2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

WOWOWOWOWOW! Queen Yuna indeed! Amazing skate! I saw this SP at Korean Nationals and I wasn't excited about it... but I looooooooved it here! She is just so clean and tidy--it's so hard to find a place to deduct points. Like a rock. Congratulations on a stunning SP and good luck in the free!
 
Apart from jumps YuNa was mediocre. It was just slowly cautiosly skating to music, spins were not very good. Lacked character. Not the James Bond girl.
 
How the hell did Yu-na only get +1.50 for her 3lz-3toe, while Julia got a +1.40 for a flutz. Something's fishy here.
 
Yuna got +1.5 for her 3Lz-3T here. Julia got +1.4 in the team event. Even if Yuna wasn't at her very best here, that doesn't seem right, ugh.
 
I would score Yu-Na:

3Lutz+3Toe, +2 GOE
3Flip, +2 GOE
FCSp4, +1 GOE
2Axel, +2 GOE
LSp2, 0 GOE
StSq3, +2 GOE
CCoSp3, +1 GOE

SS - 8.75
Trans - 8.0
Performance - 8.5
Chor - 8.25
Interp - 8.5

Total - 69.93

This seems pretty fair. The 74 score is quite high....Yuna's jumps are great, of course, but her lines and positioning are not exceptional. I wish she would come out of jumps with a spiral, like older American skaters used to do---that was beautiful form. I definitely disagree with the commenter who called this the best ever short program.
 
I noticed that Yuna only got +1.5 GOE on her 3Lz-3T.

I am sure that Julia can get +1.4 GOE on her Flutz-3T again. :mad:
 
Agree with a poster above.
Jumps were great, but spins and overall program didn't move me.
I think Gold's choreography and music are much better.
 
To those saying she was underscored... remember there's no spiral element now, and her elements were not as difficult as they were in Vancouver. 75 is just right
