2025 NHK Trophy Women's Free Skate

[Jeanie19]

Young. Gorgeous dress and a beautiful program. All greens. Really good skate.

Wow Young You podium!?!?!? So happy for her!!

This program is quite good for being self-choreographed, love the choreo sequence. Will be even better with a more on-theme dress rather than just generically pretty like this one though.

Wow, amazing competition for Young, I didn't expect her to skate that well, that should earn the highest place for Korean girls at this grand prix cycle so far. Very interesting plot for the olympic selection.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Well done, Young!! She's had an excellent competition! There are a few oddities with her jumps, but she got them all done. I wish that she would perform more facially, but she is decently engaged with her body. Her dress is pretty as well.

I'm crying. What a skate from Young She's really grown so much. Honestly I'm so glad she's left Hamada because I was worried at one point that it will get too much for her body and she can't recover. That final lutz with the music gave me chills.

 

[Vemvane]

A lovely calm skate from Young, and how neat that she choreographed it herself. That solo 3F got really close to the boards. Over a point in GOE on the solo 3Lz at the end, wow! Her Kerrigan spiral in the choreo sequence was lovely, and I appreciated the wide shot showing the distance she was travelling in it. Very happy to see her back and enjoying herself.

I just want Samodelkina to skate her best.

Wow Young You podium!?!?!? So happy for her!!

Noooo she missed it just by very small margin

 

[TallyT]

Oh great costume for Sunset Boulevard....

 

[Lunalovesskating]

All combos in the second half? Ohhh

Korea's Olympic selection hinges entirely on their 2 national competitions for Olympics- so this result won't matter, but hopefully it gives Young confidence that she can fight for a spot.

 

[Ares]

My fault. That - if you believe in jinxes

 

[lariko]

She doesn't have the strength yet to put combos at the back, but I guess she wants to try

 

[TT_Fin]

She lips sings with emotion.

 

[Ares]

I'm sorry, I had to post it as we had a Titanic program a moment ago.

 

[readernick]

Sofia seems so much faster this year. I think it is too risky to put all the combos in the second half because she is losing points on quality that she is gaining in BV. I quite like this program.

 

[lariko]

Wow, what a fight. I am glad that the program was less risky than last year allowing her to correct for problems. A very good showing after an injury. It is a pity she doesn't have the second stage.

 

[LazyFuzai]

Wow,that was really impressive.Especially technically.Wow.She even accent a lot on music to put presentation value so it's really good skate.Deserved first even tho last two spins were awful

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Well done, Sofia! I'm glad that we're seeing stronger skates in this half of the competition. There were a few little rough moments, but it was quite a strong performance overall.
