[NikeQ]

Korean channel on TVU is showing ladies warm-up.

 

[Nadine]

Wow, great shot at the beginning of Frank Carroll standing by the boards with his hands clasped around his chest staring intently at Bebe (isn't he also coaching Mirai as well?; yeah, he is!).


Warmup Going On!


Love Bebe's black halter style short dress with a red rose in her hair, and also Mirai is also in black with gold glitter adorning her dress.

Nice triple jump by Bebe earlier.

Mirai had a slight problem on her 3jump.

Gorgeous spiral all the way down the ice by Bebe.

WARMUP OVER!

bingwa geng...nice 3s....3 turn out of 3z1t. i didnt see anything else

 

[Nadine]

Ah, this music of Jules Massenet "Meditation" always make me wanna cry.

Brings back memories of Oksana Baiul skating to this exquisite piece of music the Fall of 1995 (she even dedicated it to Sergei that one time). I can just see her now......wearing silk grey with a feather in her hair......classical, beautiful, one of the best professional programs of all time, as well as G&G skating to this too.

 

[amateur]

Thanks for the link - missed the 1st skater, I'll try to resume PbP from here

 

[TCAngel18]

47.64...not bad

 

[Nadine]

This CHN gal had a horrible fall on her first triple jump attempt, nice comeback with either a 3S or 2S?. Hard time holding her edge on the spiral though. Great 2A! And the ending spin was superb!

Good job, good job!

 

[ANW]

she has pretty good basics, the PCS is low since she is new

47.64...not bad

 

[TCAngel18]

ya Xu had a hard fall on her 3t combo, but nice 3s and 2ax....traveled on spins but nice positions...ooh 37.08...thats like 15th place in jgp

 

[amateur]

Binshu Xu, CHN
Umbrellas of Cherbourg bombastic string arrangement

3lz hard fall, surprising, probably ur
3lo good
2a good near end
(I hope I have the jumps right, I'm not a skater so it's sometimes hard without commentary, or with Chinese commentary....)

spins pretty good, good positions, speed/centring not perfect tho
A bit of a businesslike/athletic kinda performance, but soft & nice enough without being exceptional. Shame about the fall, she had good attack.

37.08.. wow ok... was the loop maybe just a double?

 

[TCAngel18]

it is possible but would not be good for geng to finish the highest chinese skater in the competition tho, cuz shes not eligible for olys

 

[TCAngel18]

amateur, its a 3 salchow hun, but good pbp... qnd a triple toe not a lutz...

 

[Nadine]

Nice opening 3L/2T (thinkt he 3L was 2footed though), good 3R, and gorgeous spiral into 2A! Nice spins as well.

Not bad at all. Good job, good job!

Yan Liu skated quite good. I liked her SP.
