2022 NHK Trophy Women's Free Skate

[Lamente Ariane]

Yelim is so wonderful to watch... So soft in her skating,yet powerful. If someone harps on her for not making big facial expressions, I will tell them they should watch her skating and not her mouth..... gosh...

Yelim's Ina Bauer alone is everything one could ask for

Ted seems certain Kaori has this, but I feel like he's been wrong a lot lately...

Now he's saying Yelim might have it

Yelim's dress is one of my favorites of the season. Shame about the fall... Will she end up first? or second?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

"we" nothing, Ted, not all of us thought Kaori was ever untouchable?

 

[yesterday]

 

[Ichatdelune]

YES SHE HAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SnowWhite]

Yay Yelim! I was hoping she'd win

 

[YuBluByMe]

YES! She won! I’m glad! Plus it’s good for Sakamoto to lose here. Judges tend to act like they don’t got any home training when it comes to reputation judging. It’s healthy to know you can’t make mistakes and still win.

 

[Jeanie19]

Yelim won.

This competition wins the 1st price of surprised faces for a long time - I count only the ones I have watched.

Yelim did it!!! She defeated the World Champion at home in Japan!!

So I guess this means both Yelim and Kaori goes to GPF?

 

[midori green]

That rink announcer is my favorite. "SHE'S THE WINNER!!"

The women's free skate, at least the second half, was really enjoyable. It is late her. I will catch the Men and Dance on rerun so have a good night!

So now it's an hour break including ceremonies
have fun

Yes indeed!

This GP circuit has been wonderfully unpredictable for the ladies. Even if it comes with some heartbreak, it's far more enjoyable to watch than predetermined podiums.

surprised faces??? impossible... apparently nobody is emoting

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Congrats Yelim!
I adore Kaori's skating but I'm okay with both her and Yelim having a win and a 2nd each (28pts)
Makes going into Final more exciting

I'm so tired... but I want to see the man-eating mermaid program at least...
