I think soyoun did alright today.
I guess Shanghai ice is cursed. :disapp:
From my prepared expectations, I agree but I still have lingering feelings on what could've been. hwell: I am wondering why Coach Jung has decided to let her use 3F instead of 3Lz. :think: To be blunt, yes both of those jumps aren't her forte but I do see a relatively higher consistency with her 3Lz than the flip.
As for the 3F, I think she went for that because there's less of a pause between the jumps and steps, so she won't get minus GOE. Her lutz takes a long time to set up, so there was usually a long pause between the jump and the steps.
They would give minus GOE for a long entry? Some of Liza's entries can be super long, but that doesn't give her a low GOE. Same with Ashley.
The jump quality of Liza's such as the height, flow, and exiting form, outweigh the negativity of the long entry. SOOOO I'm rather okay with Liza. On the other hand, I do agree with you on the GOE ***-ness for Ashley's jumps sometimes. But she did get penalized for her mistakes here on the SP event.
I don't think there's really much flow in Liza's jumps, personally... but anyways, the size, secure landings, and overall quality make up for the entrances (which leave a lot to be desired).
Well isn't the FS event interesting...
Soyoun manages to be in the Top 12
this year's Worlds is quite reminescent of last year's
de ja vu?
I would have had So Youn at least 10th. Ugh.
Does this mean Korea still has 2 spots for next year? That's good!
Not so sure anymore since France does have Laurine Lecavaliere on their roster.
What about China? Zijun was the only one to go to 4CC this year so do they not have another eligible skater?
It's crazy how So Youn actually did better here than 4CC yet she receives lower scores. Her TES should have been at least 58 and her PCS should have at least beaten Alaine and Anna's PCS in the FS. I think it should be around the PCS that Polina got.
