I'M SO HAPPY. After deadly competition in Japan, this line-up really gave her chance to medal and I'm proud she did THAT after messy short. She needs to go for these combinations, she's one of the best jumpers in the field and her combos are so good when they click, she has to work hard to have no hesitation, she has all the skills, just more belief. First GP medal dbjhsbdjshbfsd One of many for sure! <3

Omg I'm so happy she got a redemption from that terrible SP performance. [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24] I hope this boosts her up for K-Nationals. The judges are clearly showing that they like what they see in her skating and I hope she continues to realize this. [emoji2956]

I enjoyed Eusoon's LP. She gave a charming performance with refined and snazzy expression combined with fluidity and grace in her finished movements and jumps, all done with a fine sense of balance. She had some delightful dance steps and nice camel spin variations at the end too. She did slightly scrape the ice with her free skate on the landing for the 3 flip but I think it was rotated, so I disagree with this ur call. I won't get started on PCS scores.

OMG A MEDAL IN HER FIRST GP SEASON!
A medal is a medal no matter the state of the competition. Also the only non-Russian, non-Japanese girl to medal so far. Reminds me of her debut junior season.:luv17:
The gap with 3rd place wasn't big so I was sort of convinced she could make it as long as she didn't bomb the free and she kept it together. She even scored 185 without 2 -3T combos which is pretty good. Now that CoR is over, I'll admit defeat and say yeah, the long just isn't good. Her outfit is amazing and I'm glad she went with red lipstick this time, but there is such a lack of choreography in those first jumping passes. She also doesn't seem to cover much ice during the step sequence. Still, she really pulled through in these back to back competitions and I hope it gives her confidence.

I know this video is late, but better late than never...
CBC commentary for her Rostelecom Cup LP is at 10:57, plus there's a warm-up clip at 2:34 (the password is women): https://vimeo.com/299711362 Her SP wasn't broadcast on Canadian television.

Eunsoo did an interview with SBS! She looks so good in that black dress, and to watch her speak her thoughts in a calm, collected manner :luv17: And the interview didn't have annoying questions, thank goodness.
I can translate if needed.

Translation of the SBS interview, excuse the wall of text. I tried to keep her original wording as much as possible.
Anchor (hence A): Figure skater 15-year-old Lim Eunsoo, who had made her debut on the senior scene this season, won a valuable (TN: Grand Prix) bronze medal a month ago. This is the first medal won in an international senior competition by a Korean female skater since Kim Yuna. From 'Yuna's Kids' to aspiring 'Figure Queen', we have invited figure skater Lim Eunsoo to the studio. Welcome, and congratulations.
Eunsoo (hence E): Hello, and thank you.
A: It was your first senior season so you must have been very nervous, yet on your first competition (TN: on the senior GP circuit) you won a bronze medal! Tell us your thoughts on that, if you please.
E: Uh, first, I did have disappointing moments, and... I could have done better on many points, but still, I'm very happy that I got to bring good news (TN: to Korea).
A: Congratulations again. And now, since Kim Yuna it has been nine years that a Korean lady has won a (TN: senior international) medal, did Yuna send her congratulations?
E: Um, Yuna always tells me "Good job" or other encouraging words after competitions, this time too, (TN: she's quoting the Queen) she was worried because I had two competitions in a row, but I did well and she's proud of all the work I've done, I was really thankful for her words.
A: As you've said just now, I've heard that Yuna often gives you encouragements and advice, what kind of advice does she give you?
E: Um, well... Comp- At competitions, she often tells me that she's proud of what I did, and... Sometimes, she says this would be better this way and things like that, she gives me those kinds of advice too. (TN: squirtle is careful with her words here, the Queen being her idol and all)
A: I see. With the men Cha Junhwan has been getting good results as well, and some have started saying that you two are the rising stars of Korean figure skating. Does the pressure get to you sometimes?
E: Um... Well, of course sometimes I feel the pressure, but still, like... A sense of responsibility? I'm starting to feel things like that, and when I hear those kinds of words... it makes me feel that I should work harder.
A: All right. Now you have been in the US since April for your training, and you're working with a world-famous coach who has coached Asada Mao and Michelle Kwan. Does it help you much?
E: Well, first, the environment at the camp is very good for my training, and I'm very satisfied and concentrating on my work. And... I'm working with a world-famous coach, so I do get a wider scope regarding the things I can learn. Still, I think it's because I've been working hard with good coaches in Korea that I'm able to take more things in working with Raf (TN: she says 'in the US', but since she's talking about coaching changes I thought it'd better to specify)
A: Let's talk about the competition where you won your bronze medal. You did a near-perfect performance to the music of Chicago during your free program, what was on your mind before you performed your free?
E: First, I was very much disappointed that during the short program (squirtle smile) I wasn't able to perform much of a perfect skate, and I was... upset, but for the free, I collected myself, and my mom told me before the free, she said she wanted me to always concentrate (TN: during the performance) no matter what happens and to end it with a smile, so I was thinking just before (TN: the free) that I was going to focus until the end no matter what happens and do my best. That's what I was thinking before I started.
A: You're a good daughter, listening to your mother like that.
E: Oh, um, okay (short giggle)
A: While watching the performance your facial expressions especially stood out, and you do get complimented often for your expressiveness. Are you working on on those points too?
E: Well, first to understand the program I listen to music a lot (TN: I think she's referring to the Chicago soundtrack here by 'music'), and, well, I watch other films and stuff too, to think about my facial expressions during the performance and also to practice them.
A: You decided you wanted to try figure skating at age 6 after watching Yuna skate, what drew you in?
E: To be honest, I was too young back then, and I just thought Yuna's dress was so pretty and sparkly and I wanted to skate in a dress like that. And that's how I started.
A: And after you started skating, what was it like? You had your moments of regret and wanting to give up?
E: Yes, I do have my tough moments, and... um, those moments of wanting to stop and just give up do come, but I don't think I have ever regretted (TN: deciding to be a skater, :luv17
.
A: You're one of the so-called trio of aspiring Korean figure skaters, Lim Eunsoo, Kim Yelim, and You Young. Since you're close in age as well there must be friendly competition, how is it like?
E: Well... first, us three, we... We all have very different styles, with different strong points and weak points. So we learn from each other, and, we're a good stimulant to each other to make us work harder and become better.
A: A lot of people are reminded of Yuna while watching you on the ice (TN: was kinda annoying but then it wasn't an outright comparison so...
hwell, your expressiveness, your jumping style, so on. What does it feel like to hear you remind others of Yuna?
E: First... Yuna is the skater I want to be like the most, so those kind of words... motivate me, like, to work harder. And I watch videos of Yuna a lot, and I try to learn from her the points that I'd like to have as well.
A: Figure skaters have to take care on their diets, but you're now in 9th grade, right?
E: Yes (nods)
A: That's a time when you have so many things you'd like to do and eat, isn't it hard in that way?
E: Well... Of course, I can't eat everything I'd like to, like, regular people. But it's something that I control myself as an athlete, and... sometimes, if I really want something, then sometimes, I do eat it, and my mom, she always prepares healthy food for me, so I think I'm having it okay.
A: Last question, what are your goals for your future?
E: I'd... like to improve step by step, build things up to be collected and firm. I'd like to go to the Olympics, and... winning the gold medal, that would be my goal. (TN: It could just be me, but she seemed to be looking at something off-screen when she was pausing. Hmm :think
A: We'll be looking forward to your progress. Thank you for your time.
E: Thank you.

