You never upload what we're asking anyway(

[@Olympics]

Hi Anna, which one was your request? Most of our uploads have come from requests made by fans (Adam Rippon's Coldplay, Yuzuru Hany's Notte Stellata, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir's Stay, etc.). We are trying our best to fulfil your requests. And don't forget you can also find more content on www.olympicchannel.com

[@abiyejoseph2980]

Olympic I've been making request almost every week but yet none have been uploaded it's unfair

[@annaive3531]

@@Olympics ​Well, there were A LOT of requests to upload Javier Fernandez, Evgenia Medvedeva, Shoma Uno and others since the beginning. And they're Olympic medalists! You really should have upload them right after the Olympics when figure skating was hot and videos would have a lot of attention and views. And not just as part of your "Music Monday", sorry but they deserve better. You uploaded Javi' FS only in December (almost a YEAR later and his skate could of been called something like "made history for Spain" instead of being "Music Monday" honestly). Your site is great but tbh quality of the picture is not and video freezes from time to time which is really sad since it's the only place to watch the Olympics. But most importantly, KZbin is the most accessible platform: easy to watch, to share videos, to watch on a phone, etc. When people want to search or share videos they go to KZbin but they can't find Olympic performances here. And it's really sad for retired skaters since they won't have another chance for a video viewed by many and especially now when KZbin deleted lots of figure skating videos and channels. Also, for some reason the scores and k&c are missing in a few uploads, don't cut it off, please. And... maybe it's time to upgrade quality, close ups look good but the rest is not so much. Sorry, I really love your channel and you're doing a lot for the sport but...

[@GissiZ]

I think you should upload ALL the medalist performances: SP/SD, FS/FD, and Exhibition Gala. Thank you for all the good content but I think that should have been a must since the beginning... Anyway, I'm (still) waiting for Evgenia Medvedeva's FS, pleaaase. Thank you!

[@cynnimini2650]

I love how she brings a whole different tone to figure skating. She dances more and really puts tricks into the skating in between the jumps. Also she doesnt wear one of the short skirts, wich is total badass

[@Emma88178]

Nothing wrong with skirts though.

[@kawaiiotaku1599]

I noticed most ladies competing in the women’s singles discipline wear skirts/leotards... is it frowned upon to wear pants/unitards in competitions?

[@prokshhh]

@@kawaiiotaku1599 in women's fs, you can't wear 2 pieces, and if you do wear it, you'll get a deduction in score

[@86sineadw]

Serena Williams did this aswell, she had leotards to play tennis in. They were amazing and she broke the boundaries for women and clothing in tennis.

[@niamcd6604]

​@@Emma88178 YES IT IS. IT'S FREAKING OBJECTIFYING!!! I DON'T RECALL MEN IN ANY SPORTS BEING FORCED TO SHOW THEIR FRONT PACKAGES.

GO CHECK YOUR BRAINS PLEASE.

[@anne3305]

Métié has so much power and ease moving across the ice, the choreo and music do not fit her style. She is an amazing skater that deserves a better choreographer and coach. This choreo is slow and choppy as if it wasn’t meant for her or the program

[@olive4naito]

And black Edea Ice Flys to match her costume.

[@iAmaze87]

I kinda see it

[@ersteerste]

She's wonderfully talented, so powerful and graceful! But, alas, she probably doesn't have a good coach.She's so much better than this.

[@aalishag5156]

There is also going to be the bias towards white "light" and "flowy" skaters as well. She did drop out of the first jump but don't mistake that skating has been a predominantly white sport since the beginning

[@badgyalnene4951]

Sharon Newman theres the scumbag in the comments that’s emasculating a black woman

Never did I ever think I'd hear, "Who run this mutha" at a skating competition. I love it!

[@paulinadelgado457]

I met her today at a small competition in Mexico and there she was!!! She was sooooo nice decided to look back into her skating, she is super strong and is definitely rocking this world

[@janettripper3132]

Her footwork is amazing! Brought tears to my eyes.

[@tochie-ugorji2021]

Something I like about this routine is that Mae focuses more on power than she does on grace and style. It's a whole new tone and I love it!

[@primalcritters]

And Alexandra Trusova doesn't? That's why she can't win gold, not a complete figure skater

[@ALT-vz3jn]

That’s why she didn’t win. You need to be a well-rounded skater.

[@MsLizziebeth1]

No, she's graceful! She skates like Katarina Witt!! But to my shock, I can see she is not supple in her long legs or back, so I'd guess she is injured here. But SO BEAUTIFUL. 💞

[@maars75]

I'm french and I support her, but since years I have always the same impression when I see a video : wasted talent. If only she had a real coach (made for her needs)... Who will not let her practice with posture bad habits for example. And it's not just for the moves in general : even for fluidity and jumps, a good posture is necessary. And everytime they give her a basic choreography (while she can do SO MUCH more). Very very sad.

