2024 NHK Trophy Women's Free Skate

[tsuyoboogie]

Great fight by Yelim!

 

[Ares]

I much prefer this rendition of Je suis malade over Lara Fabian's one.

 

[TallyT]

The 0A hurt but much better than Skate Canada, dearie I'll see you even stronger at the Ranking Competition

She definitely looks happier?

 

[anonymoose_au]

Right had to reboot my Chromecast to stop the weird echo-ing Chris... I missed Yelim

 

[Vemvane]

Well done, Yelim! Season's best for the free, hooray! I was thrilled to see her enormous 3Lz again - she gets so much amplitude on her jumps when they work out. Her jumps looked so much better than they were at Skate Canada. Beautiful Ina Bauer in her choreo sequence. And I love her dress.

 

[rabidline]

Chris sounds so encouraging, I appreciate the support.

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Come on Niina!

 

[denise3lz]

Satoko says she once wanted to perform to this piece.

 

[Jeanie19]

Yelim. Beautiful dress. Much better skate. I love her so I an happy she is getting on the right path.

I much prefer this rendition of Je suis malade over Lara Fabian's one.

you know which one i like? a muted one

 

[elektra blue]

make yourself proud, my baby

 

[rabidline]

Satoko says she once wanted to perform to this piece.

I need her to make an exhibition program to this tbh... it really is unfortunate that her jumps completely crumbled because with her current performance ability it would have been a valid choice for a competitive program.

 

[TallyT]

Ooh, I do like Niina's dress too, I love shadings of blue and brown like that...

 

[rabidline]

Also this dress on Niina is stunning. Can't wait for the photos coming out of this event.

Another one for the Dune group lol.

 

[readernick]

This is one of my favorite costumes of the season. I just love this color palette.

 

[Sai Bon]

And Chris assures us yet again (for the what 50th time?) that the place is 'packed to the...' what is that word he keeps using?

Was it rafters?

 

[rabidline]

The Japanese crowd tentatively clapping, lol. But honestly I understand why Chris kept complimenting this crowd- it really is a good sized, knowledgeable, appreciative one and you know they're not here for just one person....

 

[Sabsi]

Oh no that fall at the Step Sequence… Some really tight landings, too but she fought for staying on her feet. Not a Fan of Dune Music, but Niina did a great job

 

[elektra blue]

you're capable of much better skates, but mama is proud of you nonetheless

 

[hermine17]

Urgh, that stupid fall. Very strong overall.
