Good skate w/ 6 triples, though bit weird knee-bend before take-off. Still need a lot of work on expression, as she's quite boring to watch

WOW!!! Little Choi has some amazing jumps!

 

[demarinis5]

Great skate for her!

 

[RaylHaze]

her jumps looked secured though

just need more polishing on the presentation

 

[Mirunna]

WOW!!! Little Choi has some amazing jumps!

And she has some personality of her own, not trying to be another Yuna, which is great. Loved her

She claps, a very strong skate with 7 triples though she had to slightly fight for some of the landings, and she stalks the 2A. Should be enough to medal.

FS: 62.98+54.40 = 117.38 (PB), 182.13 (PB), in 1st (out of 18)

 

[demarinis5]

Serafima fought for that program, good for he. Should go into first place. Loved it!

 

[Mirunna]

Serafima's 2A is simply scary I almost have to close my eyes when she takes off. Other than that, she is quite entertaining and her skating is very pleasant.
Now go Elena!!
