Ladies - short program

[oleada]

2nd place, surprising to me.

She only did a 2F and a 3T+2t, while Geng did a 3Lz+2t and 3T. Geng also had better spins, but Amanda deservedly won the PCS

[Nadine]

Beautiful skate by Mirai, nice opening 3L/2T, tight landing on the 3F but done, and gorgeous Ina Bauer into 2A. Really came alive during the 2nd half of the skate with lots of personality, ending with the gorgeous Pearl Spin!!!!!

[Nadine]

Ah on replay the 3F looked UR. Still the last spin reminded me of NNN, thanks Mirai!

[Nadine]

Into 1st place with 3 more skaters to go.

[Kissx3]

Looked great. Completely different class of skater than all those that came before. Hope the jumps went well, I'm grateful to have Skatebuzz but it's a little choppy.

[seniorita]

I love Mirai, everything looks so natural with her

[Kissx3]

Leonova looks like a completely different person. Again.

[Nadine]

Ah, no wonder the odd getup by the redhaired lady, she's skating to Cirque du Soleil & La Strata. Some turnouts on her opening combo. jump & seemed rather frenetic throughout.

[seniorita]

I m watching it with delay but I wanna say that Mirai looks like she has Yuna material :D this program reminded me of her.

[Nadine]

Beautiful black & white sparkly dress by Akiko of Japan to go along with the flower arrangement in her hair. Nice opening 3L/2T, fallout on the 3F, good comeback with the 2A. My only complaint is she should lose the tights over the boots, they make her legs look clunky, especially during the spins. Nice smile reminiscent of Yoshi Onda.

[oleada]

Loved Mirai and Akiko's step sequence.

[Nadine]

Goooooooooooooooo miki!!!!!

[ordinary person]

there was nothing great about mirai,slightly worse with the bad landing and less spins than joshi and amanda

[seniorita]

Leonova had her moment in the sun last two years, i think Makarova has passed her now and all the russian babies that will be eligible in one year, she lost her spark and jumps.

[oleada]

Miki did a great 3Lz+3Lo!
She looked fast and powerful.
