Btw how can Korea keep those 2 spots?

Top 10, Or both skaters finishing a combined 28,

So considering Kim didn't take advantage of the opportunity and is last,

Park needs top 10 or Kim is bye bye for next year

Park has received great vehicles to build reputation

Yuna gave her Olympic experience

And S. Korea are giving her 4CC at home at a pivotal time,

If she takes advantage there like she did here she'll be on the rise

GET HER SOME ORSER ! :laugh:

Poor Orser can´t take them all.:laugh: 3 male students and 3 female students...is what I think is his current class.

Have a question about that free leg. In korea at least, the whole "pointed toe" thing doesn't seem to be emphasized. Is it something that is one of the requirements of a layback, or has it just been unofficially decided that its more aesthetically pleasing that way?
Not just in Korea, look at Julia's for example, no one care to do the textbook layback anymore. It takes time and more effort to perfect the leg, not to mention how more difficult to find the balance. Gracie's layback is good though.

Haha can't be! Yuna has bad spirals and layback free leg position as well. So Youn is cuter though. :p

Not enough points for some skaters to worry/care about fixing. Jumps, afterall, are the most important point grabber. It's not just Koreans either.

With a good speed and centering a skater can still get big points on their spins even without pointed toes...and spiral now is worth so little point that it is a complete after thought.

The whole pointed toe business is really overhyped by Dick Button gushing over Sasha Cohen even though it never really made a big difference unless the skater is skating to classical balletic music.

Mixed skate: solid start, but it kinda fell apart later. She still performed throughout, and fistpumps after the skate.

FS: 43.15+47.88-2.00 = 89.03, 143.22, in 6th (out of 9)

Disasterous FS for my favourite "Swiss"-Russkie! :cry: :cry: :cry:

But, as Simon said, if you ignore the mistakes, it was still enjoyable ;)

I really hope she lives up to the potential she clearly has!

Anna had a really well choreographed, musical program. The Eurosport guys are right--even with the mistakes that was enjoyable to watch.

If Yuna shows up as a coach for Park would her PCS skyrocket. Me thinks yes!!
