2023 NHK Trophy Women's Free Skate

[moonvine]

I will cheer for Yelim as @Ichatdelune seems to be not here.

She choreographed it herself!!

Skaters should do that more often if they can. I gives the performance a notable personal touch. In my memory Karen Chen's peacock program is still quite alive.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

don’t let the boards take you down!!

 

[RatedPG]

I’m in tears of happiness
This is her best free skate of the season so far!!
She did so well at last years Nationals!!
I was a bit mad not to see a 3Lz 3Lo. But, she went for a safe skate!!
Yay!! She scored 180+; that is good for her!! And ahead of Gubanova

 

[RatedPG]

That was going to be such a gigantic combo!!

 

[TT_Fin]

Oh my dear, not falling when hitting the board it is quite a skill.

 

[auser]

Ouch, collision .Glad Kim is okay and skating well

YUNAAAAAA!!!!

Ever since I saw this 'She' program in a Japanese domestic competition, I loved it so much. The choreo is great and it suits Yuna so much.
And did she really choreographed this FP too!? I know she choreographed the SP, but not sure about the FP.

So glad she had a great skate at home. And she did bi-directions spin!

No, the SP was choreoed by herself, FS was by Misha.

judges should give her + goe for taking out signage while skating. that's multitasking at its best.

seriously, this is not USA small NHL rink... how did she manage to get so close to the boards ?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Skaters should do that more often if they can. I my memory Karen Chen's peacock program is still quite alive.

IMO skaters who have an interest in choreography tend to be the skaters who finish movements best. But if they’re not interested they won’t get better from trying without the desire if that makes sense

Ted commenting on "Je Suis Malade" in between coughing fits is making me feel things. Yelim breaking the boards on her opening combo was quite interesting, which is rarely something I would say about her skating.

Yuna self choreoed the SP, Misha Ge did the FP

dear god david wilson's choreography has really degraded . this is so skate-by-numbers.

 

[4everchan]

a capella je suis malade... + ice dance scores + chicken with tzatziki with lots of garlic... =

 

[RatedPG]

I actually think the boards woke her up!! She fought hard here!!

But, I’m a bit worried if the Koreans can keep their three spots at Worlds. They seem like 7-12 placed skaters this year

 

[YuBluByMe]

Hmm, I didn’t like that. Normally I like Kim Yelim, but just seemed tired and detached today.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

There were a couple of bobbles, but that was a really solid skate by Yelim. Well done! She's such a beautiful, classy skater. I love her Ina Bauer!! Her costume is really pretty too, but I feel like it would look better with two red sleeves.

 

[TT_Fin]

She seemed to be more worried about the board than herself. I think tt is a good sign, means she did not hurt herself.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Ted is malade, is it spreading?!

 

[tsuyoboogie]

No, the SP was choreoed by herself, FS was by Misha.

Sorry, didn't see your post
