Ladies SP

[reynycpr]

Wow... who would of thought that Julia would be the leader after the SP. I expect that to change in the Long... but still!

[gourry]

Mao.... I'm just so glad she's ditching this program.
And while this costume seems much better than previous one, I just can't like the whole series of costumes... Is see-through a new theme for Mao?? Why all of her skirt is see through??

[DarkestMoon]

Masquerade. She's bringing out Caprice at the GPF, since she 5 days definitely isn't enough to re-choreograph a program.

Thanks.

Girl needs a less terrifying coach.

Girl needs to bend and snap.

[Kinga]

Well, at least the dress is an improvement. Although the flowers on the chest could be ditched.
I love Masquarade waltz! It always gives me shivers

[Hsuhs]

Yep, as of today, Julia SEBESTYEN rocks! The best!

[HCOSurfer]

OUCH 51.94 for Mao . Who would've thought that Julia and Alissa would be the top two in the SP?

[herios]

Aaah Mao, not again!!

she didn't have a combo, that will hurt

[Buttercup]

Holy cow! Granny is leading!!

Julia Sebestyen wins the SP! I would never have seen that coming, just fantastic!

I've always liked her and this season I've decided to add her to my favorites. She will skate in her 4th Olympics in a few months time and has not missed Worlds since before her first Olympics. I think she deserves a ton of respect for her long career and her achievements. Go Julia!

ETA: and Mao barely into the final group... ouch, she and TaT better get to work on the new SP immediately.

[Nadine]

And things just keep progressively going downhill for Mao, more & more & more.

Into 6th place exactly right.

The only thing I like is the costume.

My gosh, don't you people get it, they're telling you to drop the 3A & the dark music, et al.

WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tuggy-fan]

i'm really happy for Julia

good luck for tomorrow!!

[Wrlmy]

My god, this is just so sad:( Surely she can catch up tomorrow, but this is not the kind of score reflective of her caliber by any means.

[adamlondon]

mao needs to ditch the 3A pronto. Go to a 3L-3L combo and 3f.She is killing herself here.

[museksk8r]

Wow, devastating for Mao . . . 6th place with 51.94. When was the last time she got a score that low? Yikes!

Ando has an even greater shot at winning this now, I think.

[R.D.]

WOW.

Stunning. What a disaster for Mao. And who would have guessed the leader after the short?!
