I did not respond because I thought it was obvious I am on the side that Yuna shouldn't be 'given back' the gold. I said people think Yuna should be given the gold, but what needs to be done is an examination of the system. I'm sorry if this is a case of poor english on my part because I don't know how to make my statement any clearer.

And it doesn't matter what my opinions are because they are mine and mine alone so it shouldn't change yours or anyone else's.   

They are not "yours" when you speak for "people". I told you already- do not speak for us. Speak for yourself. Say "I think". Or at least "Some people think". That is easy. But you keep trolling the board by displaying your arrogance.

Okay.

Also, there is very condescending tone just like the emoticons of the winking back you use for me and back then for let's talk.

I agree such tone is rude and shouldn't be used by any member to anyone.   

I also agree with everything you said regarding pushing the sport by Yuna- none. The reasons you described perfectly and I have nothing to add. Actually I guess the last major push in Ladies took place in 90s, when after Witt won Olympics-88 with two triples, a decade later ladies had to perform all set of triples (except 3A) to podium, including 3-3, even 3-3-3, long before Yuna. The latest major push I consider took place just recently, when Mao finally could make her dream come true and performed LP with 8 triples, including 3A. She basicallly made ladies LP of Men's level-like (at least junior). And now somebody's already talking about quad. Why not. Afterall ladies wear the same boots and they are usually lighter. Not that I am much for a quad in ladies. But when Mao started landing 3A years back, it was really something new. In short- I think it's the second major push in modern ladies fs, and in both Yuna has nothing to do with that.
You go, girls!

No, don't worry. Thank you for uploading! I love hearing praises for Mao by these commentators over and over again.

I try to listen but I only anderstand or hear Machida? I think. Maybe Japanese members can tell what was funny. I did not watch whole video but beginning of video where they show Akiko's age, I was very suprised because I only think maybe she is younger than Carolina around 25-26 years old. I think Asian girls look much younger than their age I want to know secret.

Mao SP WC 2014 on CBC

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1l5341_mao-asada-sp-w-2014_sport

I will upload the FS soon

Sorry for the bad quality :p

   for the videos Otchoto. I just noticed after watching this clip, how the CBC commentators mentioned during the 2007 worlds, Yuna broke the SP record and Mao broke the LP record (how come everyone made a big deal of Yuna's record, but swept Mao's under the table), yet Miki beat them both. And then all three proceeded to win the next 5 worlds (with the exception of Caro in 2012) between them to have 2 wins each...and Mao just broke that tie with her 3rd win. Impressive, isn't it.

There isn't, but perhaps we can ask the admins to implement a Friends & Foes management. With that, the post of the person under 'Foe' will not be visible (Unless quoted, but that can't be helped.).

For the meantime, we can only rely on mental ignore buttons.

Also, closing the thread since Worlds has already concluded. All other Mao news should go the Mao chat. Thanks everyone, it's been a blast!
