Sochi Olympics 2014 ［Ladies Competition］

Kexin actually impressed me, I thought she just needed that snap and polish. Actually, I've never heard about her until now.   

Anyway, nice skate from Kaetlyn, shame about her planned 3Tcombo.

Kaetlyn was really fun... and I think I jinxed her...

I liked that she didn't let her mistakes affect her performance. But I agree, we've seen much better from her.

Han was kind of boring... and I wanted to be watching Kanako Murakami's SP to this.

Prayer for Taylor will always remind me of Kana.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm watching now the competition. Praying hard for Mao too!

Welcome to the forums, MyMao!

The Brazilian skater did great too, but Dark Eyes will always be Sasha's to me sorry!

Isadora Williams looks like Samantha Cesario... who I'd much rather be watching. Or I could watch Sasha's SP to this.

About Haejin:
Terry: 'Second one not named Yuna Kim'

Come on, try to sound more enthusiastic.

Oh my gosh, she is another mini Yuna, even the jump technique . Those rounded shoulders...even lack of pointed toes. Am I imagining things?  

Okay, I'm back. How did HJ do?

Jumps had enough flow, no glaring mistakes, spins not centered and seemed like she was struggling on second half of the program. Really, really reminds me of Yuna.

And that's why I prefer her to SY.

And when did I get my 3lo?

No you're not. She's even wearing the same thing in her hair that Yuna did for Scherezade.  Her expression to the music is also Yuna. This is creepy. I get it she's her idol, but come on, everyone needs their own style.

We have NBCSN here.
Polina did great! Solid skate. Makes me want to dance to cha-cha too.

Polina did really well! I want to see her in 2018's final group!

Livechats are annoying.

Polina gets 61+ and she looks disappointed?!    It's her first senior international competition, what did she expect? 70?

Man So-yeon is just out of top 24 at the moment. Hopefully she'll make it.

@I-spiralmao, i prefer So-Yeon, she looks less like Yuna, which is good, we don't need another Yuna, one is more than enough.

She scored near to 70 at Nationals... maybe she expected to get the same score here?!! The 3T in her combo was given a < and her PCS were more than generous for her Senior debut, imo!

zarina, I'm that one oddball fan who loves of both of them... and that's why I threw out the idea of them tying...

I agree she needs her own stye, I keep seeing Yuna in these 2 skaters from Korea.   its boring even the choreography and hand movement are the same as Yuna...

Maybe.
I did enjoy her skate, so I have no problems with her score even if the PCS is a bit excessive.

So does that mean Yuna is easy to imitate?   
Have to admit, I'll miss Yuna once she permanently retires. No one can be like her.
