Mao's stock is plummeting fast. I won't be surprised if her PCS are below both Satoko and Evgenia by Boston.
It'll be below Evegnia (who gets RIDICULOUS PCS), idk abou Satoko, who iMO deserves higher PCS.

Why they cut off Rika speaking? :shocked: :eekn:
Yes, Japan Open performance was great - not fully polished, due to being so early in the season, a couple of doubled/singled jumps... but it was beautiful anyway.Here you go. Heartbreakingly beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-sPW4jpF80

Mao might not go to the Olympics at this rate....
The juniors will surpass her by 2018 if she doesn't up her game.
I'm sorry but what was the point of this? Someone was asking for a clean version of Mao's Madame Butterfly
No, the requestor wrote:
The skating gods must allow us a clean Madama Butterfly at least once. No mention is made that it was restricted to Mao's, although that might have been implied.
It is POSSIBLE since she got credit for each element she tries in the LP this season (but in different competitions). Likely? No. Possible? Yes.
3A done more than once
3F-3L done at NHK trophy SP
3Lz - done with full credit at GPF
2A-3T done more than once
3L done more than once
3S done more than once
3F-2L-2L done more than once
I thought Shizuka skated to Turnadot. Or was it a Madame Butterfly-Turnadot mashup?
Wow, I re-watched her FS and that lutz was totally on the correct edge! Now I hope she can rotate her X-3L combos and gain some consistency (though I must admit I've kinda given up on her and an pleasantly surprised when she does well like at Sochi). As unlikely as it seems at this point, I want her to win worlds this year.
Does anyone else feel like Yuna Shiraiwa was underscored?
I know she's a junior, but she has difficult clean programs and is a well-rounded skater. She even did 3L-3T-2T in second half!!! I don't understand why Wakaba placed 3 spot ahead of her.
What am I missing?
Maybe there were some calls on her jumps? I'll have to look at the scoresheets
Said this before and have to say it again, Satoko has EVERYTHING except for big jumps. Her artistry, lines, spins, spiral, musicality, artistry, is impeccable. I'd put her above Evegnia on those, and second to only Mao (in prime form).
