Oh my :hopelessness:

I'm not sure the wisdom of doing this music. It is so iconic and is still the world record.

It's a different cut.

I would say the opposite. If skater place 4th at the Europeans, there are just Russian ahead. But at worlds, there are great skaters from Japan, USA(well, not this time), there is Zijun Li, many others...

Even with the problems Ashley and Gracie had in the SP, they still placed ahead of Joshi, so yes, Americans are head, even this time.

Will korea be able to keep 2 spots?

 

[kresslia]

Will korea be able to keep 2 spots?

Certainly isn't looking likely..

 

[StitchMonkey]

I think they need to start a rule, any songs used more than once at the world championships are banned from ISU competitions for one year. Maybe an exception for already skated programs, but not new ones till all others die for a year.

 

[Ophelia]

Yikes. Are they going to have to drag Yuna Kim out of retirement?

 

[mirai4life]

its ok. The new wave of korean junior girls are amazing.

There is so much music in the world I never understand why people always skate to the same 20 pieces. I mean look at JF SD. It had the crowd eating out of his hand and a big part of that was the music choice. Lots and lots of dirgy music does not make you stand out.

I think it was a poor idea. Maybe it inspires her but the sublime memories are too fresh.

Really? Do you have videos?

 

[blue_idealist]

I realize. I would just think that people who were 4 and 5 in Europe would place better at worlds. Doesn't make sense to me that you can do well at Europeans and then not a worlds.

It seems the Helgesson sisters are pretty inconsistent. I think Viktoria was something like 24th at the Olympics, even after being in the top 10 at Worlds in 2010? or 2011?

 

[ruffledgrouse]

its ok. The new wave of korean junior girls are amazing.

But will they survive puberty?

 

[Seren]

It's a different cut.

I know, but I still hear this concerto and think of Yuna's program.

Short Dance?

HJ.... At least it wasn't as bad as this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYFlq8bSKJk I did think she was nervous....

So Youn would need to move up to 12th or better. Not impossible, but not sure how likely

Some of the younger korean skaters are really good

 

[Krunchii]

Overhead shots of Biellmans are just a bad idea
