Excuse me, what are you laughing at? So strange..
I don't see you are Mao fan, why are you here? This is Mao FAN FORUM.
I've never visited Yuna forum, because I'm not her fan. I think I'm so normal.
I don't want to argue with you, but I can't understand why you come here expressly to talk only about Yuna.

This is a mystery, mingming.

Although polly10 may not be a genuine Mao fan she still has an opinion and she is for the most part respectful (as of recently) i think we can turn the troll radar down a little for her

Someone's out of lurkdom...
I have to respectfully disagree:
correction...an opinion only in this part of the forum...and I think she/he still owes many ppl an apology for his/her behaviour before we turn down the radar.
And what YK is doing is bothering me...but w/e, her choice.

Sensible enough, you're reasonings make complete sense, not gonna argue with that
Shame though I was of the mind that we may have finally changed polly10 over to the Mao side of life, but i guess that i became oh too hopeful...

What Yuna is doing doesn't bother me a bit, her decisions are hers alone, the whole tango thing if its true is a fiasco and it annoys me a little, but Mao herself should be fine

ok. if i did hurt anyone's feelings around here i apologize. ok again i'm a yuna fan but i also like mao. i think she's a fabulous skater and a champion on her own own right.

if some are pissed because im not posting on mao related threads then again i apologize. at the start of the new season i will post, after seeing her new programs, etc.

regarding the tango thing, just for a clarification.. i think even yuna fans are confused. what she said was on her interview, she wanted to skate in "spanish style of music", and said like tango.. she might be skating to flamenco like what jeremy and brian joubert because wilson choreographed them.. who knows what will be it like, maybe the theme will be romantic or maybe up tempo or mabye we can hear an acoustic guitar in the background, who knows in the next few months!

regarding the fb poll, i didn't even participate! i find it laughable to be honest. after all it's a popularity contest. and the whole "greatest skater ever" is always subjective to anyone.

with the comment yuna is a fabricated hero..well, yuna might not be a hero in the world(because she's really not, she is just a teenager) but she is a hero to those young skaters in korea who dreamed one day to be like her, in a nation that no history of figure skating..

peace everyone!

I know, I know, that Latin style is hot and fascinating for skaters
like Daisuke and Yuna. They suit for that. As Yuna once did James
Bond and it work while her light music program seems blur and
not attractive enough, she will stop herself in her style. (But I think
music like All That Jazz will be suitable for Yuna rather than Mao.)

Mao's program this year, except Schnitke's Tango, are Mao style
that suit her too. (Tango is a challenge and as she did great in EX
so we hope this will broaden her style.) I really wanted to see
another style by Mao but since I know Mao is talented in sport
rather than perform as the best entertainer so I give up to look her
as Barbie and try astronaut suit, Indian sari, jungle safari, and so on.

Back to Yuna topic, I think their rivalry made me notice Yuna's
program as well. I remembered Dans Macabre, Scheherazade and
like her programs rather than Kwan's Scheherazade. Poor Orser, I
still don't like him.

TBH, I have no problem with Yuna doing tango. She did Tango de Roxanne for her short before, if I'm not mistaken. It's not unusual to have lots of tango music in competitions so I don't mind. But Yuna and Mao are at the top so people are making a big deal about it. And it's not like we're totally sure that it's tango already. There's also the option of flamenco. Or salsa. Or even chacha!

(Also, something fast-paced, upbeat and showy suits Yuna's style more, compared to Mao's soft, ethereal and graceful skating~!)

To polly10, I can see the you are a reasonable person and I respect your opinions. Hopefully you would keep your word and start posting more about Mao after the start of the season. We don't mind a Yuna fan who can positively contribute to the forums... I mean, look at me!

Please chill out, people!There's nothing wrong about liking 2 (or more) skaters. And the fans are welcome to post about them, especially since we are in the "Other Skaters" subforum.

One of the reasons I like this forum is that it was always objective and friendly towards other skaters, so please don't change that!

I think you've not read his/her former posts...but it's ok.
What irritated me was his/her comment which I quoted in my previous post.
It's not problem at all to like some skaters! I do have many favorite skaters other than Mao. And there are some members who love particular skaters like MikiAndoFan, Yunamao, polosatik...but they are loved here and of course I LOVE THEM! You will see the reason when you read their posts.
I just couldn't understand why he/she comes here Mao Fan Forum to talk only about other skater...and I didn't see he/she is a Mao fan from his/her posts.
But polly10 says he/she likes Mao, so I will see...

