2025 Grand Prix of France Women's Free Skate

Phew, Chaeyeon is lucky if they do not count the stumble for a jump slot. Great skate otherwise.

 

[4everchan]

looks like she did add the 2a out of nowhere to get that 7th pass.

 

[lariko]

seems like the TP didn't count her set up as a pop... so will she think about adding a 7th pass.

I wonder why. Usually they do.

Chaeyeon has improved so much as a performer, and she does a really good job maintaining flow throughout some of her jumps (not so much on the combos but that's okay). This was a huge comeback for her after disaster at Nepela. She added in a YOLO 2A at the end, which was crazy smart and impressive.

I was screaming at the screan "ADD A JUMP LOVE PLEASE" and she did, I don't know what the TP will make of it but oh lord I need to empty my pave chocolate

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Seems like she added enough elements? But the technical panel could easily have called it a 0loop in the system

 

[4everchan]

I died at the Lo for real

glad you are still with us...

 

[Jeanie19]

Chaeyeon. Beautiful dress and a lovely program. A really good skate.

 

[Karoltyna]

And I'm off to Katowice

 

[Isk]

Chaeyeon gained power and maturity compared to previous years, and she is the most expressive and mindful of music among the Korean women.

 

[bartlebooth]

Very clever and cool headed! Brava!

 

[readernick]

I like Chaeyeon's program a lot and this white dress is a lot better. A stricter panel might call some qs but I don't think this panel seems that strict.

 

[4everchan]

I was screaming at the screan "ADD A JUMP LOVE PLEASE" and she did, I don't know what the TP will make of it but oh lord I need to empty my pave chocolate

worst case scenario they won't count it.

 

[flanker]

Chaeyeon Kim started with stumble/aborted jump, but dealt with it well.

 

[Paulipau]

She didn't Kayak, no?

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

I was literally on the edge of my seat just hoping she would add a jump in and THANK GOD she did!!! A nerve-wracking watch but love the program.

 

[4everchan]

But how would she know!!

Also I agree with the panel since it wasn’t even clear what jump she was doing.

telepathy
she added a 2a

 

[YuBluByMe]

Kim Chaeyeon went clean! I like this program for her. The best she’s skated so far this season.

 

[cocteautwin]

I'm impressed how Chaeyeon was able to put her stuff together since challenger, she looks way more like herself now.
Same goes with Elyce.
