The way they are almost exclusively calling Flip edges here, but really going in on them, like

will Madeline keep it together?

 

[Dawn825]

Pretty good for Maddie, often if she makes one mistake everything falls apart, but not here.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Not bad, but I'm meh on Summertime in general and this was no exception sorry

 

[norwegianfairytale]

will Madeline keep it together?

Mixed bag, but not the worst.

Curious what the judges will do. Some of the GOE was generous. Current TES is 63-64 before review. This should not go ahead of Haein but i´m afraid...

will Madeline keep it together?

Kind of? Not bomb-proof yet, but not too bad. Probably a medal, I guess, but don't think she's going to stay ahead of Haein

That difficult spin exit point has got to go...

That difficult spin exit point has got to go...

Definitely, I hate it with a burning passion

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Holy moly, she slayed

 

[Ichatdelune]

Oh my love just that twizzle stumble otherwise that was beautiful, I think I love your programs best out of Team Korea's girls here

 

[Jeanie19]

Chaeyeon. Beautiful dress. Really good skate.

 

[elektra blue]

silly step out but she delivered

 

[icewhite]

Chaeyeon's programs this season really don't fit with how I see her as a skater.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

This should easily win, not much found in review. TES still over 70

Just as I say that, Chaeyoun nails it.
There are a few things about her that I normally can't stand in a skater. But I can't help it, I Love both her programs, she's commanding, and I am rooting for her pretty hard this season. The Lutz edge is to die for. She's in it for the big medals.

Chaeyeon

 

[elektra blue]

congrats to Chaeyeon! and now off to watch junior cacti

 

[Ichatdelune]

I am happy with how my girls did, now time to watch more than 3 screens at once again

I love her, she's different from the other Korean girls, but I think the programs don't really showcase her abilities to the full.
But well, it was good enough to win, and not against easy competition.

I can see that for the short, but since I really like the music I enjoy it anyways. But I think the FS is a perfect match. She's a very serious skater so she needs serious music. All the sharp dramatic movements help her make an impact, considering she's so small. She nails them and the vibe I think.
