It's hard to understand why Yu Na bothered to come to worlds. She needed a major vacay as Johnny Gaga could have told her.
Great chance for our little sparkler (Mirai) and also for Mao to triumph if she can grab it.

I'm stunned Mirai is going to be first after the short. I really hope she can hold it together. I hope she realizes that she has nothing to lose, and it's ok if she doesn't win (or even medal). Just enjoy the experience!
Mirai has great technique going into jumps, I think it is her exits that can be iffy. Today they looked fine though.
Mao's 3a was UR, I wouldn't say it was exactly a triumph for her either. Maybe Kwak can make top 12 now judging from all the mistakes.Originally Posted by wonderlen3000
I think the "new" Mirai will handle first place just fine! Can't wait to see her long.
Why? Because the women aren't doing well? Isn't this par for the course at Worlds? This is just ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with having Worlds after Olympics. All the other disciplines have been fine. Like I said earlier, the women just need to suck it up and deal.
Leonova scored 54.36
Wow who would've thought Ksenia makes the final flight, Mirai in the lead, Yuna out of the final flight, Cynthia right behind Yuna, and Miki and Akiko might cost Japan 3 spots!
This might come down to Yuna coming back, Mirai, and Laura skating like it's the Olympics again, and Mao skates like it's 4CC!
HOLY COW the tech controllers today are very strict on DGs and levels! I'm curious about the protocols.
What's up with the ladies? Aside from a handful, they all seem so off!
I just saw on Drudge that a South Korean navy ship is sinking at this very moment, with loss of life - they fear it was caused by attack by N. Korea! Any chance Yu Na heard about it and was rattled?
Leonova- weird fall on combo, triple lutz turned into combo-a bit off. Axel fine. She's cute, but she is a little sloppy to me. 54.36-14th place
Well the Free skate just got a lot more exciting. lol ^_^ Not to be mean, but at least there will be no definite winner!! Can Mao retain her title?? Will Marai pull Kimmie?? Will Yuna bounce back pull back Adam R?? Can Laura hang on to bronze?? Will Miki redeem herself and make sure Japan got 3 spots??
Too many questions!! My mind is going boogle!! =)
Wow, Mirai really rocked it! What a great and joyful SP she turned in!
She won the SP - now let's hope she can have a strong LP and medal.
I think I agree with you there, concerning Mirai. But I like her jumps much better now than when she was a junior. I think she will improve and be even better.
I can't get into Leonova's skating. But I love her spirit, and it's nice to see her do well, because she gets so happy. Too bad about the opening.
makarova ahead of yuna?!
