Qiuying Zhu (CHN)

another white dress! (must have been an international sale on white stretchy fabric this yr)

3F-2T doublefooted first jump
3T ur? also dbleft
layback with variations
2A fall
fw, seems slow
camel-sit-chft-Y spins
flying camel

one of the more balletic of the Chinese ladies, flawed performance but has promise
35.08 3rd.

**Nadine** · 02-19-2011, 02:17 AM

The Chinese girl was wonderful as well, can't believe there have been 3 lovely performances thus far that have left me with joy!

Chae-Hwa Kim (KOR)

Piano Fantasy

(for piano this music sounds awfully like strings to me)
(aborted 3T?)
3S-2T good
camel-sit-chft Y
fw
spread eagle into nice 2A
more fw
flying camel, a little wild then slow, catch foot, ugh position
layback variations

very mature and lady-like style, is older (20's) not a teenybopper. Maybe limited upside potential at this point but pleasant to watch
33.76 4th

**Nadine** · 02-19-2011, 02:23 AM

For the latest lady that skated I would tell her not to look so glum, she did very well, especially enjoyed her spiral into 2A, smile!!!!!

**Nadine** · 02-19-2011, 02:29 AM

WOW, powerful performance from PUERTO RICO!!!

Something totally different, unique, would looooove to see Agnes Zawadzki tackle this powerful gorgeous number, including choreography, music, costume, et al. This piece was made for a power skater!

And I loooved the upright Bauer into 2A, too bad about the fall on 3F, and the unsteady 3R, but good performance.

Victoria Muniz (PUR)

ina bauer into 2A, powerful
3F fall missed combo
spread eagle
3L hand touch but held on
flying camel, catchfoot good
camel-sit combo
fw looks a little labored or forced
layback

interesting skater, interesting look and style, athletic. Age 22 so probably not too much time left to get consistent on the big jumps. Pretty good spinner.
35.45 3rd (higher than I expected)

ETA: Does anybody know if this skater has competed in the US in qualifying competitions? I would think she's good enough to at least get through Regionals?
