but i never heard of her being a great student or anything.
and if you haven't heard anything you do not have to believe she is a great student.

but i never heard of her being a great student or anything.
Kimmie did say she plans to attend The Univ. of Delaware in the Fall.
I dont know... Yu-Na Kim didn't need it to beat Mao at the Junior Worlds or GPF.
Even though Yu-na says she won't practice 3A for now unless she feel she really needs it, I actually feel that it would be wonderful if Yu-Na practices it. Right now, she has very fast rotation and seems to have a great potential to get it. But when she gains more weigh as her body matures, it may become somewhat more difficult to master a newer jump. But perhaps, she herself and her coaches would certainly know much better what she needs to win. Just a random thought of a fan
Not only is Kimmie planning on going to UDel part time in the fall, she is, IIRC, planning on majoring inphysical therapy. Regardless of what you may or may not have heard about her capacities as a student, PT programs are intense, and admission is very restricted. I'm guessing that she is just as dedicated and determined when it comes to school as she is in skating and in her devotion to her Cool Kids campaign.

Kim can't do a 3A.
Her rotation speed is rather slow compared to Mao or Ando.
That's why she needs that height and distance to make three revolutions,
and for the same reason, she is poor at edge jumps which are difficult to gain height and distance. I'm pretty sure a skater who can't do 3loop will be never able to master a 3A.
The Solo Triple Loop is a tough jump!!! and the base value should be increased. I am no longer impressed with 2-1/4 loop jumps in combination.Steven Cousins struggled with both triple axel and triple loop but by the end of his career he'd ditched the triple loop and was managing to hit one of his two planed triple axels.

"The whole package is the whole package."Getting back to the topic of "whole package" and how the concept might change... I think that whole package /is/ whole package. A complete skater will be a complete skater no matter what the system - although it might certainly take time to adjust to the new one.
There's nothing original in Figure Skating, RD. And you are right it's all about adding an extra air turn, or getting a leg up higher. Even officially, a bonus score has never been given because there really isn't anything new.but this new system is all about adding the parts, lol. Not sure how you could turn that around without introducing even more subjectivity into the scoring. It remains that different people like different kinds of performances.
I see your point Joe, but you know me.... that is just not a entirely true comment in it's self IMO. The uniqueness comes from the forum in which the other "non-original" elements are "borrowed" and applied. Once applied they are origanal as any other sport, for it's use in a particular forum that it has not been applied prior make the use original.There's nothing original in Figure Skating,
:agree: so why don't they try and eliminate subjectivity and personal preference from the "intent" of scoring? It will be a factor of course, but is there a need to perpetuate "preference" in scoring? Or is it something it could just do with out?but this new system is all about adding the parts, lol.

Any Dance Technical is very much like figure skating. Nothing much to speak about original dance moves. However, Choreography plays a huge roll in dance, and, of course, the dancers who act out this creativity is relevant.Maybe the elements themselves is not the original factor, I agree, but once the application in a new format has been made, originality.
Very clarifying post Joe, Thanks!Any .... it.
Does that mean Kimmie is not to blame for any comments of "lack of connection?" Needs to work on artistry?The choreography is the thing to make it look artsy - not the skater, imo.
I don't know for I "got no Kimmie" last night. During practice there was the comment, "remember Kimmie is gone now," (I think it was Brian) and my heart sunk a little.Be that as it may for me, I do believe Kimmie has got to learn to present herself to the public, and I hope she's getting it from COI.
I personally like Kimmie even more for not being showy, not showing off "how pretty I am." She has very fresh, healthy charm, which I like a lot
