My biggest gripe with miki is her lack of artistry... She tries to be artistic, as opposed to being artistic... No matter how clean she skates, i wouldnt give her above 130.

I totally agree with you!!!

You mean 130 for the LP or 130 overall?
I still haven't see today's skates, but I'm with those saying that she deserves what she gets this season. Maybe she isn't too artistic, but she can be artistic and she has an amazing consistency, beautiful jumps and she has improved so much in spins and overall (eg posture, arms,..), so I don't get why people is always protesting against her (and Rachael)'s results...
Agree with you guys! I can't believe she's considered the best right now! I miss Kim so much....Ando's a boring champion in my opinion:(
Rachael Flatt actually got higher scores in tech than Mao but her PC scores were among the lowest of the top 6.
Miki is one of those "competitive" skaters that skates clean. Her coach/choreographer knows too well the Point System of the CoP.It's a Sport as well as a Pagaent.
I'd love to see these two on Unisport.

130 for LP of course. And yes, i am being generous
Like Scott Hamilton said at the 1994 Olympic Games ~ "the judges are conservative, it takes a lot to turn them around."
Yet, I feel they are beginning to like Rach, easy to see, look how great her scores are here! Just takes time is all. She's the Haley Mills of figure skating imho.
Well perhaps you see it as being generous, but her personal best is 127 from 2007 Worlds. I think she had a whole lot more technical content back then (including a 3Z-3L) but she's improved in other areas, so I don't think 130 is impossible.
FYI:
Rachael was only 2 pts. behind Miki with the second highest tech. score of the night!
Also, Rachael came in fifth in PCS scores, really tied with Alissa in 4th with 28.94, whereas Rachael's was 28.80.
No, I noticed the edge problem. Miki has HUGE jumps, and today, terrific choreography, BUT she didn't seem at all comfortable with the choreography-none of it flows, and yes, I wish she would learn to extend her leg and point her toe. By the way though, Yuna also fails to point her toe-bugs me to death.
I thought Rachel did very well today-much better posture, much smoother.
Rachaels new SP is much nicer. Too bad she still has that godawful LP. And I dont think hardly anyone talks about Rachael being overscored generally. Nationals this year was about the only time some people thought she was gifted. Usually she isnt scored with much genororisity.
Miki Ando is a whole other story altogether. However this year is a whole new level of score inflation. She is the Patrick Chan of womens skating minus all the brilliance of Chan who falls aside is clearly the best skater in the World today otherwise, which Ando amongst her gender certainly is not.
