She just looks like she skates for the sheer joy of it. Good for her

Pure joy. I don't even really like figure skating, but man, give that girl her props. And the story behind her family.

Ya my gf just said she doesn't even look like she's trying. In a good way.

Same. I know next to nothing, but she looked different than the others. More powerful.

The ring inside her mouth is nasty though.

Her story is so crazy too with the whole CCP trying to kidnap her family and retiring at 16 because she hated the micromanagement.

Came back fully on her own terms and it’s just beautiful to watch her skate with no burdens or expectations.

Same. She’s such a breath of fresh air. Glad she won!

I believe NBC embargoed coverage of the medal ceremony until what we're about to see.

Called it in another thread after the short program. That girl was skating with no pressure and sheer joy. Really happy for her.

Of course she's from Oakland

She looks like she rips cigs before practice

The back flip isn't hard for them and isn't worth anything point wise. Both men and women were doing this in the 80's till it was banned. They like it and people think it's impressive. That's why they do it.

Unlike the Iron Lotus which is extremely difficult and can kill you if your timing is off.

I think pretty much everyone who has watched at least 10 minutes knows this. My post is talking about aura, saying the US has it this year.

I get that it is intense competition and skaters have to be very focused, but she is the only one I’ve seen in these games that actually looks like she enjoys skating.
