Is Mao's first 3A slightly underotated? But she is definitely in good shape!

Thanks! All the triple axels looked perfect to me, but I am watching on my iPhone so it is not that clear.

Are the results going to be posted live on the results page?

[skate4ever]

The more popular, the more they think that they have to air it on prime time to earn view rates.

11pm - midnight is considered prime time in Japan?

Nope.... but some enthusiastic fans will make an UNOFFICIAL live result page or we will get pbp from the Japanese board. I'll search them later.

11pm - midnight is considered prime time in Japan?

In Japan, ladies field is popular than men's field, so the media tend to think little of them

Thanks for the update!

I was happy about the results at Russian Nationals for Evgeny, now I think I will log off my computer & wish Mao Asada & all the rest much luck, as I did for Evgeni. Lol, it seems when I don't watch *live* my skaters do well, so as not to jinx them I will not watch.

Are there no practice reports coming through etc? The suspense to see how Mao will do is killing me.

Mao's doing well and all the other skaters too! From Japanese news report,

Kyodo News today, 13:04
"Asada landed all of triple attempted triple Axels in the official practice".. that's all.

Doesn't say whether it was fully rotated
