So Youn Park KOR

Costume: black mesh with red solid fabric on one side of the bodice and lots of silver crystals

Elements:
3Lz (slight stepout)
2A-3T
3F
FCCoSp
2S-2T-2Lo
2A-3T (stepout, kind of landed on her knee?)
3Lo
Ina Bauer into the crescendo!
3S (stepout)
StSq
CCoSp w/ nice I-spin
LSp-her side position and Biellman have improved a lot.

I like this program for her a lot! Lots of passion and expression. And good for her for trying to get in that second 3T! :yes:

I usually really like Park but something about that failed to connect for me... maybe just my mood, it's hard to explain. I'm glad she was mostly clean though, that's awesome

 

[clippers8200]

I really appreciated SY's fighting spirit in this competition - based off her landings on her 3S in the SP/FS and on her second 2A today, she would always just double or single her following combos, but she really went for it.

 

[sarama]

It sounds like Korea is doing the same thing Russia did in the lead up to Sochi and really focusing on getting some competitive ladies to showcase

Well exactly like in Russia, the generation not eligible for their home Olympics is way stronger, but these three ladies are not bad either compared to the nothingness before them (except for Yuna of course)

 

[Crossover]

Hmm..usual inconsistent So Youn...don't want to be harsh on her, but she really needs to stabilize her consistency.

 

[largeman]

Okay here we go.

 

[tulosai]

I always feel Park's PCS are obscenely low...

 

[samson]

Fun fact that's Mirai's highest PCS, her highest FP score for the fall and also her highest TCS for the fall.

I didn't know Meryl had a pink version of her Scheherazade costume. How nice of her to give it to Wakaba

Jokes aside, I like it much better than her SP costume

 

[Winnie_20]

I saw Wakaba come onto the ice, resisted the urge to shout at the television, "What are you wearing?!" and then thought, Oh please, tell me you're skating to Scheherazade.
;-)
I must say, it does seem a bit edited with extra notes here and there...?

 

[TMC]

Oh Wakaba...

Lots of face-touching in this program. Her expression has improved. First cut of music was a little bit dull. StSq was very well-choreographed! Spiral is not my favorite. Not her strongest skate.

 

[Kuan]

I don´t want to be in Wakabas skin right now. :sad21:

Problems with the lutz, not sure about the program itself

53.88+58.32 = 112.20, 178.86, 1/18

 

[tulosai]

That was relatively well skated and I love the pink costume, but I feel like the music was just too big for her...

 

[sarama]

She popped so much?!? Whyyyyyy?!? Did she even Zayaked? ( I totally lost track)

 

[largeman]

Very solid effort! I love the program again!

 

[Layback11]

She popped so much?!? Whyyyyyy?!? Did she even Zayaked? ( I totally lost track)

Yes, she did three 2Ts.

 

[yyyskate]

wakababy seems tired.
hair deco is better

 

[bluelutz]

No Pink please!
It is not your color.
I like to see more powerful Wakaba than feminine one even if you like to be the latter.
