SP: 60.66 (2nd)

Minchae has improved so much in her performance ability, and I love the way she sinks into her kneebend on her landings. That long wait on that outside edge for the 3Lz was well worth it, and her sensitivity of movement was very evident throughout this program. She is losing points on her spins in GOE and levels, but the jumps were so solid.

Lovely program from Minchae ! She flew on those jumps. The step sequence seemed a tad slow with the music, but overall I really loved this

 

[Jontor]

Good to see Minchae back with a solid skate

Minchae's jumps are so big. She doesn't necessarily have the best technique but incredible jumping legs. I think this program has more choreo than her previous programs have had... less empty. So, that is nice to see. Some artistic growth even if not an original concept.

MINCHAE AAAAAAHHHHHH SHE WENT CLEAN AT HER GP DEBUT AFTER A SEAON OFF FROM INJURY I WEEP

 

[YuBluByMe]

That was the best I’ve seen Kim Minchae skate in a while.

Minchae!! Love the height and distance of that 3T 3T

 

[TT_Fin]

Beatiful and high 3T-3T is so much better to look for us ordinary funs than scrathcy Flip/Flutz-3T.

 

[FlossieH]

Well, Minchae Kim is back too! Nice clean skate. 3T-3T won't get her that high a score, but really good clean comeback programme.

Minchae!! Lovely program from her, especially as she comes back from injury. Those jumps are really something!
