I wonder if she'll have a chance at GPF...........:
Probably not since she didn't medal at Skate America.
But maybe next year.

I guess the next 3 years will be interesting for me then

I hope to see a more polished So Youn in the future. I think she can do wonders :yes: And it will be nice to see her fully come into her own style. She gets compared to Yuna so much, but she's definitely a softer skater, & that's just fine. :agree:

What a very interesting GP event Rostelecom has become....
Now some people are saying that it might be jetlag that caused her to skate....like that and I'm sadly going along with it. (don't like making excuse but it really is plausible)
So Youn was reported to that some air travelling issues before the SkAm event. It was reported that she had to take multiple flights to go to the US rather than a one-way flight. Now if the same issues did arise for Rostelecom, then sucks for her then.hwell: I was kinda wondering why she gets to the GP event later than the others anyway....
Good luck on the LP So-Younie!

We do have to keep in mind that So Youn is mentally weaker than Yuna competition-wise. Yeah, we can't really blame jetlag issues yet...

Well to be fair.... who can possibly compare to Yuna in that department? Patrick? Hanyu? Abbott? ... Mao, Carolina? Julia? Adelina? No way...
Morning time in Europe, Korea time night. How long did she rest here? Less than a day? It may be wise to leave at least a day early next time?
It is a uphill struggle for LP, but she shouldn't worry about the ranking at this point. Just focus on herself and skate CLEAN. She need to skate clean to be even in contention at worlds with judge's impressions.

You and cooper do have a point about Yuna!Also, I do agree about her focusing in the LP. I don't think she's even in contention at worlds but I do think she should continue to aim for a better placing.
i hope she'll do well on the fs... Perhaps being in the first group may reduce some pressure.
I just watched again her 2014 Worlds. It's just so beautiful. I love her posture when she jumps and lands. So refined. I hope she does well in the FS. About her mental strength, I think that will eventually develop. But I do think she has great confidence on the ice. She doesn't spot or hesitate when she jumps.

I would compare pre-Torino Plushenko to Yuna in terms of balanced programs and insane consistency. He was virtually unbeatable 2001-2006 save for Salt Lake City.
Also, I totally think the "focusing on yourself" is something that Yuna can do very well; she repeatedly said that she tries to forget about everything else and just "skate as well as she can". Wishing the same personal strength to So Youn! Best of luck, dear! :agree:
