Next group are on the ice

Am hoping Mirai redeems herself and Liza backs up her superb short program with a fantastic free skate

I love how poised Liza is. First in her first GP, ah, no sweat!

OMG That was a crazy spin error at the end. Mirai stayed on her feet, but clearly not her best performance.

Mirai botching her last layback is particularly costly, because it's usually a major point-getter for her on what should be a relatively secure element.

Mirai completely lacked spark -- just going through the motions. She doesn't seem to enjoy this music. Or else it's hard for her to get into it b/c she's concentrating so hard on each element.

Yes, she did seem slow. And I love big, emotional music but it seems ever since the new scoring system, no one is skating up to their music. Makes me miss Kwan and Wiley and Robin cousins!

No major mistakes from Mirai, but quite a few minor blemishes unfortunately. Her body has matured quite a bit compared with last season and I think she is still adjusting to that

Frank is not pleased.

I like the program and she held it together well stylewise, but so many mistakes cut away at her confidence. She didn't fall but she lost heart.
