Living legend. She changed the history of women’s figure skating.
How ? :)
Why? Not asking in a sarcastic way, I just don't know why😅
If I may, how did she change it?
Darinka Cano She set 11 world records, had the longest lasting world record for the old system, never placed off podium in ALL her major international competitions, and was the first woman to complete a Career Super Golden Grand slam (second Zagitova) in ladies singles. Besides those history markers, she set the technical bar for the quality (GOE) in ladies skating (especially her jumps).
Her rivalry with Mao not only pushed her, it also pushed Mao and Mao’s technicality with Mao being the lady to land the most 3As in competition (idk if that still stands). Both of the ladies became idols and inspiration for the current generation of young boundary breaking skaters. Yuna is also the pioneer of South Korea’s school of figure skating. Figure skating wasn’t a thing in South Korea before her and now there’s a big wave of young and talented South Korean skaters.
So whether it’s her record breaking to boundary pushing, inspiring a lot of the current generation of figure skaters, or even introducing an entire country to the sport, all of these things have left a mark on women’s figure skating.
M... New elements brought by her or what? She's a great skater, but i think people overthink about her personality. In the past we had more great skaters. But she's great, it's un-doubtful
For people how and why Yuna had changed the history of the ladies' figure skating, here are some explanations.
1. she raised the bar of technical aspects of jumps, especially 3-3 combinations. Because of her, a lot of nowadays skaters should be able to do at least 3-3 combo (at least 3 flip-3 toe combo) in order to be able (successfully) to compete at the international level.
2. yes, before Yuna there were a handful of skaters who did 3-3 combo in a program, but the quality of those combos and consistency are incomparable to Yuna's 3-3 combo ( correct edge, speed, distance, rotations, minimum pre-rotation, air positions, etc)
3. hence, overall scores have been raised due to more difficult combo jumps now being introduced and attempted by many skaters (and as a result, things are more competitive now)
4. she is not just a great skater with super grand slams and medals with world records, she really made a solid mark in the history of ladies' figure skating than any other female skaters in history.
5. in 2021, there are still rarely any top female skaters who have textbook quality jumping techniques as Yuna had. Even with some 3 axels and quad jumps nowadays, if you study figure skating jumps in detail, you will realise how fundamental techniques are ruined for a sake of higher scores and base values. And ISU will not do anything but try to make a star skater for financial profits.
6. musicality - no need to argue or explain at all. As legend choreographer David Wilson said, it is impossible for her not to be on music when skating. He also mentioned it is something you have to be born with.
감사합니다!
감사합니다^♡^
AND SHE HAS BEEN BORN WITH THIS TRUE TALENT...A GIFT FOR THE WORLD 🎁🌏🌅🌞😍
The greatest ladies singles skater of all time. Nobody since has had her combination of artistry, athleticism and proper jumping technique without prerotations and false edges. Every time I watch her performances I discover some new arm movement I had missed or some other small detail that distinguished her from her competitors.
The greatest sporting performer of all time. How can one improve on perfection?
Moi aussi. Just mesmerizing.
Niamh _ Yuna is unmatched, she is simply the best!
You just like her ) We have a lot of great skaters, really ) Even better than her. But it depends how to judge
Viki S In my opinion you don't have better performers than her but you certainly do have imagination
skaters like this come only once an era. she had the full package. there is no one ever better for me so far
I was born and raised in Vancouver. I remember watching this live. I can't help but admire the gracefulness and finesse that Yuna Kim has, as she is easily on of the greatest figure skaters to ever take the ice. It is crazy to believe that it has already been 10 years since these games. I was 9 years old at the time and I remember a lot of it like it was yesterday. Just watching this brought tears to my eyes, as it was an honour to have some of the greatest athletes in the world come to my city 10 years ago. Looking forward to watch the city bid for the games and hopefully host the olympics here in Vancouver again in 2030!
Oh dear, don't hold your breath on hosting again. The Olympics has become an increasingly expensive and politically non-viable proposition for most cities in the world. Many purpose built venues fall into disuse and disrepair for budgetary purposes and become eye sores or white elephants after a Game; is that the case with Vancouver? If not then perhaps there's still a fair chance for the Olympics to return there since cost of hosting may only be a fraction of the usual.
I grew up in Vancouver too and I can safely say that the 2010 Olympics were a highlight of my childhood but there was something about Yuna that I never forgot. To me she was a living example of grace on the ice and I remember coming across her free skate on CZcams and thinking “I know her”! So happy that I can look back at these clips.
