Even though I think You gets nervous i don't think it's mental - she needs technical help and Tom couldn't do anything for Mirai - I really hope she goes to someone else - for her sake

A couple of errors, but not a bad job.

Gabriella has such expressive arms - an underrated quality in my opinion.

 

[leoleo]

she was doing so well

Alexandra...

If Young is struggling. It’s because Korea hyped her as the next Yuna Kim at age 11. It’s only natural that a kid that was super talented early starts to wilt because she suddenly has to meet all these unrealistic expectations. It’s happened so many times to so many skaters that I feel like screaming everytime it happens again.

I imagine when Yelim got her silver with her massive FS score, she was feeling pressured to be just as good. She needs to be allowed to develop on her own pace.

I would believe that if I'm not seeing such obvious technical problems with You's skating - she was bent almost horizontally in the air on 2 of her jumping passes and always has multiple UR's in a program - that's someone who doesn't have their ish together technically - I think overall You is mentally strong. Tammy and Tom - both of whom have students with notorious UR's (Mirai and Karen) is possibly the worst set of coaches you could have for a skater who has that problem. She needs to leave now and not later - I'm still confused as to why that relationship fell apart in Canada with her and TCC.

Getting closer!

 

[invisiblespiral]

I kind of want to hug everyone...

As far as I know, training at TCC was too much of a financial strain for her family. I'm still sad about that...

Didn't KSU send YY and YL to Colorado? Maybe they could fund her?

 

[Ichatdelune]

It's 10:22 a.m. here, and I want a beer. How is that Eunsoo is the only Korean skater that went clean...

 

[leoleo]

go Anna!

KSU is still under investigation, the whole place is a mess.

It makes me sad that finances hold a skater back from advancing - there has to be someone else in the US that hopefully they could afford - like Bradie's coach maybe

Oh gosh crunch time! Anna S is on and skating really well!

I like her drama arms!

Also Rion from Japan is on the podium!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Anna!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Quad lutz attempted, I'm very much impressed.
