Thank You Brian Orser for being Yuna's coach. You definitely is huge part of her success and everyone appreciate what you have done for her. I remember young Yuna always talk in short sentences, not laugh loud like here, show her frustration, not smile etc.. Not Orser raised her skill levels but he taught her lot in arts, music and how to love the figure skating and be positive minded.
Yuna Kim has a great talent, Brian Orser made that talent shine even more. I wish Mao Asada had a great coach like Brian so we can all watch great competitions between Yuna and Mao once again.
She is just sooo beautiful and cute!! She is the best female figure skater all time.. Thats undeniable. You will realize right away once you look at her performance. Not just her techniques, but also her face expression, body language&shape.. everything about her.. GO, YUNA!!
You are MAGIC!
Yuna is just magical... A skater like her only comes along once in a lifetime~
She deserve to make all that money.. First Her parents worked but off to make her here, private lesson, rent rink, traveling.. Korea don't have ice rink like Canada or USA, it is just not right sports for Koreans to be professional. But now with all these success, I am sure things will be lot better in Korea and more young kids wants to be figure skaters like Yuna
Yuna Kim = Yuna Queen (souds similar :D)
The Queen Yuna made me a fuge fan of Figuer Skating, haha..
She has a whole pakage! Absolutely stunning!!!
undoubtedly she is a legend.
i don't know why but when i look at her and hear her stories....... i cry! like ... wow... she has come a long way and now she's a top star! i just felt soo happy for her that my tears are just falling one by one!
haha she's so cute at the end when brian orser told her 'go skate!'
Yu-Na is something special
She has the opportunity to make herself and her country shine next week in the ladies competition. She will win gold!
Great ! Yuna
Yuna~ Just have fun at the Olympics!
김연아 최고!
대한의 딸 김연아!
당신은 우리의 자랑입니다..^^
Can't wait to see her @ the Games!
what a lovely person! inside and out!! (:
Still dying to know the details of their falling-out
Mao's a champion of Jumping and falling
im half korean and i live in seoul...seriously, she is everywhere (posters, tv, radio, etc etc)!...
YU-NA, FIGHTING!
i think it is this video haha. she scouted 4 coaches! :D yay she did a good choice
i enjoyed watching those games!!! Kim is cute
And it indeed happened as you thought how Yuna would imagine it. A pair of great coach and skater.
Thats Brian Orser ? WoW !!!!!!!!!
it will be very emotional moments for both Koreans and Canadians.
She is an AMAZING Talent. CONGRATULATIONS!
Commercialization of culture, sport, talent and the arts is edemic in all cultures even more so now. I'm British, I remember when Torvill & Dean won even back then Britain tried to claim some "value", they trained in Germany with a British coach, Britain had NO facilities for them.
I guess it is a fact of modern life. What's remarkable is she seems unaffected by the attention, a very lovely young lady as well as one of the greatest figure skaters.
now that she won...some of ppl in her country should stop pressuring her now..man,she is just a teenager..poor yu na...i wish that she can comeback to her country,meets her family and enjoyed her life as a normal korean teenager.....and hope that the paparazzi in korea will stop bothering her too...and yeah,she is a special skater X )admire hre a lot
awesome, look at her 3Lo, wow :-)
Brian Orser, Yuna kim. what a nice combination at the right time for each other!
Kim Yu-na is Asome she my favorate !!!!!!!!
She did awesome today! Broke the world record held by herself.
I hope she does just as well during the free skate. If she does, she'll undeniably get gold.
she's so cute...
i heard from some video(documentary) said, she has gone thru choosing 4 coaches until she settled with orser as her coach! ((:
after this , with her extreme beauty she will have tons of offers. she can be anything she wants even the next bond girl.
Yuna got the best of two worlds. By Being born a Korean and thus being "repetitious" made her great in the "technical" sense. By training in Toronto she learned from the creative talents of her Canadian coaches.
WOW... Orser beat himself up for a decade 'cause he only had two Olympic Silvers and no Gold... Elite athletes are just wired differently... That level of competitiveness and self-deprecation is unhealthy!
Nothing short of sensational.
this is about perfection that I should learn from her.
I wonder how Brian Orser can coach Yuna well, knowing she is limited in her English. Even translation doesn't carry through everything so it's surprising to me how well they work.
haha sooo cute
Best thing she ever did was accept Orson as her coach.
7million? MARRY ME
It's Orser
@cgkitti "repetition" accounts for 3 of Yuna's huge technical advantages: her consistency in jumps, her speed, and her stamina. Orser has stated that Yuna came to him complete with all her jumps and that he hasn't done much technically with her, and Mao attributed her faults in her FS to her being fatigued halfway through the program. You need an attitude adjustment, open your mind and realize that there's no "bad" or "good" in either system but advantages/disadvantages to each.
long live the queen!
pretty sure he said "not even a bit" lol but it'd be funny if he said that haha
deer-in-headlights look when I ask something open-ended. But on the pro side, the kids do have a great understanding of what I'm teaching and can answer questions pertaining to the material very well.
Anyway, I watched this video as I am a fan of Ms. Kim. Nowhere have I made any negative comment about her, her coach, or even her country for that matter. I was simply concurring with a comment made in the video about Korea, Kim's country. There really was no need to imply that I have a
The narrator sounds a bit creepy, but go Yu-na!
I'm now sure if he realizes this, but Brian Orser, in many ways like Guus Hiddink, will also forever be a legendary name in South Korea.
at 6:02 ... she's really cute ~~ ha ha
I wanna see her skating
Fighting~~ yunna~
bad or inappropriate attitude or that I am narrow-minded.
I know people on CZcams like to attack people and yes, some of it is warranted, but I feel that you just made an assumption about my comment and my character without any real evidence to back it up.
It's quite ironic because at least once every day I am find myself reflecting on the advantages and disadvantages of various aspects my culture and the culture I am currently living.
@@연꽃님
Thanks for yours!
Recommending 'KP BAG'!
for BRUCE LEE's fans...
I think you maybe the first korean that I've seen that doesn't like Yu Na......
omg evil laugh at the beginning scared me O.o (srry yuna)
so cute girl!!!!!
i wanna marry yuna kim....
flatt's not going on the podium. she needs more experience and needs to get more technical. her jumps are fantastic though. in time she can get on the podium.
are all these people Korean by any chance? I am
They aren't kidding where "repetition trumps creativity" in Korea.
オーサー、イケメンだな
Please show me in my one sentence comment where I said that one system was good or bad. I wasn't even commenting on Kim Yu-Na's skating,but on Korea itself.
I live and teach in Korea. A lot of emphasis on the education is about repetition. And I can see the good and bad on this. Yes, they learn and can memorize very well, but when it comes to doing something spontaneously or creatively, many of of the kids choke. Not all of them, of course, but a great deal of them have the
LOL they will delete this video ? that is insane XD ! i got 2 words mang PEARL HARBOR XD
