sorry… i missed…
she did better than mao asada…
her jumps were excellent except one but asada’s jumps were poor except one..
i would give a gold medal to her if i could mark..
joannie rochette is a very couragious woman and her mom is beaming with pride for her beautiful and very talented daughter from the heavens and she is a source of strength for herself, her dad and her family and the world is inspired by her grace, courage, talent and beauty. she is my role model for sure.
Respect
I didn’t get a chance to see her performance. Thank you so much for filming it. Nice Job by the way. I t was interesting to see it form the fans point of view.
Made me cry
Don’t wanna know what those tickets cost! Joannie’s story is amazing. She should be so proud of herself.
The footage is amazing!
that is so cool that you were actually there!
Joannies`s mom R.I.P.
Joannie, respect!!!
me to
@spankyelmojr What an absolutely horrid thing to say, I think you would be a little numb to if your mother died aftering flying in to see you compete. There is a word for the likes of you !
@marchjoy
Huh??? I think you misundersttood me…..
It was Great…that Joannie competed. It showed alot of Strength.
All I’m saying…is that I got a weird vibe. Something just seemed off. I can’t explain it. When she said that her mother would’ve wanted her “to party tonight”??? It just sounded weird.
what she did showed such a great amount of inner strength and perserverance…i still cry when i see this…what a competitor and to skate this good….she will go down as an olympic legend…people like joannie are what the olympics are all about…we love you joannie and may your mom RIP…keep skating so beautifully for yourself and for your mother!!
Great video.
The Canadian fans in the stands were really showing the love to Joannie.
love you, too joannie
she had guts to stake after the death of her mom!
Very interesting to see a skating performance from someone’s own view from their camera, whether from the past or today. However, it isn’t really surprising today, and to be put online! She is the most complete skater out there, and the best in artistry and passion!
The ladies short program at these games was the best judged, I have ever seen in all the years I watched skating. Mirai and Miki both under rotated their jumps and got the scores they deserved especially Miki who I have seen skate much better and faster, she lack speed in both short and long. Mirai lost the US championship to Rachele Flatt because of her under-rotating jumps, and she did the same here, her footwork could also come up a level. Joannie definitley derserved Bronze.
Wow! Can you give us any insight into what the experience was like? Great performance!!!!
awesome!
@averageworkinggal With all due courtesy and respect I disagree with you- ALL the fans in the stands were really showing the love to Joannie; not just the Canadians,
I would have so loved to have been there: that day, this American became Canadian. Grace and courage took the ice: in my eyes, she won gold. 5/5 stars.
@openminded1313 – But, of course.
This is the most poignant Olympic moment ever.
Unforgettable.
did u not see the korean fans sitting down? other than that i believe most everyone was standing….i believe Joannie Rochette deserved the Silver but i’m SO GLAD she got on the medal stand!
No, I did not see the Korean fans sitting down. Not surprising though. I lived there (in the Republic of Korea) for over a year and found them to be some of the most stubborn, bull-headed, and obstinate group of people I had ever dealt with. Only people I know of that come close to them in those traits is the Irish (if I make make such a derogatory remark near St. Patrick’s Day).
