Thanks, FTnoona, I've added the link you so generously provided to my FAVORITES. :)

Seriously, there are some people that never have to leave the ice, lol the same exact saying was said about Oksana Baiul by Scott Hamilton. And Taryn Jurgensen is one of those very special people

Btw, I screwed up, Jane Seymour's character is Elise McKenna (duh, Nadine, knocks self on head :biggrin: ), and Christopher Reeve plays Richard Collier. I have a special connection to that movie, which I choose to remain private, thus one of my pulls to it and its past. :)

oh my. This is taking a long time. I hope I can stay awake for the third group but I'm fading.

I remember seeing her skate and choreo some ex programs with Mirai during early morning freestyle sessions.

:) What a pleasure it must have been for you to see her skate. Myself, I love beautiful skating, actually I just love God's beauty in general, no matter whence it comes...

music: Todes

2L nice
2A nice
3S ur, fall
camel-sit-upright/layback variations OK
flying sit-pancake chgft
fw
layback versions
no combo? long entries, really telegraphs jumps. not a lot of transitions. needs to work on positions and extensions
looks like a competent skater, would like to see her with different music, this didn't seem to work very naturally for her
31.99 3rd place so far.

lovely lovely performance, dressed in sparkly white, a vision with her black hair pulled back into a bun, lots of expression not only in body but also face!!!! :thumbsup:

And her 3L/2T was FAB!

Too bad she only did a 2F, and her 2A was ok, not her best, but everything else wonderful, loved the outside spiral, nice fw, etc. Should get a good score imho. :)

The Chinese girl was wonderful as well, can't believe there have been 3 lovely performances thus far that have left me with joy! :)

Reincarnation of Oksana Baiul on ice imho, swan on ice...

Chae-Hwa Kim (KOR)

Piano Fantasy

(for piano this music sounds awfully like strings to me)
(aborted 3T?)
3S-2T good
camel-sit-chft Y
fw
spread eagle into nice 2A
more fw
flying camel, a little wild then slow, catch foot, ugh position

very mature and lady-like style, is older (20's) not a teenybopper. Maybe limited upside potential at this point but pleasant to watch

For the latest lady that skated I would tell her not to look so glum, she did very well, especially enjoyed her spiral into 2A, smile!!!!! :) :) :)

WOW, powerful performance from PUERTO RICO!!! :cool:

Something totally different, unique, would looooove to see Agnes Zawadzki tackle this powerful gorgeous number, including choreography, music, costume, et al. This piece was made for a power skater!

And I loooved the upright Bauer into 2A, too bad about the fall on 3F, and the unsteady 3R, but good performance. :)

ina bauer into 2A, powerful
3F fall missed combo
spread eagle
3L hand touch but held on
flying camel, catchfoot good
camel-sit combo
fw looks a little labored or forced
layback

interesting skater, interesting look and style, athletic. Age 22 so probably not too much time left to get consistent on the big jumps. Pretty good spinner.
35.45 3rd (higher than I expected)

ETA: Does anybody know if this skater has competed in the US in qualifying competitions? I would think she's good enough to at least get through Regionals?
