She got 5th at COC with quite a decent score, 50+ SP and 90+ FS

Nadine, I don't think your favorite made it into the FS. Sorry! List of skating order is on p1 of this thread.

This next Chinese lady is nowhere near as talented as little Miss Bingwa.

Bingwa reminds me of Caroline Zhang in so many ways.

Yeah, I just checked. Taryn finished 28th in the short, missing the long by about 2 points total.

Zhu's spin ending in an I spin was pretty cool looking.

I think she's much better. No bad habits to overcome. She looks to have a strong foundation. Can't explain it as they share a coach. But mine is an inexpert opinion.

Thanks, Spun Silver, YIKES, I just noted that myself. :( Oh well, I will never forget her phenomenal SP to "Somewhere in Time", complete with antique lace, haunting choreography, and beautiful skating. I need for that to be on my favorites. If Taryn ever reads GS, I just want her to know she's simply exquisite...

I remember Mingzhu Li said Bingwa's problem was "control", which I can definitely see as she is pretty inconsistent.

The link that was posted earlier seems to start from the beginning of the competition every couple of skaters...
Maybe I'm watching the wrong channel?
Could someone post another link?

Are you on JustinTV? It's working for me, but not others.

**SkateFiguring** · 02-20-2011, 12:11 AM

Nadine, I noticed her too. Her beauty while spinning in that exquisite dress was dazing. Maybe she should be a Dancer and forget about jumping,

ETA: What does that mean exactly, lack of control? Skater is too fast for her own good?

Did you click on the "Watch Live" part at the top?

ETA: Junior Kim seems a bit over her head but she has some nice 'tude and I appreciate every skater who enters a donut spin w/o that ugly knee drop! I too liked the spin Ice Musings mentioned, the one I call the champagne glass.
