Ladies' SP

[aurora100]

yes i noticed that too. but i'm not a judge so my eyes are not that sharp Why is yuna called diana?

Is Yuna being called Diana because Brian Orser said Yuna Kim's celebrity is like Lady Diana in Korea?

So so so proud of you Joannie.

over 70 for a SP with 3-2 :think: GOEs seems really huge! Bravo for skating a clean SP under such circumtances :thumbsup:

judging from the scores of joannie and yuna, i think mao's scores should have been higher ... ... just my opinion

I don't know what it says about South Korea that their most famous and revered person is a figure skater. Geesh. That is not a slam against Yu Na.

yeah, well this is not as true as it is portrayed in some of these figure skating event promos. they are doing that to hype up the excitement of the event for the american viewers i think, especially since there isn't a big american star skater right now.

yuna is a pretty big star, but within the realm of "sports". she is definitely not THE BIGGEST star/celebrity figure there.

kinda like how tiger woods was (before his recent fall from grace!). he is a huge star in golf, and most people who don't know much about golf at least know who he is, and he has all these endorsements and makes a lot of money etc etc. he is definitely a well-known big star in general, but he is not the "biggest star" in the states. but of course some people who love golf think he is the greatest thing and he carries a lot of respect and expectations when he plays...

Joannie did such a beautiful job.

so overscored

No. It was a clean, strong skate and her placement is deserved.

 

[boritalee]

Her coach told the media Yu Na Kim is like Diana and she's more graceful than ... Go figure.

Brian only said that when traveling with Yuna in Korea, its like traveling with Princess Di since se gets so much press and attention

Ok NO jinxes!!!!

lmao Young Rachael!

I know, soooooooo adorable! Pretty good spiral for a 3 year old, haha.

Go Rachael! Go for the 3-3! Most of all, just have fun and put your personality and spirit into it.

Granny's 10th! Mirai just 3 skaters away from punching her ticket to the Final Flight.

 

[screech]

Congrats to both Yuna and Mao for clean performances as well, and I don't think Yuna's 3-3 was UR....

It wasn't fully backwards but it was less than 1/4 u/r, so considered clean. Mao's triple flip was the same - not backwards but not 1/4. So anyone (to me) that is blasting Kim's combo needs to take a look at Mao's triple flip as well.

Had to know the disgusting trolls would come out - hybfc - please go where you are welcome as you certainly aren't welcome in this thread with your disgusting comments.

Well, if the judges want to prop up somebody, I'd rather them to prop up Joannie.

 

[R.D.]

Come on guys, NOTHING is a done deal at this point.

 

[nghtvsn]

RAchel is looking especially nice today. Nice hair too.

 

[Layfan]

Mirai in top 10!! Even better than that. whew.

 

[Chemistry66]

Whoa, little wobble on that landing there. Almost thought she was going to lose it.

 

[screech]

Gah I hate the 'mule kick' into her 3f? I love the colour of her dress. Perfect for her.

 

[essence_of_soy]

Can someone tell me where that IGNORE button is? I can't find it ...

I wish there were an eject button sometimes! That hater is getting on my laid back aussie nerves.

 

[ARipp42014]

Reliable Rachael had a wonky landing!
