Regular People Try Olympic Figure Skating (With Kristi Yamaguchi)

[@Bolihunter15]

I think rainbow shirt was pretty good because he wasn't afraid of falling, he embraced his fate and just exerted himself fully

[@karamurray1883]

Alexis Garcia those are the rules of figure skaters.ps I'm a figure skater so this was halarious to me

[@mandyc3524]

i was thinking the exact same thjng

[@scottevans748]

Not me. I thought about inertia, and strategically employing a fetal position to combat fate.

[@dbamp]

was just about to comment that

[@alexisgarcia5546]

Fun fact my name is Alexis Garcia

[@Bmore04]

“My mother used to tell me I was a natural athlete, ... she lied” 😂😂

[@DanielSmith-kb5bb]

[@hellobhowareyou9450]

Daniel Smith ik🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

[@ashleycoker9087]

I felt sorry for him lol

[@mooncide_]

I knew the moment she said "how hard can it be?" that she was doomed from the start 😂

[@lunarwolfmaiden]

yup, karma. lol

[@sprinklersister5]

it made me real mad when she said that lol

[@taylortong995]

UnovaTrainerWhite I mean ice skating is already hard af

[@erizabesu08]

She was the one having the most trouble in my opinion, too lol

[@trashcant69]

As a figure skater I found that really offensive xD

[@magalyloya1291]

Of course the girl that said it wouldn't be difficult ended up struggling. Don't under estimate ice skating 😂

[@MrsSasukeUchiha]

maggie L 😂😂😂

[@claytonmatthews3436]

[@isabellaeliisa]

maggie L FIGURE skating. There is a difference.

I also think we shouldn’t underestimate anything in general. We never know!

People always underestimate things related to dance 😂 its hilarious when they try and realize

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@johnnyc3156]

So kristi doesn’t age after 1996

[@hckyroxs8019]

I'm a hockey player but I have a lot of respect for figure skaters, it's a tough sport. As soon as that lady said "how hard could it be?" I just burst out laughing and knew she would soon find out how hard it really is.

[@jennatuffnell1843]

hckyroxs oh thank god,someone who doesn't say figure skating is easy.We figure skaters know that hockey isnt that easy either but CAN YOU NOT SCREW UP OUR ICE

[@hckyroxs8019]

Lol, it's funny you say that cuz as hockey players we're always "why do figure skaters screw up our ice with their toepicks?!?!" Joking aside, my best friend growing up did figure skating so I really learned to appreciate it.

[@mr.baymax6809]

All these figure skating moves are pretty easy for me lol

[@hanphilnoffz8827]

I can't even skate fastest I went without machine is running i only bike 21 mph short burst and i run faster and i run and do soccer

[@marinamorton8458]

Thank you!

[@steffij9775]

Girl said "it's gonna be easy" doesn't understand how lethal figure skating is.. It's hella difficult to skate... Don't underestimate it cuz it's pretty

[@MadisonM1]

Steffi J she also wasn't committing because she was too scared to fall but the guy that was doing the best also fell the most so there's a lesson there

[@marinaplana7669]

Yup, if you wanna skate well, you have to fall more times than you can count 😂

[@ktkennedy7421]

Steffi J You and i are simalar! In slytherin, and Ice skate!

[@welcome2insanity267]

Right?! It's the hardest sport out there! Not to mention one of the most dangerous

[@avannaellormie2178]

I wanna see hockey players try figure skating.

She did one video actually. It's with her husband who's a NHL player: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGK9f5h6i6d2oac

theres a tv show called Battle of the Blades where they have professional hockey players do figure skating with professional figure skaters.

[@vicky-mw8pc]

[@belleglaesman6862]

I’m a figure skater and when she said “how hard can it be” I said “oh just you wait”

[@silverackerman394]

Jazzy Wolf I'm not even an ice skater and I just stared at her and shook my head

[@thynguyen911]

I can't skate lol but i rolled my eyes SO hard when she said that

[@eviemay1588]

I used to skate too! It’s funny because we all kinda get confident learning something new if it’s going well but then we fall on our faces and remember figure skating is really freaking difficult

[@trashcant69]

Jazzy Wolf sameee xD. Like lmao I want you see doing triples like it's nothing xD

[@rileyjane6642]

samee

[@k10cheetah]

Kristi is 46 years old... How tho? Also, remember when she was in that old Disney movie called "Go Figure"? She looks exactly the same! And that came out like 20 years ago!

