Thank you everyone for the updates!!
Does anybody know of protocols are out somewhere?
I always love how Korean competition are judged, that's the proper way to do it. Judges and tech panel are there to tell skaters "This was ok, this you can do better, this was totally wrong, work on it!" and the only way to do it is scoring them according to the handbook, not the "feeling of the day". It may seem harsh, because we're too used to inflation everywhere, but this is actually how you build strong skaters. All my appreciation to Korean judges, really.
Anyways, back to the competition. I enjoyed some programs, I disliked others. It's still early in the season and there's room for adjustments for everyone. For now, Eunsoo seems to be the one who's more ready. She's already well into her programs and skates them with confidence. I am a bit underwhelmed with Young's free, for now it's a bit of a waste of her talent imo. On the other hand, she seems confident with her sp (despite today's mistake) which is good.
Sidenote: I've only watched Ye Lim, Eunsoo and Young's SP and I have to say those steps before 3Lz weren't that much evident.
As I said, there's room for improvement for everyone and hopefully the programs will grow better and better.
