2024 Cup of China Women's Free Skate

Poor girl, she was clearly distressed.

Minchae started out really strong; the second fall on the flip made me wince when she slid into the boards. She managed to get back into the programme during the step sequence, and that Ina Bauer was lovely, with the added arm beats. A difficult skate, definitely not a pleasant score to receive, but she handles the disappointment with great composure.

Oh dear... are we ready? Everything can happen now

I'm ofren telling I'm ready and I'm never truly ready...

Let’s go Japan! Fighto!

 

[TallyT]

Anyone else now have six girls they want to win?

 

[readernick]

I love Rion's dress. I don't love her program. (in fact that is a bit of a theme here.. I think I only like Chaeyeon's FS in this group). I'm rooting for Amber and Chaeyeon... not rooting against anyone else just rooting for them.

all 6 girls mean business

Come on Kimmy, I believe in you

The second group will have a heated competition because the score difference is small.

KIM Minchae (KOR)

That was heartbreaking to watch.

She has problems with her right leg no? Big purple circle on her is hurting her a lot

Yes, that was a massive nasty looking bruise.

When they showed the replays, it wasn't there at the start of the programme. I am nearly sure that she got it the time she fell next to the boards, and her left leg came down hard onto her right leg.

Obviously, she is bitterly upset sitting there afterwards.

She goes into 6th and last in the FS, and 5th overall.

Minchae, you are a very talented skater. It didn't go your way today. But I'm sure it will the next time.

Right, I'm getting cold sitting around in my pyjamas and dressing gown. So, I am going to pause the stream now that I have reached the Group 2 Warm-Up, and get ready now. And then play catch-up. Hopefully I'll be caught up for the cacti.

All the best to those still to skate

Kimmy that's an.... interesting dress.

Burn it.

 

[Karoltyna]

I'm normally indifferent to Kimmy, but not this time, this was something

 

[EdgeCall]

Well done Kimmy! Marcus Aurelius would approve.

 

[elektra blue]

she's performed this better other times, but she fought well. well done Kimmy, the emperor says thumbs up for you

 

[Sabsi]

Alright, I’ve got to head off to the family celebration… And I don’t think I’ll be able to convince anyone there to set up a figure skating projector show

 

[norwegianfairytale]

She did well, not every jump landing was perfect but she really fought for every element. Well done

 

[H.Y.]

Good skate.Kimmy.

 

[readernick]

I definitely prefer Kimmy's SP and I think she has managed to improve the height of her triples in the SP, but not really the end of the LP. She has a lot of very nice qualities and will easily lead now. I imagine she will get some URs. Her SS have really improved.
