[SamuraiKike]

Spots for Next year:

JPN and RUS = 3 spots
KOR, ITA, USA, FIN and GEO = 2 spots. (some 2nd tier skater should switch to Georgia and take that second spot LOL)

CAN and SWE drop to only 1 spot.

I am thrilled! Congratulations to Miki on her second World title! Also, congratulations to Yu-Na and Carolina, I'm also very happy for them!

Oh Mao...

[Mirunna]

It's funny that Miki won with her worst performance of the LP in the entire season ) This just shows how strong she was this year!! I've never seen such consistency for some time!
Plus, this season neither Mao or Yuna won a single competition!(yes, I know this was Yuna's only competition and that Mao made some changes in her technique, but it's funny to put it this way )

Yeah I bet Alissa was paid to fall as part of the conspirancy too..:sheesh:

For pete's sake, I wish I never said anything now. Way to be a douchebag, buddy.

Congrats to Miki, Yuna and Caro.

I am just thrilled for Miki, well deserved gold for her and Caro what an elegant program she skated, just loved it. To bad about Yuna's mistakes. I thought she skated beautifully.

And I'm quite sure that she won in FS in all competition,right?

thanks for youtube video of Yuna's LP! much better than stream I watched, I was able to fully appreciate Yuna's marvelous program once again. Her 3-3 was simply one of the best I've ever seen. That 3Lz was out of the world.

Yuna's LP. SBS version.

Thank you!!

The music was haunting, Yuna was beautiful, the costume was a work of art but her jumps were not as spectacular as I remembered them to be.

Happy for Miki, Yu na and Carolina. Carolina has the best long program this season imo then Alissa. Haven't seen Yu na's yet.

I wish there was room for Alissa and Mao but I'm proud that Alissa is top 5. She did her job but Rachel....anyhoo.

So glad there were no hometown conspiracies/cheating in the ladies because that wouldn't have made sense to me.

Still kinda of a weird worlds.

Korpi finished 9th, therefore 2 spots for Finland next year.

Russia gets THREE spots: 4th + 7th = 11 points.
Finland gets TWO spots: 9th plust 16points for Turkkila = 25 (everyone who makes the LP ang places 16th or higher gets 16 points).

Consider from the past result, to be honest I expect Yuna to get high enough PCS to beat Miki but she didn't get it this time. That gave a chance for Miki to win as she has higher base value.

There are some wonderful things about the choreography, and some not so wonderful things. The back bent leg spiral-ugh. footwork-wonderful. Spread eagle w/bent knee, not so wonderful. (Can anyone other than Sasha do this correctly? I'm beginning to wonder) Some of it just doesn't flow very well. Yuna basically missed her first three elements, (including a substandard spin). Watching the 3L though, she still has the greatest jumping tech I've ever seen for a woman. Miki is uninspired, but solid. I might have put Yu Na 3d to be honest.

Thank you! I'll edit. I needed more coffee, obviously....lol