A true queen, a DOUBLE olympic champion. Absolute epitome of beauty, elegance, grace, and perfection. The one and only: Kim Yuna.
True! ❤️❤️❤️
A DOUBLE Olympic Champion Yuna Kim is not. Plus, there are others way more beautiful, elegance and graceful. Kim is not perfect, not with those fugly spin positions and spirals.
elegant*
Piznoc Tsauo yikes stop wasting your energy to type in lies no one will believe 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@@piznoctsauo8141 Nop
The number of times Ive seen this choreography is insane...
TWO time olympic champion. The queen.
agree
Indeed!
I come here when Im tired of the world... I feel pace and warmth when I am here, thank you Queen legend Yuna.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
제일 좋아하는 갈라.. 스탭과 스케이팅만으로 음악을 이렇게 표현할 수있다는 걸 보여주는 연아 선수. 처음 시작할 때 클로즈업 되는 컷도 진짜 너무 우아함!! 이 노래 들을 때마다 이 갈라쇼가 생각 남!
Literally "UNBELIEVABLE". Every movement, step, hand motion, face expression, everything is more than perfect.
She is just like a swan on the river.
Thank you for the elegant performance, Yuna Queen!
아! 몇번이고 다시보아도 정말이지
눈물나게 아름답습니다!
She is an angel from heaven. I haven't seen such a beautiful skating.
Alexander Zhulin said "Looking at the performance, Kim Yu-na, I want to quit coaching, Such a talent is born once in a thousand years." Why did he say that?
Even ordinary people who are not experts in figure skating often say that Yu-na Kim's skating is so natural and different from other skaters. All of Kim's movements are so natural that even professional experts praised her performance for making four minutes feel like seconds.
The athletes that the public sees on the air are all world-class athletes, as they are capable of competing in international-level competitions. And in most cases, the difference in skill between players at international level is not great. Rather, they are small enough to lead or trail each other. This is also why the competition in international level is fierce and rivals exist. For example, in Track and field 100m event, the speed between players differs within 0.01 second, so it is indistinguishable with the human eye. Therefore it is necessary to borrow the power of science and technology such as a high-speed camera to cover the ranking. Likewise, it is not easy for non-professional spectators to differentiate between the skills of world-class figure skaters.
So why does Yuna Kim's skating look different and natural than other skaters? Why does Yuna Kim's performance look so natural that even people who don't know much about figure skating can tell her performance from other player's? The fact that Yuna Kim's performance looks different from that of other world-class players even in the eyes of the general public is proof that there is an overwhelming difference between Yuna Kim and other players.
Because of her unparalleled genius, all the movements and techniques from head to toe when skating perfectly flow through the music, from note to note. It is also because it goes beyond this and penetrates the fundamental premise of beauty and art, balance and harmony. Among previous legends who were recognized for their artistry, there was no example of having music at her or his disposal, from the stormy fervor of a Danse macabre to the grace of a Gershwin floating like a feather on the ice. So facial expression acting is only a help, and skating itself is an art. By doing so, she elevated figure skating beyond an artistic sport to an art itself.
In addition, Yuna Kim's jump is a flying jump that cannot be seen by even male athletes as well as women. And Yuna Kim's step technique, which has been neglected by the judges, is extremely difficult in itself, but considering Yuna Kim's unrivaled speed, it is a ridiculous skill That's it.
She is so precious existence in the sport and she is still known as the real Queen on the ice... She is just a heaven's gift and also a ultimate hardworking bona fied true figure skater... There are many many of figure fans who miss her so bad... Long Live the Queen Yuna!!!
연아의 표현력은 정말 말로 표현하기에 한계가 있다ㅠㅠ 이 갈라에서 보여줬던 이나바우어 그리고 카멜스핀과 음악의 조화가 너무 아름다워… 아무도 없는 새벽에 달빛 내리는 강 위에 까만 무늬가 있는 백조가 혼자 날개짓하며 유영하는 느낌…ㅠㅠ 너무 예브다
완급조절이 너무 신기해.. 어떻게 저렇게 느리고 부드럽게 타다가 빠르고 강하게 느낌을 낼 수도 있는지....이나바우어 너무 아름답고..
My favorite her gala program!There will never be a better Olympic Gala program than this one.
She should be a winner in the 2014 Olympic. But, we know she was a champion.
Do you think that Triple salchow+DoubleToe is OK for gold champion?
