2013 Junior Worlds Ladies SP

[FSGMT]

Beautiful program from hae-jin, but why did she attempt the 3Lz+2T, she was landing 3T+3T in the JGP and the BV is 0.9 higher!! Yes, a top3 could be possible if her PCS is as high as 23 at least...

Oh, no 49? She's underscored!

Kim was very elegant for me!

 

[sky_fly20]

low pcs or UR ?

 

[FSGMT]

I think So-Youn will be something special. She's a gorgeous skater to watch and considering the issues some of these other ladies had, I think she was underscored...

The layback was a level 1 and the combo was far easier than the others, so 46 is fine I think...
49 to Hae-Jin? :disapp: 22.06 PCS?! Gabrielle Daleman received a higher PCS!

 

[vera01]

Low PCS. She deserved high PCS.

 

[silverlake22]

I think Julia is listed at 5'2" on Wikipedia...I don't know if that's accurate though.

Probably isn't. ISU bios also say Liza is 5'3" and there's no way she's anywhere close to that...

The judges were harsh with the last 2 girls IMO

Federation popularity at work
wait till Korea has more single skaters

true and Julia is actually taller than Liza now

Compared to Russian ladies, judges were really harsh on Hae-jin. I think Hae-jin deserved to be in Top.3..

agreed, I expected a 52-53+ score
judges want a Russia-US top spot as usual

 

[vera01]

I expected Hae-jin to beat Lipnitskaia. Lipnitskaia had better spins but Hae-jin had better jumps, and harder ones, too. It's probably because Lipnitskaia is Russian and unfortunately, Hae-jin doesn't come from a country with a strong federation support..

Sure on TES but So-Youn has some of the best presentation in the field. Gorgeous carriage across the ice, good speed, lovely lines, expressive movements and nice choreography. Hae-Jin too. The judges base everything off of the TES...it's like they don't pay attention to the rest of the skating.

 

[koatcue]

These worlds are not strong, imo..

 

[sky_fly20]

ineteresting for FS, less than a point separating from them
Im sure the girls will be back in FS

There are times when a skater gives an exquisite performance but because of the Tes the judges just will not give a proper pe or in or ch score. The commentators
were addressing that with regard to Have-jin. The ISU really needs to address this, as it certainly is not fair or good judging imo.

I think FS would be interesting-SP score seems almost meaningless right now.

This is what's wrong with the system. PCS are nothing but a tool, whether it's to prop someone or hold them down. I thought both Hae-Jin and So-Youn deserved better than what they got. This is more dirty skating politics rearing its ugly two-faced head.

 

[Icey]

It would suit me if they would do away with the short program, as much as I enjoy seeing them. Maybe let them skate two longs, like they did one year in the GPF.