[@maemeite6195]

Thank you for your comment. Now I just want to clarify few things. The coaches I had/have are real coaches, please respect their work. You might not see any progress but I did progress. We have been working on skating skills/air position/fluidity in the movement but we had to start from zero to erase all the bad habits I've had for the past 15 years. So yes it's a very fastiduous work. Hopefully you'll be able to appreciate the improvement.

[@maars75]

@@maemeite6195 I know for the injury but sorry I will not change my opinion. I SWEAR I SEE THE PROGRESS and I HAVE NOTHING TO BLAME ABOUT YOUR HARD WORK.✋ But I have always and will always think "she has an amazing talent but not the right coaches and the right choreographers yet." That's the point.😔 And I'm a figure skater (I saw/met you in real life and I watch your programs since yeaaars, I see the progress !) so I respect every figure skating coaches on this planet BUT all coaches don't have same method. Sorry when I said "real coach", I mean "the real coach MADE FOR YOU", qui corresponds à tes besoins je veux dire. (Enfin je sais c plus complexe que cette phrase notre coach nous en parle parfois des différences de méthodologie même vis à vis de nous, dsl je sais pas comment expliquer ça.) Anyway, I will always support your undeniable talent and admire your perseverance, fighting ! ❄❤✊

[@citizenlaw7159]

You had to compare.....stop

[@Tb-tl4ni]

@@citizenlaw7159 she can compare if see wants. Don't troll, if you don't like someone else's opinion.

[@r.g6170]

there's something memorable and captivating here. but the choice of music and choreography doesnt suit according to my opinion. she can do much better. she looks talented enough to pull off deeper music and harder programs.

[@Taedjaire]

Her music was deep enough, there are professional figure skaters that skate to medley's...yes she could've had more challenging routine and better choreography but her music was fine. Transitions were shaky but that again goes back to the coaching

[@ninawestlake5005]

And this is the general problem with individuals who are afraid to speak up to so called coaches, teachers, doctors etc. Because even a goat could feel that this type of hella hyped up music is not suitable to skate to.

I don't like how some of yall are throwing around the word "graceful. Be careful with your words because they're implying some biases. Also let people push the envelope sometimes. You may not like it, but you have to respect it. Who knows? One day people will look back on this and see a pioneer, someone who challenged tradition. I hope she Mae gets more opportunities to show the world why she's a star ❤️

[@globalcitizenn]

The bias might be on your part, objectively she needs to follow through and finish her movements so it looks graceful, otherwise it looks unfinished. That’s the difference between just exercise and dance/art.

[@RatchetRalph]

She’s so amazing but choreo was lacking and fluidity of the music didn’t match her amazing skills... get her an amazing coach like Suria Bonally Lol

[@en273]

Ratchet Ralph they would be my goddamn dream team.

[@Johnmag1976]

She is super powerful .i fear it scares judges .❤

[@primalcritters]

Alexanfra Trusova is extremely powerful, quads after quad powerful, it does not scare the judges it's just that she's not artistic enough. This is a competitive sport that requires prima ballerina skills, rhythmic gymnast, and modern dancing to win. Kamila Valieva is the gold standard

[@Johnmag1976]

@@primalcritters i understand. I always was upset that sports like gymnastics would dépend on the judgement of aristic performance...sport and art should never meet at Olympics this is not the spirit of the games. It's all about how stong, high, fast and far...not if you are élégant and fancy achieving it.

[@renegaderunner332]

She is also a dark skinned Black person. I think this is a factor as well.

[@ludmilamaiolini6811]

Fun Pazion I’m not an expert on figure skating, but I felt the same thing... her movements didn’t really match the song. But I’ve seen so many performances where the same thing happens.

[@MKPiatkowski]

They usually get penalized when they do, unfortunately. See Suria Bonally. She only got good marks once she ditched the bodysuit.

[@Emma88178]

A lot of them do actually

[@Emma88178]

Also there is nothing wrong with skirts

[@super_vampire_princess]

@@Emma88178 There actually is something wrong with skirts in competitive sports; it decreases performance. If a skater wants to make their best possible performance, they should wear skin-tight outfits such as trousers. Indeed, skirts - being a useless piece of fabric flapping around - interfere with air resistance meaning that if you wear one, your are less aerodynamic and physically cannot move as fast and smoothly (which is obviously a bad thing for ice skating). The difference is small, but it is still there. In addition, people who wear skirts have the skirt's movement to worry about, especially if they don't wear much underneath. Although this distraction is mainly unconscious, it still exists. Thus, if two equally qualified skaters (of the same gender) do the exact same choreography, if one wears trousers and the other a skirt, the one with a skirt will perform slightly less well simply due to the laws of physics, and the subconscious psychological effect I mentioned above. Depending on the choreography, the difference may be so small that it barely noticeable, but it is still there. In all, if a skater wants to make their best possible performance, they should wear skin-tight outfits such as trousers.

[@nikavance9453]

@@MKPiatkowski Lol what? No one gets penalised for wearing a bodysuit. Surya Bonaly had lots of challenges in her career, including outright racism, but bodysuit itself wasn't one of them. Bodysuits are allowed and Mae-Berenice gets penalised for very poor skating skills, not her costume choice.