[@MsNinian1]

More like 46 years young.

[@skinkscat]

That movie came out in 2004 I think, so 14 years, but I totally agree! She's gorgeous

[@PinheadPrincess]

Asians don't raisin

[@rudy1999]

Because asian+makeup. There were an article about some japanese women who were 50+ but looked 20

[@АбылсеиытМамадалиев]

[@formerflautist]

Kristi is ageless.

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

formerflautist She IS though...like, it’s unfair really.

[@emanon-]

Came straight out of her Olympic debut

[@butwhytho1008]

Asian don’t raisin

[@bbysenii]

How could you think that because you are an gym nut or fitness junkie means you'll have a natural advantage SKATING ON ICE. The cloest a person can get to that and not be on ice is ballet and I'm sure she doesn't do that. The dude who fell did a little better than her. And he isn't even an athlete or anything.

[@pyoyo8]

Retro Bit Baby RBB true!!!!

[@MadisonM1]

Yeah I do ballet and I don't really ice skate as I live in Florida but once in a blue moon I do and I can't skate normally so this girl had no idea

[@rabbit8568]

I think she said it for the video so they can rewind back to it to make a joke.

[@savannah5632]

Retro Bit Baby RBB chill out it was a joke don’t take it so seriously

[@sophialecompte8521]

Retro Bit Baby RBB yeah I’m a dancer and people are just like yeah I go to the gym once a week so I’d probably be good at dancing and I’m just shaking with anger

How can she not have aged at all since 1992

[@drewpamon]

So many 5 year old girls who can already do all these moves and were insanely jealous that they didn't get to train with Kristi

[@trashcant69]

drewpamon many 5 year old girls already have their singles

[@MsMorepinkplease]

drewpamon you can out your toddler on the ice. By the time they're five tell have been skating for years.

[@wetowl6239]

And boys too

[@nuclearseahorse]

I commend these people because i cant even skate normally, much less do any sort of tricks. Ive tried several times and it just doesnt come naturally

[@tominations5401]

Nina M. No sport comes naturally it takes practice

[@nuclearseahorse]

Tominations some sports are easier for some than others though physically. My feet are slightly pigeon toed and have fallen arches so the motion of skating is more difficult for me than for someone with normal feet. So i guess by naturally i mean predisposed to perform better in certain aspects of physical activity

[@tominations5401]

Nina M. Still it doesnt come naturally.. It may be easier for some but it still takes practice

[@HaveanIcedaymx]

Come to my channel! I'll teach you! I've taught toddlers through 30 year olds! You can do it ;)

[@lab3706]

Nina M. I wouldn’t make it across the rink...I’ll stick to playing guitar.😜go Chen!

[@sophiebellefontine2798]

when she said “how hard can it be” figure skaters everywhere all died 😂

[@camikqzeee]

I like how the one who did the best is the one who fell the most. I think that’s good to remember

[@noprofile8503]

A lesson to be learned.

I cant even skate on ice normally without holding on to a wall.

[@lunarose7490]

[@glitterghost6306]

I hate when people are like this lady "how hard can it be" for us, figure skaters, skating is our life and we dedicate it so much. So much bruises, hours, money, passion, pride, effort and we do it just to one day see our family in the audience watching us perform and being proud of us and then we feel like all of this time was really worth it. So don't be like "oh this looks simple I could probably do it too." because it's hard as heck and when I hear something like that I feel really insulted. You need to really love this sport to do it, being able to skate forward doesn't mean you'll do good as a figure skater.

[@clairek.2125]

i relate a lot to this as a former solo competitor myself. ❤️❤️❤️ this is so very true.

[@lucywooldridge8525]

Yes! Totally agree with you ❤️

[@booonnoob7950]

This applies to every sport and passion. Just gotta get use to it.

