Ladies Free Program 19:00 pm Eastern Time Saturday, November 21

i have to say, being caucasian (and better being european) does have its advantage, just look at Laura's score

I love Laura but NO WAY was she better than Mirai tonight. What a joke

[bmcc102]

You want CoP overhauled only for ladies?

Haha, good point... overhaul the whole thing!

[dgel]

I agree, but it just burns my butt when people make ignorant comments.
......

Methinks it's time to OVERHAUL COP for ladies skating.

Hmm - pot, kettle, black?

[i love to skate]

I would call that skate anything but convincing.

The poster didn't call her skate convincing, they said that she would win convincingly. And she did - 20 points or so.

Wasn't Joannie's best. She looked a little off. I think Lori Nichol is bad luck and shouldn't be beside the boards with the coaches - first Patrick and now Joannie

[ImaginaryPogue]

The scoring or the scores? I think Rochette's less happy with the skate that earned that score as opposed to the score itself.

[R.D.]

If this event told us anything [re. US Nats], though, it's that Czisny is still on the map. Telling that she had one of her usual performances and still got triple digits is something Nagasu, Zhang and Wagner should be very concerned about...

[Spun Silver]

Oh hell - Laura got the bronze instead of Mirai? NOOO!

(I've had major problems concentrating on this comp due to home front issues.)

Mirai did rather well, I suppose.

The whole thing. For a lot of skaters. On all events.
The scoring, that is.

Well, Rochette didn't land much more than Lepistö, got only slightly more on TES, but nearly 9 points more on PCS.

It's like everyone was overscored here. Except for Suzuki - she still had the 4th best TES, but got 16 points less PCS than Rochette.

Oh, and everyone skated really really badly.

[sequinsgalore]

Mirai got the highest TES!!!
(Why so low PCS?)

You know what I meant. If she skates like that in Vancouver she won't medal. Joannie was expressive and good to watch - but she made as many mistakes as Mirai

[yelyoh]

mirai got the best tech score anyway. laura was lucky to land on the podium. in both skates her pcs were inflated.

She really is not a very good performer. She looks down at the ice a lot and it's hard for people to be drawn into her performance. That's my view on it anyways.

That's kind of what happened last season too, though. She whooped the other Americans with average performances, especially with her PCs and then went to 4CC and Worlds and bombed hard.