I didn't mean to make this forum hostile. Sorry guys!

No need to apologize mingming! Your posts just showed your opinion about a *certain matter, which I (along with many others) shared...
No one wants to make this forum hostile, we just express our opinions, about Mao, mostly.

Thanks for your apology polly10, and clarification. I hope to see your posts often.

Hey folks, I think there is no point in arguing with polly10. She's been here for some time and we all know she is here for Yuna and to poke us with her sarcasm.
Let's just try to tolerate, bc this way we can show people that we don't need to hate on any Yuna fans.

Kim Yuna's new EX, Bulletproof by La Roux

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c-wc6Dji1Y

She suits this type of music. I like it and I'm quite impressed with her, although more conservative FS fans might find her moves a bit too 'gimmicky.'

I have to say I love her bulletproof program and costume. And I agree with klarification that she suits this type of music.

I saw it, and I actually thought it was pretty good. I think the song, and the cut worked really good, and the choreography was really entertaining. Does anyone else think she is skating with more confidence, and expression than ever here?

As an already established Yuna fan i found this to be true! I definitely see a level of confidence and expression in Yuna that has not before been seen!
It seems less like execution and more like enjoyment now, it makes me happy to see her skate like this!

Yeah i found out about 10 minutes later just by reading around
Now i feel like an idiot for asking...

Sorry if it's not actual, but did you know that Kim won't compete in the Grand Prix series?

She said like that. She wants to make new program during Grand Prix and challenge
in World. But we should not trust any even Kim because she changed her tongue all
the way. Before she finished Vancouver, she said as if she will retire and rest but after
that she said she didn't say that she will retire just said she wanted to rest. For me
Kim's speech is ずるかしこい. I don't know how to say in English. Maybe it's clever in a
bad meaning. Her speech can interpret 2 ways and she tries not to say something clear
so she can change her word when she sees it will harm her and it will be our fault or
media's faults that interpret her in the opposite way. This is the same as when she
claimed that some Japanese skater(s) had bothered her.

I'm not surprised, really. She needs to rework her jump layout. Doing 2A 3 times in the LP is no longer allowed, so she needs to add 3L to her programs if she wants to keep a high base value.

Without 3L, I think the highest she can get is 44.35:
3Lz-3T
3S
3F
--
2A-2L-2T
3Lz
3F-2T
2A

And it would be somewhat risky jump layout for her, because her 3F isn't that consistent. (For comparison sake, Mao's current jump layout, with no new jumps added, would be worth 47.06. Mirai could get 48.32 if she did both 3Lz-3T and 2A-3T.).

YuNa will most likely work on 3L, observe how the other skaters do during the GP and adjust her strategy accordingly.

exactly and that's actually a very clever way to do it, because that way she can see how the other skaters are doing under the new rules and thereby see what the best thing to do is with her jump layout not to mention that she then also has a lot more time to train and focus on correcting her jumps without any disturbences!

and in regards to the jump layout's it all depends on who will be able to deliever at that time.. but if mao wil be able to correct her 3-3 and lutz she will clearly have a great advantage technically, but let's not forget the artistically scores could change alot since half of the overall score still depends on it...

Yuna and Orser part ways.

Yuna and Orser part ways.

Yeah! I just read about it, too. Such a shocker!

Wow, this is brand new news today. I'm only able to find one article about it! The article does say that this happened all the way back on Aug. 2nd though...
http://figureskatersonline.com/news/2010/08/23/brian-orser-no-longer-coaching-yu-na-kim/

If this is true, then it's pretty shocking. Unless Yuna is leaning seriously towards retiring. That's not even a very good reason though... Brian and Yuna had so much success together, I really can't imagine why she would part ways with him! Why fix something that isn't broken?! The public must be REALLY out of the loop on what's going on on this one!

according to the news..yuna and brian's relationship turned sour when the whole rumor about mao's agency approaching orser last march.. and she begun training even without orser in june..yuna's agency ats decided to ask a temporary "leave" with orser early august, and then they decided both parties to split... yuna wished orser via statement from ats and wish him the best with his current athletes that he's coaching now..wow...

i hate Mao´s name going arownd in this theme.

and is surprising that yu na and orser won´t work togheter anymore, if something works, why finish it? .
if the relationship wasn´t god enough is their problem, but don´t bring Mao´s name here.
