Ahsun Yun KOR
SP: "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
FS: 'The Mummy' soundtrack
Wow, I just noticed this sp selection. I'm not familiar with Ahsun Yun, but the Nirvana music selection should be quite interesting. Is Ahsun a junior skater?
Former skater, Scott Williams (who briefly coached Michelle Kwan before she hooked up with Raf), famously skated to
Smells Like Teen Spirit, as a pro skater in the 1990s. Williams was a very good eligible skater (a contemporary of Brian Boitano), but his career really took off in professional competitions, which proliferated during the 1990s, and were a boon for many skaters, post their eligible careers. That's one reason why it's a shame there are no longer many pro competitions for veterans who retire from eligible competition.
Williams often worked with the amazing and very creative choreographer, Brian Wright, in crafting his pro performances. I wonder whether Ahsun has seen and was possibly inspired by Williams' pro performance to the Nirvana music. Here it is, from 1998: (Williams is known for his amazing barrel rolls)