[@AyubuKK]

[@alittlebitofjessica]

I respect what you do and what you’re trying to do but everyone has said that about any one thing at one point or another, or at least thought about it. Piano? How hard could it be? Motorcycle riding. Easy, right? Cooking. Anybody can cook. Figure skating DOES look easy because figure skaters make it LOOK easy. I wouldn’t feel offended.

[@mohamedashian604]

“How hard can it be” Famous last words before disaster strikes

[@ais6896]

Lolol mad respect for the editors for lowkey roasting that fitness instructor with her own words XD I'm dying

"How hard can it be?" *stood there freezing for 3 minutes*

[@praseodymiumstwin1633]

Okay but all of them were at a disadvantage in those rentals. They have the added stability of wet tissue paper

[@anwren6794]

I’m a figure skating and I learned to skate in rentals 🤷‍♂️ I didn’t get proper skates until I was doing waltz jumps. And actually, their rentals are way better than the ones i wore! I had those horrible hard plastic ones most days. It’s a disadvantage yes, but not by much. When learning I actually found rentals easier as I didn’t have to worry about tripping on the toe pick so much or having blades that gripped the ice too much. Plus I mean, what else are they meant to wear? Proper skates are only an advantage if they fit, and they aren’t going to spend two hundred dollars each on skates for one video.

[@nikorucupcake2499]

“How hard can it be?” Gurl, doing ice sports are *extremely* different than land sports

[@katie4623]

I hope that lady was kidding when she said how hard can it be. How dismissive.

[@lyndah3195]

Sorry pushed submit accidentally.....Anyway what I was trying to say was the difference between rental skates and real figure skates there’s a world of difference

[@CAARE.]

the try guys should have done this

[@dapheyni]

Chub Nugget my thoughts exactly 😂😂

[@johnchambers8528]

Having been an adult figure skater I remember how hard it was to start. Then to learn some of the basic spins and jumps just added to the challenge. I stuck with it and actually competed in the adult level South Atlantic and Eastern figure skating competitions after a few years of training. I even ended up teaching adult beginner group skating lessons at my rink. Compared to children adults are usually more afraid to fall so that is one of the things that makes it harder for them to learn and progress. The only thing I saw that I feel Kristi should have said was on the two foot spins that all the beginners needed to try to keep their heads up and arms out and level to start their spins. After they were comfortable with that they most likely could have done a decent two foot spin.

[@caitlineriveragraduationof5978]

[@madisongallacher7429]

"how hard can it be?" chuckles* you where doomed from the start.😂

[@jazzyj904]

Kristi was the first PERSON I remember watching ice skate. It always looked so elegant. I went ice-skating one-time 15 years ago. I've been wanting to start doing it constantly. I purchase my own skates and have went skating 3 times. My main goal is to just get comfortable skating regularly. If I can get to Kristi's level, that'd be great 😊.

[@clairek.2125]

these words coming from a girl who did competitive solo figure skating for four years after training for four years: you will not be a good skater based on other things. it’s very different from most sports because the entire concept is balance. honestly i was aggravated with the girl in this video. she was cocky beyond normal confidence and assumed that her other skill sets translated. off ice training would’ve been better for her, but her cockiness put her in immediate danger, even though it was just a mindset. meanwhile, rainbow shirt guy put everything he had into the session which is exactly what you should be doing as a figure skater or someone just skating for fun. it doesn’t matter how good you are if you don’t put in any personality. that won’t let you win.

[@maura_the_rose]

Claire K Actually, I'm a figure skater coming from years of experience in riding horses. I've been skating for a little over a month and have started jumping, and even playing with jump transitions. I can confirm that the muscles and balance you develop in riding will 100% help on the ice. You use the same muscles; your core, legs, and constant squaring of the shoulders (sticking your chest out.) As well as having a feel for the pressure you put into the ice.

As a dancer, I have so much respect for figure skaters because they are going so fast, trying to portray emotion, trying to balance and land jumps while being graceful. I have never been good at skating, but then again I haven’t practiced much but I think figure skating is beautiful.
