let's hope it won't be a rivalry of "who will screw up more"...
P.S. Is Eunsoo moving to seniors?

Really?!
I'm sure both will do well under Raf, and that could be a mutually beneficial environment for Honda to push for strong technical consistency with Lim there, and Lim to develop greater artistry from Honda. Of course, having Nathan Chen there will help too.

No skater is immune to screwing up, so let's not joke about "who will screw up more"; when that sort of thinking is applied to the skaters you admire, I'm sure the same joke doesn't land quite so nicely (Russians had their shares of struggles and errors, including Zagitova, Sotskova, Tuktamysheva, Radionova, Tsurkaya, Tarakanova, Konstantinova).

I did not pay too much attention to the Mao / Yuna rivalry but I do not think that the fact that Marin and Eun So Lim are the same on the contrary the fact that they are trained by the same coach can be a force, a little like Javi and Yuzu. They both have good musicality and have a lot of potential.
Yume: I do not hope Yuka will retire I had reviewed her previous performance from when she was junior and it's sad that she is not successful at maintaining her level because of the growth.

This is different imo becuz Back then yuna and mao did not have a flock of russian girls landing quads and 3A with difficult transitions. The korean girl and marin are talented yes, but neither of them are landing quads nor 3A like Eteri novice and jr girls are. Im not ruling them up, but based on their recent results, them missing out on podium on major competitions like GPF or Jr worlds speak for themselves. Hyping them up this early is not a good idea. Let the results come slowly.

Yes they will not be able to 3A and quads or podiums but a part of me want them to continue to develop more, anyway we still do not know what will give training under RAF. And I heard that the change of coach is not immediately operational so of course that the results will come little by little.
From what I understood by rereading you mean that it is not a good idea that they change coach and they should wait for the results come little by little?
In the case of Marin change was due to the fact that it targets 2022 and that may be Raf can help for his jumps (she also practiced 3 Ltz -3 LO) and for Eun So Lim it was for his Spins and his step sequence, so if RAf can bring them that,
I think it will do them good, who knows ....

No no im saying lets not rush and hype them up too quickly haha. Ive seen heaps of overhypes frm other forums of their star prowess or their IT factor, but imo Alena K has the same if not more starpower and artistry than those two anyway and Alena is already technically ahead (3A, 3Lz - 3Lo) and also younger.
I used to root for Marin heavily back in 14/15 season but then stopped cuz she said some things that disappointed me (the way she gets bored during competitions etc).
But I still like her and hope she gets on the podium at nationals [emoji813]

Oh ok I misunderstood sorry, yes some fans when it comes to their favorites can be exasive.
I loved her a lot in her first year junior but it was not one of my favorites, however I really hoped that she continues in her throw and shows that she is not the "little princess" everyone talks .
The fact that she said she was bored in competition makes me think of the little prodigy kids who are bored at school
Seriously, why are you talking about those two like if they were bombing machines
? Marin was a sucessful junior with Junior worlds gold medal, junior worlds silver medal and a JGPF medal. Yes her first senior season was disappointing but it's not like she bombed left and right and lost her jumps. Eunsoo didn't bomb at her two junior worlds. 4th and 5th is not bad for a Korean girl nowadays, really. She has the jumps and star power but needs work on spins and steps.
And i don't understand why they are compared to girls who won't even be seniors next season.

I've just looked up the date Yuzuru's coaching change to Orser was announced, it was in the last week of April so I'm still hoping for Wakaba(and my apologize if my post was off base.)
You brought up a very interesting comparison. I remember Yuzuru switched to Orser after his high-school graduation. Wakaba might choose to do the same. I think she still has a year left of school, right?

I mean high school. But yes my timing was wrong. Sorry. He graduated after the 2014 OG.

Yes, she is in the last year of high school now. According to Wiki, Haruka Imai graduated from the same school in 2012 and she was training in USA in 2011-2012 season. So maybe the school permits the students to train abroad :think:

Remember that super spinner girl from the jgp? The one who’s layback was a blur? How is she doing? I remember her jumps were very iffy but I don’t think anything else was really wrong. Any practice videos or updates on her career going forward?
