| This might not be the best time to post this but for those of you who are interested or didn't see it yet, Yu-Na skated a short exhibition to 007 on Battle of the Blades (CBC, Canadian Television) last Monday. Kurt also interviews Brian Orser briefly at the beginning. Enjoy!!

| Why not the best time to post?  I mean yes Mao is out of GPF but it's not Yuna's fault! Yuna looks great, happy even she fell on 2a  I really like then she does her hair like that, I'm really tired to see all these buns  _________________  |

| I know I know I was just worrying for nothing I guess.  I think Yu-Na looks great too... Is it just me or is this rink a lot narrower than a normal one? You can't tell from the normal performances but Yu-Na just takes up so much space you worry she'll go into the crowd  |

| Great program for an exhibition but IMHO, too overtly sexual for competition. Maybe it's because I'm a big conservative prude. I don't want to seem as if I'm stuck in the 1800s, but I do think the traditions of figure-skating should be kept, including keeping the suggestive gazes and gyrations out of competition. There's no denying that Yu-Na is beautiful on the ice, though. She makes figure-skating fun  |

Yes, it was very, very small and narrow.
How do I know? Because I was there!
I drove up to Toronto to see her skate, and she was amazing on the ice. Wonderful basics and so much speed and flow even on that tiny rink; definitely more impressive than on TV. She was also really cute backstage and joking and laughing with everyone, not just the big stars on the show. I love how Mao and Yuna seem like such nice gals.  Now I just need to see Mao in person and my life will be complete! 
@ chineseteacup You know, it's weird. Seeing Yuna in person, she looked a lot younger and cuter to me than sexy. On TV she looks more mature. That said, I agree she could probably lose the move where she reaches down, goes up her leg, and then does a gun move, not because I think it's too sexy, but just because it's a little cheesy.  |

| Well, I think it might be on their website somewhere: http://www.cbc.ca/battle/ But as I was there on Monday, they said Kristi Yamaguchi and someone else would be on next week!  I think Kristi might skate, but I'm not sure! I would love to go up again and see her, but I don't think I'll be able to miss my grad class again.  |

| I know a lot of people in the world are fascinated in the program, but I really hate the choreography.  It's like a fu*k-me erotic dance. No offense, it's just difference of sense of beauty.  |

| I'm not a fan of that program either, but I love Yuna's skating so it doesn't really matter _________________ |

| Liffey, you're so lucky!  Yuna looks great! Seeing her without the bun is even better. I like to see Mao without it, too.

| Yu na has a lot of fans/viewers under 13 (like me), so i think she should have just limited that number to an ex. An 8yo would think even that outfit is gross |

| So she really is human this season after all, huh?  I think the atmosphere was really Bond-girl-esque. The lighting was pretty dark and the wall paneling, too. It was...uh...suggestive. I just think that the whole theme of the program is a little  Maybe just tone it down a bit and focus the choreography on the dynamics of the music rather than the sensual parts. Still, I really need to see Yu-Na live one day. I think I can truly appreciate her skating then. |
