I watched the programs of the two on Youtube and began to see some diffeences.
Please Note: This thread has nothing to do with Triples or how high the spirals are
Kimmie's SP was very lyrical and much improved over Skate America. It seemed to me that she is beginning to feel the music Her stroking is second to none and now her arms are also flowing naturally.
YuNa's SP included the usual Spanish poses and arms but to me, she looked uncomfortable with the Spanish-like style. She is more inclined to be lyrical, and I do not see her as being very versatile at the moment.
Kimmie's LP was quite amazing for me since I did not expect her to be capable of combining the lyrical and the up-tempo in the same program and make it look good. I believe she is now collaborating with Lori Nichol and not just taking directions. Her arms are hers and not Lori's.
YuNa's LP lacked any sort of up-beat tempo but carried a background of lyrical music throughout. She did it nicely and followed the directions of her choreographer as to how to use her arms. I believe once she becomes aware of all sorts of tempos in music, she will be a real force in figure skating.
