I talked about her body type here. Not her weight.Didn't Ashley have to lose 5 lbs for the Sochi Olympics bc her coach thought her jumps would improve from the weight loss?

Don't hate me for saying this but IMO if she wants to do 3F-3T or 3Lz-3T, she needs to 1) lose weight, or 2) need some serious power training for leg muscles. Her chest is kinda big for her height and she needs lots of speed to land any kind of combo as it is. Compare her combos with, say, Yulia's. Yulia with no flow and mule kicks can eek out 3T combos because she is so small and her chest doesn't get in the way of rotation. I definitely prefer Park's textbook style (who knows what will happen to Yulia in the next few years), but nevertheless Park's 2nd/3rd jumps in combos are tiny because that chest puts quite a bit more stress on her legs when landing.
Example:
Check out her 2nd Lutz combo (3Lz-2T-2Lo) in realtime -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2jzPxN68vrU#t=169

Her TES was fine in WC 2014 and may even be enough in 2018 if Korea does Sochi , but 3-3 has become a staple of top flight contenders and she will need one other than 3T-3T.
Couldn't agree more...She was indeed one of the most beautiful surprises at this Worlds. I saw her in Sochi also,but at that time I wasn't able to have a clear opinion about her But now I know exactly that I'll watch her more carefully . And I also believe she could medal at the 2018 Olympics
And of course,she is very beautiful and surly doesn't need to lose weight
Cute picture with team mate Jin-Seo, also Zijun and HanYan
She and Zijun are good friends from their days at Youth Olympics as 3rd and 4th. Han Yan is listed to take part at Yuna's farewell ice show in May.

Loose weight???
Note: This is a thread in FAN FESTS. If you are not a fan, then stay out of here. Criticism is ok, but that is vicius nonsense.
What struck me from both the commentaries was how often they utter "judges," and "judging." What is it called, Freudian something..? Thank you for the links, os168.Eurosport broadcast (Hilarious mistakes as usual from Eurosport boyz, PyeonChang not PyeonYang. Also it is Rachmaninov not Andrew Lloyd Webber.)

Thank you for that video, Mrs. P. I stand corrected; she doesn't skate like a junior. I think my first impression came from rather incoherent choreo and music cuts than her movements.
small matter, but it actually is Andrew Lloyd Webber and not Rachmaninoff. That Paganini caprice is quite popular, and Rach wasn't the only one that wrote variations on itEurosport broadcast (Hilarious mistakes as usual from Eurosport boyz, PyeonChang not PyeonYang.

Next year she will be 17 years old, isn't? Will she get taller? Most Asian girls stop growing at this age, but I am not sure. I hope she has done growing already.I should've posted this earlier but anyway,
So-Youn is performing to I Dream A Dream but by the Glee cast for ATS. Although I wish that she skate it with Susan Boyle's version instead, I'm thinking that it might be her one of her competitive programs for next year. :think:
