the past, let's see more beautiful performances of the present. Can you upload any (and all, lol) performances from Dabin Choi (2018 South Korea)

Don't forget Mao.

Totally agree!

Adelina scoring more than this masterpiece with the most tasteless Carmen that I have ever seen is a crime.
And the fact that Adelina was only 0.24 points behind Yuna's Send in the Clowns is ridiculous!
And with a 3T+3T combo! Even if we exclude the PCs where both Yuna and Carolina had the clear upper hand they both should have ran away based on the technical score as well. The fact that Sotnikova was not only close but WON the TES here is insane.
A complete , crime. Cheating of the worst kind
@@rvsone1629 Agreed. The judges and technical panel made sure to pump up Sotnikova's scores just so she'd be ready for the gold medal in the Free.
@@rvsone1629 complete crime. yuna had the highest TES in SP (excluding the GOE which she nailed) but then Sotnikova won TES was clear that the Judge cheated. Then there's PCS - were clearly YUNA and CArolina was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead to Sotnikova. the audacity of the judges for that 0.24 gap.

Amazing.
So what is it now? (No hate tho)

True silver medalist in Sochi.
And a real Queen.
Grazie di esistere, Caro 🤍💙
@@selina6377 I think Yuna and Caro are sooo great and memorable, rapresentations of the true essence of this sport (with Mao), but in my opinion, Yuna deserved gold.

Selina the only reason why I wouldn’t give it gold is because her technical difficulty isn’t as high as Yuna Kim.
Selina they’re both queens.
本当の金メダリストはコストなです
True silver medalist
she looks so happy to be there and is a true joy to watch
It's about time that they uploaded Kostner's beautiful Short program. She is an absolute angel here! She fully deserves the Olympic silver medal.

I know that Yuna's silver was the robbery of the century, but can we talk about the overshadowed domino effect in Kostner's bronze??? Sotnikova shouldn't had been on the podium period.
Yesss, bronze for Gracie!
Polina Edmunds was underscored too in my opinion. She reminds me of Carolina.

I love this beautiful and divine program!!!
There is non skater like her...she is a gem and that uniqueness will always belong to her.
After two disappointing Olympics, it was wonderful that see her skate free in Sochi and win a medal.
I don't care what anyone says. Carolina was robbed every bit as much as Yuna was. She was the true silver medalist!
Absolutely
Agree
Nobody cares what you say either and there was no robbery
Yep this Olympics was just fraught with treachery 🤦♀️
No. Yuna did underotate her second lutz but, like Adelina, judges didn’t penalize for that.

While Sakoto has great artistry, her jumping technique is subpar to Kostner's, so much full blade assistance and pre-rotation
Her skates never fails to be so beautiful that it drives me to tears! This music being this beautiful doesn't help too! I love this short program the most when I watched the event tbh 😍
Her smile is so beautiful