@@vikis9304 definitely better than triples that are prerotated and underrotated... so go and be jealous because Yuna would be forever remembered as the total package...
No one can touch Yuna, her grace , posture, spins and maturity is unmatched as of yet. I miss Yuna on stage so much!!!
Yes especially spins. I love her spins so much
HERE SHE IS. YU! NA! KIM!
her flow is insane
She is elegant, graceful and artistic….BEAUTIFUL !!!
연느의 올포디움이라는 기록은 들을 때마다 신기해요… 아무리 대단한 선수라도 부상이나 컨디션, 실수로 경기 하나라도 3위에서 떨어질 수 있읉텐데 온갖 부상과 힘든 일들을 이겨내고 커리어 내내 3위에서 벗어나본 적이 없다는 건 진짜.. 대단해요 연느
Poetry in motion. The beauty of the whole performance and Yuna are staggering.
Trivia. She had a serious injury in the years before Vancouver. The doctor who
was responsible for healing her was a Catholic so she became a Catholic.
She’s an artist on ice. Everything about her is so perfect.
One of the best gala performance I have ever seen😭👏
In my opinion David Wilson is the best choreographer in figure skating. He is a Maestro for me! I've watched Yuna's programs choreographed by him a thousand of times and never get bored! The best!
Me too
She’s simply amazing. Missing her so much.
QUEEN YUNA 😭😭😭 Everyone knows she was robbed of gold at Sochi, and this in turn robbed us fans of a once-in-a-lifetime scene of the King and Queen of figure skating, Yuzuru and Yuna, dancing together during the gala.
Evidently, she still reigns in our hearts although she has long retired, as the greatest female figure skater of all time.
Her poise, charisma, elegance, artistry, textbook jumping technique, enigma, flexibility of choregraphy and music were all a blessing to figure skating but taken for granted by ISU. If we go into detail about her personality, this will just give us more reason to love her. This gala, like all her other performances, clean or not, were all stunning, mesmerizing, ethereal.
Thank you Queen, for gracing the figure skating world with your magic. We love you forever. The Queen reigns on.
I don't think the ISU or IOC would know what to do with the combined legion of fans awaiting a performance with both Yuna and Yuzuru. And yes, Sochi was a travesty. I think if there were enough voices, Olympic Channel will upload the official 2014 gold medallist's EX! XDXDXD
@@Essylte hahaha i think there were too many voices but they intentionally hid the recordings of their fav Gold medal's gala performance in a safe that was buried 10 feets off from ground. That's that much embarrassment they felt from watching the "golden quality" performance. 🤪🤪🤪
@@pl9503 LOL, I can't wait for Olympic Channel to upload their darling 2014 Olympic ladies champion's performances in 2024 for her 10 year anniversary
3:16 Literal chills! She’s so beautiful and this performance is magical
You hit the nail on the head. The poses and expressions Yuna made really have my eyes filled with tears cause it was so so beautiful.
역사상 또 다시 없을 가장 뛰어난 피겨 선수 연아 💖
I've never seen anyone glide so beautifully and so gracefully across the ice like she does. She's one in a million
I think one reason why Yuna's performances are so captivating is that she understands the music from an artist's point of view and uses that insight for her subtle movements, pauses, and facial expressions. That's why she is so emotional and one with the music. Not to mention, the technique, which is the medium of her expression, is absolutely flawless.
yeah🙄
The point of view is David Wilson’s, the choreographer
The last Olympics where Ladies Figure Skating was still a legitimate sports. Sochi 2014 was the beginning of the end unfortunately.
She made regular backward crossovers look like art
*the greatest female figure skater of all time*
너무 아름답다... 슬프고 힘든 마음이 눈 녹듯이 사라지는 거 같아요
Still, the best female figure skater. Legend 💖
Why no one mentions David Wilson? He is the mastermind behind most of Yuna’s programs. Just look at all the moves and how the music is edited. Even the little gestures and movements and how they are conveyed. I think it’s all his vision and coaching. His artistry. Yuna executes it perfectly of course. But I really see David Wilson when I watch Yuna skate.
He's the best for me! I adore him! 💜
I was actually going to say something about David Wilson! How come all the technical stuff is into artistry.. Not a dull moment.
When you watch Yuna, you can see the textbook quality of jumps and ease..yes she's not doing quads but she's a master in what she did. Her beauty and interpretation of the music and every details are still incomparable.
