Oh lord! Enough with the pointed toes already. Hae Jin KIM skated beautifully and if there is such a thing as a YuNa Kim school of skating then she is a top student of it. THAT is not a bad thing.
So happy for Li and I hope now she gets included in the conversations now. I'm exhausted talking about Ashley, Gracie and Katlyn. Li is at least in their company. She just needs to do more of the same in the Free which she has proved she can.
As for Mirai, she has the tools and I hope she is mindful that Americans love stories of rehabilitation and redemption. Hang in there Mirai and you may yet one day be celebrated.
I find Park So-Youn to be more similar in the sense that whilst Kim Hae-Jin has a fire and charisma that is similar to Yu-Na, she doesn't have the lyrical, gentle side of Yu-Na's skating down. Park has both, something that I find to be one of Yu-Na's greatest qualities; versatility. Also if there's something a skater is doing that bugs me, I'm going to point it out. I don't get annoyed when people point out Li Zijun's lack of power. Or Mao's flutz, it's a flaw. People are going to notice it and critique it, otherwise we might as well give all skaters 10s because of the other great qualities they have, ignoring the flaws.
