Yuna Kim claims that Japanese figure skaters ruined her practice jumps

People should stop complaining about others and concentrate on themselves.

In this case, Yuna Kim, rather than to waste your own time whining you should consider putting that effort into your own practice…so maybe that one day you COULD win something.

You know what is a common theme as well? People tend to blame OTHERS before pointing their finger at themselves. Maybe if this could be reduced, we wouldn’t have as many controversies that are pretty pointless and stupid.

Also look at the ugly picture they printed on newspaper. Very unprofessional.

She did win. So I do not understand the “If you can’t win, whine” remark. Also, Yuna did not mention any name or country during her interview. Before writing such things about a person,One should gather actual facts, if his or her intentions are to let the people know the ‘truth’. I

Other skaters block Kim Yuna, Kim Yuna blocks other skaters – What else would you expect in an event where young girls compete to outshine each other? It’s not a team event – It’s all about “me”.

sasha,you really sound korean
koreans always deny after something happened and blame japan.
i see this a lot on youtube.

i have been reading what people were saying here and i couldn’t stand any more.

yuna kim clearly claimed that japanese skaters ruined her practice!if she didnt mention “japanese skaters”,why is it such controversial in japan?
yuna didnt expect that japan figure skating association was gonna complain and this issue was gonna be such a big mess.

i can easily guess that the canadian coach is brainwashed that japanese are evil because he lives in korea.

sasha, if you guys really wanna be friend with japan, why don’t you stop anti-japanese education?
do you think 2 would be great friends if one kills national bird like that way??????
it doesnt make sense.

every time i watch TV,koreans burn japanese flag.
how come yuna or korea admits that she made a mistake,then japanese dont have to get angry.
a lot of korean people get on youtube and blame japan for anything!!im so sick of it!

i do know that if two countries can be best friends ,nothing would be better.
but it seems korea loves to hate japan,
im not trying to be offensive but korea should grow up and learn true history and nationalism instead of lying and hating.

Kim Yuna never said that even though alot of people think Mao and Yuna hate each other in real life they are buddies.

I can’t believe how low and vile Japanese people are like. I’m not Asian so please do not try to turn this around to a specific country. I am just a skating fan.

But I believe Japan is equality to blame for how this incident became such a big deal. First of all, some skaters did obstruct Yuna Kim’s practice intentionally. It appalls me to see how Japan tries everything in its power to not even acknowlege that fact. That fact that there were annoying amount of obstruction happening during the practice is completely being ignored. Why on earth would any skater complain about it if such incidents didn’t happen? To the point that her team felt it needed to be addressed officially. Her coach is Canadian by the way, not even a Korean and it has nothing to do with nationality. Of course the reporters had to see who this was. And I blame the reporters for blowing it out of proportion, jumping to conclusion and plastering it all over the news, even if I do believe it was the Japanese skaters (and there are so many Japanese skaters by the way) that did obstruct her practice in purpose.

But then, Japanese media, piles on with multiple voracity, posting sly, vile pictures and accusation that Yuna Kim is doing this on purpose when there was no obstruction at all to begin with.

Typical of Japanese, they don’t acknowledge their wrong AT ALL. It started with Japan. Yet, they again turn it around and abuse and demise others for calling out the truth. (remember WWII?)

I have heard and seen in many incident how vicious Japanese can be. I don’t need to live in Asia to hear and learn of Japan’s personality. Japan like to torture and belittle people to utmost vicious level. I have heard of many incidents where Japanese students drives their own follow classmates to suicide by viciously bullying and belittling them. I can see this happening with Yuna’s incident too. It is sad to see such inhuman actions Japanese pursue but doesn’t even know they are being such an embarrassment. They care so much about their image yet, they have no idea they are destroying it by trying to viciously protect it.

japanese girls are hot.

Sports and media shenanigans don’t mix well in every part of the globe. I really want to enjoy watching sports as art forms, not as issues raised by the mass media.

okay-
It’s really immature of fans of boths sides to point fingers at each other and say f**** you and etc. Interference during practice happens, and although people shouldn’t complain, they still have a right to.

And the fact that on both sides, the media is constantly bringing up this stuff, divides Koreans and Japanese even more. People, start thinking for yourselves, not necessarily what the media is telling you.

I believe Mao and Yuna were pretty friendly (judging from past photos). The atmosphere has gotten tense since the Olympics are right around the corner. But I think Mao is one of the sweetest people. I saw her in an interview on a Korean station one time, and she was absolutely charming and very sweet.

Whatever happens, the playing field at the Olympics needs to be equal, level, and fair. Only in that case, would the best athlete win. Don’t we all want to see only the best win? Whether it be Mao Asada, Yuna Kim, Miki Ando, etc.

here goes those japanese people. always whining after a loss. how unfortunate. suck it up sore losers. Mao NEVER HAD A CHANCE

Just because Mao did her triple jumps doesnt mean she should have won. Mao may have landed her triples without incident but she failed to do all that well in other aspects…like messing up on a less difficult jump and mistepping randomly as she skates. She knows she didnt do her best and she admitted that. . .so why is everyone making a big deal about Yuna winning? She deserved it. People always see what they want to see and if they are going to construe and contort every comment and apply it as omg they hate eachother. . i hate her or her. I keep running across some japanese blog with them criticizing every aspect of Yuna’s jumps and how shes not even that good. Sounds a bit sore

I’ve followed these vicious attacks on Yuna from japanese including japanese media. They just don’t like her winning over their own athletes no matter what she does. Likewise, Korean media and haters have similar attitude towards Mao.

As for this “story”, Yuna said some japanese skater obstructed her because she felt that way. whether it is true or not. I think that’s possiblity because there are almost always three or four japanese skaters while she’s practicing. And Yuna mentioned it to local reporter as a simple comment. And then japanese media/haters got what they wanted – the reason for them to hate her and to justify their “hate” activities.

For example, during Olympics, 50-60% of Videos about Yuna Kim on Youtube was Japanese’s hate videos. Unlike other hate videos, these videos were well-organized so they can pollute Youtube in long time enough.

Of course, I don’t defend Korean counterparts because they’ve done nothing less than what japanese haters did. And Korean media also gave them motives as well.

At the end, Yuna won Gold and Mao got Silver. And Korean/Japanese media got what they wanted – something to write in order to sell their product and ad. Who do you think real loser(s) here is? Mao? I don’t think so. Although she got silver, she impressed ISU enough to change some of scoring system. So Mao will be just fine whether Yuna will be retired or not after Worlds.

Real losers are the haters in my opinion. Even after olympics, thanks to the corresponding media’s shameful work, there are so much things for haters to do in order to attack Yuna or Mao, of course, without any rewards. Then maybe that’s the way the haters really wanted. I think this Mao/Yuna hate story gets one of the stupidest things so many people are involved in modern society.

hey!! lol..

it seems that u guys r telling lie..
kim yu na didnt say such bad about japan. in other way maybe japan was one whose making up stories to blame korea.. (maybe,,)
but this kind of thing doesnt matter because kim is winner.. lol

I am not Korean and not Japanese..but it is so obvious to the neutral observer that many Japanese are going to great lengths to smudge/discredit Kim YunA’s name in articles like this and in YouTube. The extreme jealousy that the Japanese display on the achievements of Kim YunA is quite disturbing to read.

Another unimportant words from “Queen” Yuna

Nothing like dragging up an old thread to vent incoherently….
BTW, when you say “STOP telling people what to do,” are you telling people what to do?