Her programs are absolutely phenomenal. I still watch them today and get goosebumps. I love Yuna so much! My greatest wish is to see her back on the competitive ice but as a coach 😊❤
i feel like she would be a great coach- she would focus on the emotions and feel of the skating, not just the technical side.👌👌😊

That Ina Bauer at 3:13 was PERFECT.
연아 언니 저 잠이 너무 안 오고 우울해서 이거 보러 왔어요
덕분에 힘을 얻어 가요
At 2021 I still watch this spectacular performance 😍
Her Ina Bauer's are spectacular! She is so graceful. She shows us how much she loves her sport. Phenomenal..
“How do you make a Kim Yuna? You can’t. It’s truly a gift.”
The level of gracefulness and beauty she delivered through this is a MASTERPIECE. She's amazing.
The way how the crowd goes wild, and the announcer just goes, "Here she is"
ALSO she always have thE best costume, beautiful
she’s like doing ballet but it’s on ice
3:14
깊은 이너바우어
너무 아름답습니다
beautiful!!!
요즘 제아무리 날고 기는 여싱 선수들이 고난이도 기술을 선보인다지만.. 퀸연아의 정석점프, 완벽한 클린연기, 우주최강 멘탈은 여전히 그누구도 따를 자가 없는 듯 하다 . 올포디움, 그랜드슬램, 올림픽 2관왕... 동시대를 넘어선 피겨 역사계의 최강자👍
힐링되는 무대였음
정말 마음의 위로를 받는 연아님의 무대
진정 챔피언의 갈라답네요
또 감동 받고 갑니다. 뭔가 치유받는 기분이에요
오랫동안 기억에 남는 선수가 되고 싶다하던데..우리 연아 선수 항상 꽃길만 가세요♡
Returning to Yuna clips because her artistry and elegance is simply unmatched. I miss you Queen Yuna!
Simply breathtaking. Her moves are so delicate and beautiful yet her jumps are powerful...
Yuna's exquisite. She's like a swan on the ice.
모든 파트가 예술이지만 3분 40초부터 엔딩까지는 그냥 레알 천사임.
3분16초 이나바우어부터는 말로 표현하기 힘든 예술의 경지...
that in a bauer at 03:15 will truly go down in history
In one word," Graceful "
She is so graceful.
"Ethereal" is the word that comes to mind when I watch her skate ♡
The first lutz in the program was actually programmed as single jump, it was to show her figure skating development history. (:
Single lutz -> Double axel -> Triple salcow
Really?? I have never heard of it
Elegance has a name. It's Yuna Kim.
2x Olympic Champion (2010, 2014)
3x World champion (2009, 2011, 2013)
The One and Only: Queen Yu-Na
Yuna's performance is always extraordinary no one comes close.❤
she is so gorgeous. I love her mood💕
Thats beautiful. Shes so expressive and graceful I can get what shes trying to convey through her performance.
Long live the two time Olympic champion 👑

선이 곱다란 표현은 연아를 위해 생겨난 단어인 듯. .
My Queen❤❤❤
연아의곡선택과 안무밸런스는 늘 완벽했지만, 이 바이올린의 서정적이고 구슬픈음악적선율을 연아의 스타일로 정말완벽하게 보여준것같아요, 음악의감정에이끌리듯 그감성과 깊이의 완급조절을 너무나도아름답게끌어냈지요..컴피에서썻음어땠을까할정도로 너무아름다운작품..의상도 보면볼수록 너무아름답구요..넘나그립습니다🤍
нежность,изящество, блеск!
예쁘다.
아름답다
사랑스럽다.
날개달린 천사 김연아 짱
Robbed but still our double Champion. Her skating moves me to tears every time, without fail.
Long live the Queen, Yuna
언제 봐도 좋다..
Many great skaters before and after Yuna, but no one mesmerizing like her...
Her skating is like watching ballet.
Two time Olympic champion!! 🥇🥇
I missed seeing skating like this.
She not skate with the music because "She's the music"
Yuna kim 👑
연아꺼 볼때마다 거의 매번 울면서 보는중 😢🤧

아무리 시간이 흘러도 그 때의 벅찬 감동을 잊을수 없다
슬프도록 감동적이고 너무 우아해서
I think she's flying! It's really amazing...
Just see her skating in the beginning gave me chill in my right arm..
You know everyone says she was robbed at an event but she is getting her rewards now if you have real talent no one can rob you of that no imperfect judge can take your perfect talents away from you. Remember that no one.
