Sr. Ladies SP at 1:00 EST

[Oreo]

Ouch!

[jaylee]

Ouch, too many errors for Liza and PCS didn't help either.

[Spun Silver]

Ouch! That's a lot to make up. We may need to postpone the coronation.

[joy k.k]

Does anyone know why Akiko isn't doing her 3T3T?

I think Akiko was going for 3F-3T.

[Rachmaninoff]

I'm a bit surprised by how far behind she is...I guess she racks up points largely by jumps and when those don't work there isn't much to pull her ahead of the others. Too bad; I hope she has a good free skate.

[jaylee]

I think she was going for a 3F3T.

That would be surprising. She only completed a 3T/3T in the SP once though out of two tries this season, and I believe that was the first time she ever landed it in her career. It's not like she had so much consistency with the 3T/3T combo that she could upgrade it easily.

[Oreo]

Carolina definitely deserved the SP win: http://www.youtube.com/user/NikaQues.../0/V1Mjrk-xGNU

[FlattFan]

I think she was going for a 3F3T.

I hope she can do it. It's between her and Carolina at this point for the WC.
If Akiko can up her TES, she can probably take down Carolina. I'll be thrilled for either one to win World.

As for the GPF, Carolina has it in the bag. The only girl who can beat Caro has a 12 points deficit. This will be like the GPF last year. Tut might win the LP, but still place 5th, just like Miki.

at all the simultaneous sympathy pain for little Elizaveta. There there, everybody.

[MelissaG]

Too late for the ladies but Icenetwork stream is up now

[emma]

wow...so, congrats to Carolina!!!! Great SP for her. I didn't see the rest, just read the pbp's and scores. Glad Alissa is still in it, tomorrow will be interesting. I feel bad for Tut, but she is amazing. Wish her the best!

She landed 3F-3T during practice about a week ago for the first time.
I saw her practicing 3F-3T again and again at practice last night during a news report.
I thought they looked good. They said she's been practing 3F-3T over and over.

[ordinary person]

I highly doubt Liza will win the LP.

[FlattFan]

Alissa's loop is fully rotated.
I thought it would be downgraded.
