OK I'm just going to keep talking to myself until I get tired of watching the program (probably never). Again for reference I'm just going to start at 2:54 (YT video) because I can feel the program from that point on.
First, I think the 3+2 misses the music because of the bonus. She does it right at 2:30 to pick up the bonus (if this is wrong, please correct me), but the music feels like the timing of the jump should be sooner. I'm not sure how they can fix that. But I feel like when the music really picks up into her signature layback ina bauer into 3+2+2, that's the tentpole of the entire program, the best part. It can't be rushed, and the program really needs to build and feel cohesive towards that moment.
And dang, I wish she would do the arm aloft like in Gershwin, I always loved that move.
Moving on, I like when Yuna turns around and quickly puts her arm in the air. Looks like fierce tango here, but afterward she loses the program for a few seconds and does nothing. She looks really tired for a moment. I think she could engage the program better from there until she starts the lead in to her next jump.
Her poses around 3:40 look good, she can probably do better here too, but that will come in the Olympics.
Someone like Blades can better critique her layback, but I'd like to see it faster, with acceleration, given the music at this part.
Ahhhh -- that dreaded spiral when the music goes dead. I don't like this part.
I think in the last choreo sequence, after she puts her leg in the air, she should come out of it and continue with another spin or twizzle or two before going into her final 2A.
I know it would be more difficult but I think would work better.
That's all I've got!
