Can someone tell me, how Young You's name is pronounced correctly?

It's pronounced exactly as it's written. I prefer to spell her last name yoo instead of you, though. But that doesn't have anything to do with how it's pronounced, just a personal preference.

I also think Eun-Soo LIM's jumps are the best among the youngsters, and her movements are also sharper, which I really enjoy.

I feel the depth of junior Korean ladies is even deeper than Japanese junior ladies, and definitely deeper than US young ladies.
A significant difference between Korean and Japanese young ladies is that Korean young ladies's jumps do not rely on super fast rotation with little height.

7 or 8 skaters did 3Lz-3T in their programs.
I could clearly see Yu-Na influences from that :)
And Eun-Soo Lim's jumping technique is very Yuna-esque.
Also Ye-Lim Kim. That 3Lz-3Lo-2Lo and 3Lz-3T in one program! Just wow.

Hm... Im probably in the minority, but I prefer you's in-betweens. It seems more seamless to me... :slink:
It might just be the programs, though. I think the choreography and idea for you's lp was great while I'm just not a fan of The Artist. Personal preference, obviously(and I'm far from an expert), and certainly not taking away anything from these skaters. Eunsoo has a great Lutz and axel, but I prefer young's flip. Other jumps are pretty similar, no particular preference on the loop, sal, or toe. Particularly impressed with the transitions in and out of you's jumps. Just want to give a shout out to ye lim in particular- she's amazingly improved from the previous season. I really like her jump technique now, I can't believe how good her 3lz-3lo-2lo(?) is. I love how much more relaxed her upper body is now.
Sorry for the long rant, but I love all three girls and their different strengths and styles. :)

Ugh, wish I didn't understand korean for once. The commentary is so lacking. The b.esp. commentators(was it Chris howarth?) did emphasize the importance of doing research in good commentary, didn't they? Idk how they didnt pick up on the fact that he was sick even in the k&c. Anyways, thank you for the high quality videos. :)

Urrrgh... that was tough to watch. By the last spin it looked as if he was going to pass out and he was definitely moaning from pain in the Kiss and Cry. Hope nothing is serious and wish him a speedy recovery! I'm really looking forward to seeing him on the podium next year in Taipei.

ETA: A big thanks to Hailey for such an impressive coverage of the event!
