When can Eunsoo skates a clean FS?

 

[sunnystars]

man
I still can't click into this program even after repeated watches

and lol she didn't even give any face here

oh well Eunsoo
you have Rostelecom to go still

 

[Danny T]

I'll never know how Raf can still stand Chicago and how BOrser can still stand Carmen ...

 

[frida80]

Eunsoo...

 

[GGFan]

Eunsoo's acting abilities are superior to most of her peers. She's one of the few who has actually pulled off the innocence/evil/sexy/winkiness of Chicago. The little heart she does doesn't fit at all and the footwork needs more energy but she's def a star!

7 Eunsoo LIM (KOR)

Music: Chicago (soundtrack) by John Kander, Fred Ebb

Black sparkly fringe dress

3Lz

CCoSp4
3Lz+3T - foot down

Bit muted skate, cautious. Nasty fall on 3S. Landed 5 triples

FS: 63.98+63.55-1.00 = 126.53 (SB), 196.31 (SB), 2/7

The moment she fell on that salchow my heart just shattered, oh darling...

 

[lavenderblossom]

Had to change streams halfway through, but what I saw of Eunsoo looked good. Just a shame about the fall.

 

[kimi492]

Did Eunsoo get hurt? I saw her holding her leg after colliding with Mai

 

[Hyena]

Oh, poor Eunsoo - we just saw her collide with Mai during the warm-up and fall I'm sure that shook her up.

 

[largeman]

Oh, yes. 5 wives and a mistress. And possibly another wife on the way!

It's an ongoing joke based on a series of posts I made a few years ago. I wrote a sequel during the summer, but never posted it because other things that happened during the summer made it seem unimportant.

For the original story, see this post and the few posts that follow it:

We need to pin this post because you are getting asked about it every day!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Hey is that a squirtle plush for Eunsoo?

And oh it looks like there was a collision in warm up!

 

[frida80]

When can Eunsoo skates a clean FS?

Hopefully next week.

 

[oly2018]

While I think the dress is GORGEOUS, I think the packaging is a bit too dark for her. The black dress with the intense staring is a bit off.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I love you Eunsoo, but for heaven's sake it's Roxie HART. There is NO REASON FOR YOU TO MAKE A HEART GESTURE.

Blame Suzuki Akiko, she's the choreographer.

Eunsoo Lim

- Good flow-out on the 3Lz, might be < though (+1)
- Smooth and easy 3Lo (+3)
- Ouch, very titled on the 3S, and a fall (-5)
- Nice centering on the combo spin, clear positions (+2)
- Stiff on the 3T landing on 3Lz+3T (-2)
- Held landing on the 2A, maybe was trying for 3T on end of it (+2)
- Good 3F+2T+2Lo (+2)
- Okay 2A+2T (+1)
- Very quick through the layback spin (+2)
- Good edges but a bit reserved through step sequence (+2)
- Nice musicality through the final spin (+2)

Hm, the expression through this Chicago number hasn't really changed. It's just not jazzy enough, not enough snap and spunk to pull it off completely. I think I saw her smile once throughout the performance, unlike the short program. The choreography really needs to help her get that sass out from her. A fair performance this time but could be a lot better.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Was a part of music not from the film Victor-Victoria?

It's all from Chicago. One of the numbers was not in the original show, but created for the movie and then incorporated back into the show.

And I give Eunsoo credit: at least that's an original take on a warhorse. No Cell Block Tango.

And she can dance. Really dance.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I watched Stephen Kings, "It" as a kid. I've never trusted them since.

Ah. Just the mention of the name Stephen King explains everything. I don't go in for horror, so I haven't seen that film or read the book. But, I can imagine it wasn't pleasant!

she did once for 2017 nationals with Miss Saigon

 

[Danny T]

That said, I think this is a pretty good GP debut for Eunsoo. She looked very tense today, and the salchow was all kind of wrong from the start. But the rest wasn't so bad. Some of the jumps were hugeee. Do better next time bb!!
