2024 GPF - Junior Women FS

[Former Lurve Goddess]

I bet Ted was a an extreme nerd at 14

So like he is now.

Not only does Stefania skate well but is academic and speaks French, Russian and English well. Hmmm ..... makes me wonder WHY my French is "basic" at best when I live in a bilingual country. Have to admire these over-achievers. We see quite a number of them in skating, it seems.

 

[Karen-W]

Breezy 3a, then botches the 3f+3t - nothing anyone says or does can make me get into the Kim twins at all.

Yuseong’s FS music (expect her twin sister Yujae is in the audience?):

Hero (soundtrack) by Tan Dun
A Love Before Time (from "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" soundtrack) by Tan Dun

 

[Colonel Green]

Ah yes, well I remember this ballad from Hero.

 

[beckab81]

This was fine (until the fall), but I want everything to be more stretched and finished.

 

[PRlady]

I can never figure out why some competent skaters are like watching grass grow….

 

[her grace]

Kim

3a which I would review, same with first combo, jumps got stronger as she went, awkward fall on 3s, she’s usually steady, but this was not her day

 

[Hedwig]

Yuseong Kim
3axel okayish
3f 3toe bad landing
3z
she does not even have half the charisma of Gladki
3l 2t
3l 2axel2axel
3f
3sal << fall

technically mostly efficient and very very boring

someone needs to go to Korea and tell them that blink is not enough

Guess we can mark off "very literal costume" for her then, lol.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Why does she only have one deduction? Didn’t she fall twice

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Look at me watching the junior competitions live… Y’all must be so proud of me

 

[Sally1214]

I like these cute doggie stuffies the women are getting.

 

[Karen-W]

Why does she only have one deduction? Didn’t she fall twice

No - she had a stumble out of the 3t in her first combo.

 

[JoannaLouise]

Wang's costume would be good for a "Wicked" program, with the black and green.

 

[tony]

So impressed with Wang's technique again today. The triples are so rock solid, the toe-assist jumps have a deliberate toe pick in, and the landings are so smooth.

Almost no prep into the second Lutz

Still think the interpretation is really lacking.

 

[Karen-W]

All of Wang's skating seems very slow and cautious - and she's as interesting as watching paint dry.

ETA - but, I can agree with @tony calling the jumps deliberate - that and "methodical" were the other words I was considering to describe her today.

It’s so rare for me to agree with u these days. Lol

 

[Allen]

I need a little more spark out of Wang, but she's very talented.

 

[Hedwig]

Yihan Wang
puke face
very pretty dress
3l2toe
very obvious comparsiion but she reminds me of Lu CHen, tiny jumps with incredibly fast rotation
3f2toe
3sal
3f
3z2a2a
3z
3t
much more enjoyable than the Korean skater before her, I think. And I cannot even really say what it is but she drew me in much more!

 

[her grace]

Wang

I really like her technique, correct picking position and good glide out on landings on jumps. Quality centering and correct positions on spins. The program is very basic with little transitional contents, however, and next to no musical interpretation

 

[Sally1214]

Back-to-back clean skates for Wang. Impressive. She really should look happier at the end of the program. That was really good, Yihan. You can smile.

 

[Citlali]

Wang, solid but slow, no interpretation there... I hope she gets it at she grows

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Love Wang's resting bitch face!

 

[Allen]

Just a casual 3a/3t to open

 

[Karen-W]

Wow! Nakai managed the 3a - and in combination!

 

[tony]

Just a casual 3a/3t to open

I'd call it a heavily worked and needs to be reviewed combination, but who knows with that technical panel

Don’t Grassl us

 

[tony]

Nakai has an interesting jump technique that doesn't work for almost anyone else who does it, usually unintentionally. Her elbows really flare out on some of the jumps while she rotates and it doesn't slow her down at all. It actually is somewhat aesthetically pleasing, even.

 

[Allen]

I know, but she just went about it very casually
