Yu-Na Kim's Long Program Practice
As we wait for her performance in Germany, here is a look at her dominating practice from earlier today. The music is commanding, but she doesn't appear to be performing much yet. She didn't seem to be very expressive in the short program, yet it can be expected given that she needs to do a job here, attain a score, silence critics and show everyone that she can jump better than anyone in the ladies event. She is certainly doing that. We can only hope she will remove the tights from over her skates get a new dress; looking like a glittered peasant never works.

I have never heard a good competitive skating music cut of Les Miz...until this. Beautifully crafted. Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeletevery impressive. I did not think she would be able to get back to this level. So who is skating for second in Sochi?
ReplyDeleteGosh--the music cut could have been so much better. The part to On My Own is the best, but even there, the cut is chopped right where the emotion in the music builds. But who cares, when she can jump like that? Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteHere is her free: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye0u0lM9IP4
ReplyDeleteBeautiful performance. Too bad about the fall, but still impressive with all the clean elements (3Lz+3T, 3F, 3S, 3Lz, and 2A). And 201 points overall!!!
She will certainly work on bring up her stamina leading to worlds and she has plenty of time for that.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic and classy comeback. Congrats.
Somewhere Mao is eating a tub of Haagen daz......
ReplyDeleteNope.

ReplyDeleteI don't agree on that. It'll be like wearing snickers with a classic dress. I hate when skaters do that.

DeleteYuna's performance in the free program was impressive, but the aura of invincibility is gone. It will be interesting to see if her competition can catch her, as they definitely have a chance. Mao and Ashley won't be sitting around eating haagen daz in despair during their break because they are fighters and hopefully Yuna's return will motivate them.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, Yuna's short program dress might just be my favorite of the season.