Rafael talked about the collision here.
You can tell Rafael's frustration in a good way. He must have expected much much better result from Eunsoo as we all did. Fingers crossed for the 4 continents and the world!!
Followings are the copy from the aboved linked article.
Rafael, please, tell us your impressions about Eunsoo's performance. All of us enjoyed her performance.
Well, I didn't particularly enjoy it. The fact is that she had her skates sharpened just before the competition. For me it was a shock. In Russia, even children know that skates should not be sharpened before the start, that at least 4-5 practices are needed for the blades to return to normal. In the first two practices she hardly skated, did not execute elements properly and not their correct places. The same way she also skated her short program.
At the NHK Trophy she performed the SP much better, but there was a fall during warm-up before the FP, she was knocked down and fell right on her back, on the right side, there was a huge hematoma. So she performed the program in not the best way. And here we have another surprise, skates! To be honest, I didn't say anything to her then, only now I told her not to do it anymore.
I could not even imagine that an athlete at such a high level could make so stupid a mistake. Normally, when athletes from other countries come to me, they do not know many things and they study them.
For example, I have been coaching Nathan since he was 10 years old, and he would never have made such a mistake. With Eunsoo, three training sessions and a short program skating passed, and now, after the free program, the blades finally are back to normal.
Therefore, I need two years with an athlete to teach him what to do, how to do it, how to warm up, how to train, what to do before and after competitions, and what between competitions.
There are a lot of things, so it's all very complicated. We have a difficult sport - you work with your body, this body stands on a tiny spot, on the ice, and you have to jump!

Ouch
I still shudder at the thought of that collision, poor squirtle had terrible luck back then. Never again...Edit: I'm glad to see Raf say that he and Eunsoo understand each other, I only saw them interacting at US Classic so I wasn't able to form an idea about how her relationship with him is like. She's satisfied with Raf's ways, Raf says communications are going well, how nice

Ohhh
Damn that layout is gonna be killer...if she hits it [emoji28]
I hope that she makes a sensible decision as to how she approaches the FS. It is best for her to just think about having a podium finish. KNats is within 2 weeks after this competition. IMO that's when she should be throwing out this layout.
