2021-22 South Korean Figure Skating

[readernick]

Seoyeon and Ahsun are such great jumpers. It is a pity they weren't at their best here.

Performance wise though, I really enjoy Chaeyeon. I think she really likes the performance aspects of skating. Her jumps aren't perfect ( unlike Ahsun and Seoyeon) and the freeskate can definitely improve but she has grit. I'm a fan.

Coach Hong Yeseul revealed why Yeonjeong didn't take part in JGP selections, she had boot issues plus injuries due to said issues Coach Hong says they got her new boots and she's back on the ice now, hopefully the boots are settled when US Classic starts

No, Kyueun had the will to continue after she split with Alex/Kangchan, but her new partner abandoned her while she was preparing for the new season because he had tried out with another skater and chose to form that partnership instead. Kyueun, understandably, retired after that great shock and disappointment. I will forever be enemies with Maxime Duchamps because of this

Haien Lee is doing Homage to Korea

And Eunsoo is doing El Tango de Roxanne too :')

I'm so happy Eunsoo is keeping her East of Eden FS. It's gorgeous.

It won't have lyrics for her Roxanne, I expect

They're all doing Yuna tributes I love them.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Both my darlings and my not-so-little phoenix paying tributes to the Queen, I weep. But please darling squirtle of mine tell me you're using the version of Roxanne the Queen used, i.e. without vocals...

Listening to “Fate of the Clockmaker” now, I like it! Good choice Junhwan

 

[Weathergal]

I've really missed Junhwan's bright personality on the ice and his skating.

I like it without lyrics *hides*

Korean ladies SP practices at Autumn Classic:

Siwon Lee (I like this program, little slow when going into jumps, but outside of combo, other jumps looked nice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd6nJTBTLKY&ab_channel=AlbinaFigureskating

Seoyeon Ji (clean and full run-through!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJM74VLiNr0&&ab_channel=AlbinaFigureskating

You Young (fall and > or >> on 3A, but the rest was clean as whistle) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJM74VLiNr0&&ab_channel=AlbinaFigureskating

I am happy for Young, I hope she stays on the path of recovering her form. I like the SP, the LP could use some tweaking. I hope the team is her and Haien, as gutted I'll be for Eunsoo.

I've really missed Junhwan's bright personality on the ice and his skating.

Although his interpretation of dark pastorale this year was very special, one of my favourite programmes.

 

[breadstal]

I'm crying. So happy to see her back

I’m a bit sad. The score was so low…
Young has a very big athletic talent. She could do so much more with what she has. Really nice height and distance on her 3A. I really wish she finds a right coaching environment to maximize her achievements. No one’s career is infinite, and I’m afraid that with inconsistent coaching environment she’s wasting time of her peak physical abilities.

I dislike Tammy Gambill's coaching, haha. (I also disagree with the calls given to her on some jumps, but anyway, it's an irrelevant warm up competition, where she got some WS points (I think?). Moving on.)
