How about bringing back the swan? That was my favourite program of hers. Or maybe even Notte Stellata (Yuzuru Hanyu's EX this season) would be amazing :yay:.

The Swan was a gorgeous SP. I think such a light and soft program would work together well with a very different, energetic, charismatic long program.

I want her to skate to something delicate and lyrical. After watching her more bold programs, I don't think it suits her as much as soft, light programs do.

1. Are there any updates about her condition? I checked her instagram and there isn't much yet. Does anyone know how she is doing right now?
2. Satoko Miyahara also had a short season and I see people saying she should keep her FS. Should So Youn do the same for her two programs? Or should she just go with new ones?

According to unofficial gossips on Korean forum, Soyoun is actually back on ice. She is working on her choreography for next season with Cindy Stewart... not sure whether it's SP or FS.

Soyoun said through her insta-live thing last time, that her fracture problem is now okay. But there was (also from Korean web) rumor abt a month ago that she was suffering ligament problem. I hope Soyoun is fine by now..

Another rumor:
Soyoun is not participating ATS. Not sure by now, but high possibility.

Oh plus:

Soyoun mentioned in her instaLive that she will be using some 'tool' for her next Ex.

So Youn is in Japan! https://www.instagram.com/p/BTgg5ZMlaR0/

Last season So Youn had to share her two GP events with 3 other skaters, which was unlucky...

BUT THIS SEASON SHE'S SHARING HER TWO GP EVENTS WITH 4 OTHER SKATERS...:curse::hopelessness:

(I know I already complained about this in the GP thread, but it just makes me so mad...)

 

[cathlen]

Well, I'm happy she has 2 assignments. She wasn't guranteed that, especially since she didn't compete in neither 4CC nor Worlds. Now I wish her to be all healthy!

Oh.... I liked her Golden Arm SP much more than FP last season so I can't say I'm all excited with this. But her Swan a couple of seasons back was excellent so I'm curious about her Black Swan.
By the way, is she injury free now? Do we know how she is doing?

She will be participating Olympic qualifying competition(1st among three) on this Saturday. The first official practice is on Thursday morning, so we will be known then...

SY's Practice for SP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prhM5gcRjpk

I noticed this in her FS practice too, but why is she suddenly relying on flips, which were her worst jump last year? Is it because of her injury or just changing consistency (the loop used to be her worst jump as well and now it's her goto)

 

[dhjh811]

Because of her injury, she is now having difficulty with the lutz and salchow.
So she needs the flip and loop.

She broke her left leg, so she's having difficulty with Salchow, unfortunately.

That is terrible to hear!! I am constantly telling people her Salchow is the best in the game :curse: ***** :curse:

 

[clippers8200]

Ahh that makes sense. Her injury has healed though and she's rehabilitating, right?

So Youn's SP from Oly's and JGP selections thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMM4GgPVI4s

Super happy for her! She might be able to get one of the two spots Da Bin has managed to secure

 

[leminent]

It's been officially mentioned through broadcast that Soyoun still has metal pins on her left leg...

 

[Warwick360]

That is terrible to hear!! I am constantly telling people her Salchow is the best in the game :curse: ***** :curse:

Same here. For me, her Triple salchow- Triple Toe (when she manages to do it) is an absolute dream.

Too bad she's having to replace it because of the injury.

I wasn't sure when I saw that Soyoun was doing Black Swan, in terms of whether she'd be able to meet the pacing or if she'd end up slower than the music like in the case of Dabin at Worlds with La La Land. But it actually looks better than I'd imagined. :agree:

Still hope her team slows down the earlier part of the SP. Her pacing really doesn't match the intensity of the earlier part of music. Maybe choosing something slower for the first half of the sequence might make the judges notice better the gracefulness of her arm movements. Well, at least one could dream, in regards to judges paying attention.
