Eliska BREZINOVA (CZE): last skater in this group
___ and Memoirs of Geisha

Some jumps were quite high and clean, but doubled some and hands-down on one.
3Lz2T (very high, tano on 2T)
3L --> 1L w/ hands-down
Double most, if not all, jumps after half-mark.
She looks tired, maybe lack of stamina.

TES 39.26 + PCS 44.16 = 83.42 ==> 120.82 (4th)

Final group is warming up on the ice now.

2X+3T (?)
spin (slow in parts)
3Lz? (hands down)

She doesn't seem to have a lot of energy. She seems in amazing shape but maybe doesn't have enough stamina for the whole program.

Yuna KIM (KOR)
Adios Nonino, black dress with beads in front

She seems nervous.

3Lz3T (fall on 3Lz, didn't do 3T; strangely I thought she'd fall and she did...)
3F
3S+2T (a bit wide swing on 2T landing)
spin
missed 3Lz somewhere
stsq
3Lz2T
ina bauder to 2X2T
3S (not as secure landing ...)
spin
chsq
2X
spin

She seems somewhat sheepish, maybe at her mistakes. She does look tired. Like Ando, maybe she also needs to build up more stamina. She got lower levels on step sequence and maybe spins.

TES 60.60 + PCS 71.52 - 1 = 131.12 ==> 204.49 (1st)

I lost wireless internet connection just when Kim got to K&C...

Her first jump combo was 3T2T2L.

TES 29.38 + PCS 41.68 - 2 = 69.06 ==> 113.10 (9th)

Have yet to see it but that's a considerably higher FS score than Nebelhorn (48.07 TES, 55.00 PCS).

I have gained a tremendous respect for forumites who have provided pbps. I could not enjoy anybody's skates while trying to note something from their skates. I was too busy and stressed out I didn't read others' request for the link address. Sorry.

I dont like this version of adios nonino yunas using.. theres so many great version of that and she goes for this, the dress is also a little to plain... there was nothing new in the choregraphy, just looked like another same old yuna program. And her layback kinda reks... what happened there back in 2009 her layback was amazing. I feel like her prime time is over, not impressed by this performance and def reputation overscoring. I dont think its going to be such a huge gap between yuna and mao like it was in vancouver, mao might beat her...

I don't like Yuna's LP music. It's not suited for her skating style.

that was really uninspiring skate and she was slow with slow spins and not her usual secure jumps

heh, to me, this LP was fantastic. Just beautiful. Met all my expectations as Yuna's final Olympic program. There are 3 or 4 real signature moments, and I wish there were other camera angles to capture them. Despite the opening fall, Yuna skated with a lot of emotion. Just need to refine / perfect this for the next 2 months.

Yuna was INJURED you know, which is still clearly evident. Those who thought Yuna faked her injury just to skip GP should really be ashamed.
