Юлечка молодец! Уже тогда была большая умница, уже тогда было ясно, что много будет у неё побед, много замечательных прокатов. Спасибо, дорогая, мы тебя любим и всегда будем на твоей стороне!!) P.S. Жаль, что финского не знаю - так хотелось бы понять, что говорят комментаторы... :-)
I disagree. Her spins are NOT a hot mess. She has great technical components and awesome spirals. And her presentation is just outstanding. With more height she puts into her jumps she will be completely untouchable. Ultimately so, it is a huge step forward for Julia and like Sasha, she will learn quite fast.
Nicholai Morozov chose the music for Julia last season, plus both pieces are Russian. So there is no surprise about Julia not knowing who Sasha C. was.
Ok, this this is def. Yuna Kim 2.0. Incredible Performance! If she can keep this level she will be the next superstar I hope she can resist the pressure and keep the fun...she´s just outstanding!!! And my god...the spins..? I would like to see the scores for that. Level 4 +3? Bravo! (Btw: Progam Components
Молодец Юлия , хорошо выступила . Вот только , почему у неё за послединие вращения только 3. уровень ? Это что , судьи счиают что это простой элемент ? Пусть попробую это сделать .
far from her being her idol, in a recent interview she says she had never seen Cohen skate until recently and having watched her doesn't see them as similar skaters at all
"Jumps are tiny, junior"--- cause she's 14! She has plenty of time to grow her jumps out for the Olympics. at 14 she is able to hold her own against girls who are several years older than her; give her 2 years time till the Olympics and she will be tough competition for gold (she already is, IMO)
Удивительно коньках. Я думаю, она должна иметь большую гибкость в сольной, потому что она удивительно, когда речь идет о гибкости. Я также думаю, что она нуждается в большей скорости! это хорошо, что она выскочил прыжок!
i love her consistancy but she REALLY has to become more mature in her style... right now she's just too juvenile. I hope she goes through puberty well and becomes amazing!
All but one judge gave her combo spin +3 (lvl 4) and all but 2 gave her layback +3 (lvl 3). PCS seemed right, her ice coverage and power still aren't the very best.
Yulia is an amazing skater, don't get me wrong. But besides jumps, extraordinary spins and some positions showing her flexibility there is nothing special about this programm. The choreography isn't memorable at all, shes just throwing her arms somewhere, doing some spread eagles, and thats all. She has a great attitude on the ice, but she could do soo much better with a little help from an experienced chreographer
She did use some of the same music as Sasha (dark eyes, nutcracker, r and j) , but in her defense didn't she also have the same choreographer? Morozov? I think the choreographer may just recycle the programs for his clients. For 2013 Julia has a new choreographer and new programs that do not duplicate Sasha's music. Aside from that you can see her potential for greatness here! Go Julia!
I am sure Yulia knows who Sasha is. Athletes in every sport have a knowledge of who/what has come before in their sport. Do you think she is knowledgable of who Baiul, Kwan, or Slutskaya are? If she knows who Slutskaya is, then the girl knows who Sasha Cohen is. I wish her all the best these next few years, so many skaters are unable to survive the growth spurt Yulia is approaching.
yes, her 2011-2012 program's music were dark eyes and romeo and juliet, both were sasha's 2005-2006 program's music. and sasha had performed this music too. but i think she should not copied everything from sasha ,she should choose her own music that suit her.
you do realize this are overused music used in many programs Cohen wasn't even the first to use them, she has her own style quite different to Sasha Cohen, Julia imo is tougher technically and is tough as nails in competition.
Fantastic! I just hope she wouldn't have chosen such a "pompous" music as she is only 14/15? ... And with age her performance will become stronger - nut just jumps and spins. :)
Bringing up me being American as a negative, soooo typical. I never said anything bad about her, only that the fact that she used the exact same music for both programs in one year as Sasha did in one year. Yes, it is a coincidence. Obviously I know that skaters from around the world skate to a plethora of Russian composers music. Just pointing out the similarities in her and Sasha.
She's 14 years old in this video and Sasha's prime competitive years ended in 2006 when Julia was 7/8 years old, how much do you remember from that age? And it's the Nutcracker that is one of the most used musicals for figure skaters, so the "same music" doesn't indicate that she's copying Sasha Cohen.
Her spins aren't anything near a hot mess. And, unlike Cohen, she doesn't need to google "edges" to know what those are :P And we aren't even comparing their jumping abilities here (which would be pointless as Cohen's jumping technique was, weel, a hot mess).
Amazing, but needs more than flexibility to win her GPs. I hope she stays slim even after puberty because she's the perfect shape for jumping and spinning. Still, I expect her to give Wagner a run for her money at TEB.
Wow, quite a coincidence that she has never once seen Sasha skate but used the same music for both her short and long program last season as Sasha had in 2006. Talented girl but I find that if she really did say that comment thats it's a bit of a crock.
terrible double axels a la Lipinski and she's doing two! Jumps are tiny, junior. I really wish she'd jump longer and higher. She lacks power and flair but of course she's a great skater (so consistent, and everything looks so easy to her). Her flexibility is amazing (we need to find a new name for her Bielmann spin !), all the spins are great exc. the layback (very poor free leg position). So, I'm not conquered, I much prefer other amazing Russian skaters but she totally deserves her wins.
She is a fantastic skater!! Unfortunately, she doesn't have the "classic" lines to do a ballet like Nutcracker justice. And those double axels are the worst of any Senior skater on the grand prix. She's lucky she's talented enough to land axels that have awful technique.
It does seem pretty unlikely that an elite skater would be unfamiliar with a former elite skater who was on the medal stand at major international events, Worlds and the Olympics just 6 years ago when she was like 8 or 9. Even people who only pay casual attention to skating are familiar with those who medal at the Olympics. It has nothing to do with where Sasha is from. And by the way, she shows more flexibility than Sasha, but lacks the strength to support it, and her spins are a hot mess.
