Yuna said she had trouble with getting enough motivation for these Worlds. I hope her 10.10 point deficit renews this motivation to possibly end her career on a high note.

I'm not sure she got it ratified. Her TES in Vancouver was 37 and 40 today. She also got the edge call in Vancouver.
Er... what ks777 said.

Why else would her TES go up by 3 then? I think she probably got 3lz-3t ratified with -GOEs either for an edge call or the somewhat scratchy landing. I know Mirai missed levels and got lvl 2 on her spiral sequence and footwork in her LP in Vancouver but in the SP I think she got all of her levels (not quite sure though). If she managed to get 70 without having the 3-3 ratified though, that's even more promising, because it suggests that Mirai could potentially beat Mao and be very very close to Yuna with a solid 3lz-3t in the SP :agree:. Way to go Mirai! I guess we'll know when the protocols come out, but considering that no one confirmed the 3-3 was downgraded like they did with Mao's 3a, I assume it stood. Either way Mirai is a rockstar !
Aw, you're being sweet.
she doesn't care anymore she told she going to just have fun, and I talk one club mates older sister of club mate who I went to school in South FL I not aloud say who, but way she told me from her sister the way Rachael wanting going Stanford she will probley decide to retire after this year. From what I seen she really been just going school alot . She not been full tilt So that probly why she so far back. But when I tweeted Racheal having fun really work at School towards Graduations that is her main goal now. I also wanted add this she class act more then any person on these boards, she had fun not matter what JUdges dumb fans think of her. To see some want reach goals that so hard to get done l makes as American very proud her.
I used to be Miki's fan until i saw her live in rostel cup and lost my spark, she is slow, and a little clumpsy, Morozov was singing in her step sequence, i dont know how is this possible but he did!!!!!

But after Olympics she made no preparation for the Worlds and lost every motivation for it.
I think it's too late to refresh herself now.
From what I hear, she had a clean SP and LP in practice. I don't think any of this has to do with not being prepared. I just think it's a matter of determination and focus... which should return now that she's in 7th!
It's a bit misleading to say that this is the "best of Mao" because we all know Mao has been struggling for a while. She's coming back to form but still not back to her best form and of course her packaging is not ideal. I do think Mirai has the potential to be a formidable opponent to both Yuna and Mao because I think she has the best aspects of both of their skating (Yuna's speed and Mao's flexibility/posture); however, that doesn't mean Mao has reached her peak yet.
I feel bad for Yuna. I don't know if it is the Korean skating federation making her compete at worlds or her sponsors... She just won the Olympics! How could she be motivated? I hope she will go on a long vacation after the world championships! She deserves it!
By the way, I was watching Julia Sebestyn skate her SP.... I really love the music! I didn't really enjoy Julia skating to it though, I thought Yuna could make it a masterpiece. I don't know the name of the music but I could just so picture Yuna skating to it. I would love for Yuna to skate to it next year!
I think Mao could win this and it will be an excellent confident booster for her! But then if she did retain her title, she would continue to rely too much on her 3A and 3A, which has been double edge sword for her.
Mirai 3L-3T should also be downgraded. Tara called it in real time that it was not fully rotated. Tara couldn't tell if Mao 3A was short of rotation even with slow mo replay. This showed inconsistency from the technical specialist.
