[@keiko4043]

Completely agree. I think a lot skating fans mistaken artistry as having dramatic facial expressions (hence Medvedeva 's popularity) but I think nothing will ever beat this program. Yulia was feeling the music with her motions and I think combining that with the subtlety in her expressions actually made this even moving than a full out theatrical act. Plus, if I was watching this from the far back row, I prolly won't be able to see the skaters' faces. I'm not bashing Medvedeva's approach ofc, but I just think Yulia definately outshines her in terms of artistry.

[@hrush437]

Helluminati : Well-said♡

[@matthewlinz4744]

The thing is that Eteri has trained dancers more technically talented than Lipnitskaya. But nobody has been able to recreate the magic that was this performance. Her emotion and her expressivity - at just 15 years old - that's what's more out of this world than anything. And I don't think what she has can be taught.

[@fangirl2840]

What she has is a rare eternal fire called passion. True, anyone can have passion but few can have passion such as this, it can’t be taught, it has to be felt. If you don’t feel it then you don’t have it

@@kaylacoded She grew up poor and she and her mom gave up everything to move to Moscow for a shot at working with coach Eteri Tutberidze, living in their car for a while. She got her chance and this video shows the results of that collaboration. Post-Olympic season, she struggled with puberty and motivation as her teammate Medvedeva rose to prominence. She eventually changed coaches, had limited success in revising technique to her more adult body, and eventually retired at age 17 due to a long battle with anorexia nervosa, probably dating back to this performance. All of this played out very publicly as she was a huge sensation in Russia, which was hard for her as she's a very private person. She seems to be in a better place now as a new mom and starring in Evgeni Plushenko's production of Cinderella.

I’ve never seen such a fluid, raw, graceful and delicate performance by such a mature skater for her age. Her performance had an element that I had never seen in a figure skater before. She was like a little angel on the ice such a prodigy and so talented that it literally drew me in to the world of figure skating. She simply captivated me and since then I have watched too many gps, worlds, and Europeans to count. I’ve seen every performance by Zagitova, Medvedeva, Kihira, Kim, Sakimoto, Trusova, Shcherbakova, Kostornaia but still years later no skater has ever compared to Yulia.

It's sad that she ended up retiring at such a young age. Her grace, flexibility, and personality will always be missed on Olympics. But as long as she's happy with her decision, for the sake of her health; I am happy for her also.

[@Алла-ц5я]

Это, люди, и есть огромный талант, когда творят спокойно, без крика и кривляний. Но так, что трогает до глубины души. И да, Юля может быть и не самая лучшая катальщица, но в подаче программы, компонентов она др сих пор непревзойдённа . да, хороша была Камила , прелестна, озящна, но то, что сделала на Сочинской Ооимпиаде маленькая Юля , неповторимо, ее выступление в момент взбудоражило и восхитило весь мир, независимо от предпочтений к кому то виду спорта. Это было настоящее открытие нашей Олимпиады. Идут годы, появляются новые прекрасные фигуристки, но Юля навсегда остаётся первой нашей российской одиночницей, ставшей олимпийской чемпионкой, пусть даже и в командном зачёте. И мы ее никогда не забудем. Она настоящая звезда одиночного фигурного катания!

[@doeidoei1489]

When I read the news of her retirement I started crying. I can't believe that skating has just lost his brightest star. She is so unique and I always looked up to her as my role model. Zagitova and Medvedeva are obviously great, but Lipnitskaya had that "je ne sais quoi", her incomparable grace and personality. No one can really know what she has been throught, but I just hope that she will be fine, that she will find happiness and joy in her life. Love you so much Yulia!❤️

I first watched this program when the views here were 8M and now it's hitting 20M... Time flies. I hope this FS would be the highest views for women single skate for ever longer. I can't stop missing Yulia.

[@timdavis1026]

I hate to compare, but with the ladies individual event coming up in PC 2018 I just had to come back and watch this program. Yes, Evgenia is beautiful and graceful, with consistent jumps and spins, etc. She's an actress on ice, and that's very endearing. Yes, Alina (I love Alina!) is an amazing athlete with phenomenal star power, artistry, incredibly tight, rotated jumps, and style. Both girls are young, hardworking, and talented. Yet neither of them, or any of the Russian girls that have come and gone, for that matter, compare to Yulia. At least for me, Yulia just has this amazing fluidity, this incredible feeling for the music, this unparalleled grace that can not be taught or replicated. I've replayed that entry into the triple lutz triple toe countless times, watched the transition out of the triple loop wordlessly. She made me forget that this was a competition, that she was just skating for points - because she wasn't. Her eyes reached into the souls of all her viewers, and her flexibility took our breaths away. Her jumps were timed beautifully with the music. All the stories she told were not as trivial as Evgenia's and Alina's can sometimes feel. Yulia was so sincere in her skating that the story wasn't just "a story" anymore - it was an experience. She is a legend, and no one can take that away from her.

[@Greenhate90]

[@HaleLightning]

Agreed. The others technically did amazing but this performance in particular has something that will last forever in the minds of viewers. It's the piece of music, it's the skating and the pacing, the fluidity and gracefulness of the skater, something more that hopefully will endure as time passes.
