I may be wrong, but I think she is the most beautiful Japanese skater. She looks stunning!

Wow. I didn’t know that Miki lost her father at a young age. It’s remarkable that this tragedy didn’t make any negative impact on her skating and her career. What an amazing inner strength Miki seem to possess. I admire Miki for her positive attitude and for her love of figure skating.

安定感抜群のシーズンだったけど、この試合だけは緊張感が漂ってた。それだけいろんなもの背負って演技してくれてたんだと思う

Amazing performance from Miki:))

この大会は日本開催の予定でしたが、開催直前に起きた東日本大震災により、延期してモスクワでの開催となりました。 2万もの人々が亡くなり、会場では黙祷を捧げてくれました。 安藤美姫の優勝は傷ついた日本を元気づけてくれました。代替のモスクワ、セレモニーに参加してくれた皆様に感謝。私にとって忘れられない大会です。

今回は表彰台に立ちたいと言って、そのてっぺんに立った安藤美姫、震災直後の試合で勇気と優しさを見せてくれた。日本の誇りです。

ぶれないジャンプがすごい✨

About Miki Ando, she had injuries and I don't believe it was the posture that contributed to it. Rather it was poor coaching techniques. Miki's such a talented skater. Her previous coaches were quite inexperienced. Also they didn't try to fix Miki's problem, but let it get worse. If she got a more experienced coach, then she wouldn't have these problems. Also I don't think that Miki's previous coaches paid any attention to Miki's injuries.

Tara needs to stop invoking the name of Michelle Kwan, it's not going to endear her to anyone.

the commentator pretty much RUINED EVERYTHING -.-

I disliked the video because Tara doesnt SHUT. UP.

All Tara "commented" were that "good," "consistent," and "technician." I have never known that commentator is such an easy job. LOL.

本当に、素晴らしすぎてした、美姫さんこれからもますます頑張って❤コーチもね！応援してますよー😮

Tara said that was good

15th in Torino, 5th in Vancouver...Very "Consistent" Tara, lol

Great idea I'm turning the sound off too.

tara wouldn't be quiet, so I turned off the sound

THANKYOU !! finally someone understands..

I'd like to hear Kristi Yamaguchi or Michelle Kwan commentate sometime.

Can someone mute the commentator out

タラのことを言いたいのは、わかるけど美姫ちゃんの演技に言及ないコメントは、失礼だ。

@getrealandsee: Oh my gosh! Even just trying to enjoy a Miki Ando program and I see getreal, and it has figured out a way to somehow bash Kwan. Bahahaha. I love it! You are truly special.

Worst Commentator Ever (aka Tara Lipinski).

I actually like her junior programs a lot more. Might have been a jumping bean but at least she was into it.

I wish I could listen to the music instead of the commentator. Whoever thought commentating during an artistic performance would be a good idea?

Is Tara Lipinski the commentator?

Although I preferred Tara to Michelle during their rivalry, Tara has become an excellent commentator and gives much better interviews than Michelle. Michelle tends to be stiff when commentating and during interviews gives such boring and diplomatic answers such as "I just wanted to go out there and have fun."

Veo el video después de años y recuerdo lo nefasta que es Tara Lipinski como comentarista.

This ladies field was so so weak. Mao was a mess reworking her technique and Yuna was not in shape. Miki was lucky to peak here

Must commend Miki , even if YuNa is an overall better skater. Miki used to have HORRIBLE posture and little artistry. I used to not enjoy watching Miki's skating - I only wanted to see what jumps she landed. But it's clear that she has worked on posture, artistry, etc., over the years. She would not have been able to win Worlds against a pretty skater like YuNa without stepping up her game in this regard.

During my 2 year career...a blip,,,

@sonalisk8 - I understand - she is annoying!

i still think that yuna's is better after watching both

자기토바 보는줄 점프 후반부에 다 배치했네

This was 2007 Worlds all over again. There were better skaters, but Ando got the gold by playing safe while the other girls flopped. Don't know why I clicked to watch this but this is definitely not a skate I would rewatch. Disappointing.

I'm not bias but after watching both their programs, I think Yuna Kim should've won this competition. both made mistake but difference is Yuna had more difficult jumps put into her program. but this might be Miki Ando best chance to beat Yuna who clearly wasn't at her best. and considering the tragic events in Japan, they deserve some good fortune. now they can also add the women's World Cup title to that fortune. feel bad for our women team USA though.

@officeaddict33 well i strongly disagree with u, yuna is a cry baby

She would not have been able to win if this hadn't been the weakest field for a Ladies event at Worlds since the late 80's or if Yuna was in competition shape and had been skating competitively all year. Not even a great skater like Yuna can just show up at Worlds and win after not having skated in a competition in over a year.

I think miki was not the one who deserve the gold for that competition. Suceeding Jumps? That's important I agree with that. But before that, 'how' does the technical elements get performed is the priority when they are judging. I don't think her technical side is not that well. She could do that jumps, But that's not champion's. And her skating flow, speed ,using edge skill, spins are just a little bit weak. This is just my opinion, no offense. Miki ando is such a good skater, but her skills' not that great to be a world's champion.

I love Tara!

Tara's joyous long program from 1998 would have defeated this in every way....technically and artistically.

@gdavidtom u have no taste in ice skating

Yuna was robbed because even her did mistake but overall Yuna is more beautiful artistically and speed or flow and edges far better than miki
