I love this program (although that could be my love for The Planets talking), but I think it works best when Mai is clean. It exudes her natural joy, but here she seemed a little more focused on the jumps. It's such a shame about the pops, but I am happy to see her returning back to pre-injury form. I selfishly hope she keeps her programs for next season so we can see them at their full potential.

I mean about what I was expecting jump wise. But, really she is a lovely performer.

 

[elektra blue]

nice to see her back from her health problems

Gorgeous skate. But the pops ruin the score.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Well the best is in front of us at least

 

[lileychristie]

Ahh Mai, too many costly pops but that spiral & her expressions in the choreo sequence were just

Love her happy energy always!

 

[DancingCactus]

I can't stand the circus music in the first half of the program but that choreo sequence was just lovely. Great spiral.

 

[anonymoose_au]

D'aww the stuffie in her own image, how cute!

 

[hermine17]

I hope Mai keeps this program next year.

 

[cohkaix]

Kind of wish it was Lori who choreographed this for Mai but not Wilson (giving it a bit of Mao A. vib will do...)

 

[lileychristie]

Go Chaeyeon!! I betted on you for my prediction, please don't disappoint

 

[EdgeCall]

I can't stand the circus music in the first half of the program but that choreo sequence was just lovely. Great spiral.

This isn't "circus music" but a part of The Planets by Gustav Holst, one of the most famous compositions in classical music history.

 

[elektra blue]

this is one of my favourite dress of the season

 

[readernick]

Chaeyeon's SP is amazing, This program doesn't play to her strengths. Still, I like her.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

She was doing so well until that final 3S
I think that 3S will drop her below Rinka.

oh poor Chaeyeon looked so nervous at the start of her program, but she did so well keeping it together! Most of the jumps were really fantastic, but she is definitely still working on the junior to senior transition. The step sequence proves that the can perform and emote, and I'm sure she will continue to hone and refine her skills, but for now she is definitely a bit behind in terms of PCS scores compared to the other skaters in this flight. Such a shame about the sal fall, everything else was so clean.
