I read somewhere that she actually (and) unfortunately overheard that the competition was rigged so that she could never have become first place... she overheard this moments before performing this piece. The audience loved her, the jury did not. So when she was invited on stage to perform an encore she was still feeling this emotion and "didn't really care" at the time that she was playing music for her audience. This is why she heavily leans on the piano at 10:56 and ends up in tears....
It's politics vs. what the audience loves.
I don't even care to look up the name of the person who got first place.
In my eyes and ears, Clara-Jumi Kang won the competition.

Still today I can't believe they didn't give her gold medal.

Sublime, her tears say it all, thanks Clara.

She is one of very few violinists today that I think we still can see the "old school style" playing. I do not know why some how I can hear Heifetz's sound in her interpretation. It is just my opinion

Имела огромное удовольствие слушать её на конкурсе Чайковского.

Yesterday, regarding Clara's interpretation of Lalo's Spanish Symphony, I wrote that her technique is unsurpassed. Today, after hearing this interpretation, I am at a loss for words, I do not know what to say. It's unbelievable! Congratulations, Clara!

Je n'ai plus les pieds sur terre, ce que propose Clara est tout simplement une merveille de pureté, de toucher et de sensibilité qui me rend l'âme heureuse.

dear Clara, you are truly an angel. I'm from Brazil, I don't play musicians, but I love the sound of the violin. From the first time I heard you playing, you touched my heart and soul. May this beautiful and talented girl continue to be. I support you. Congratulations.
