This is probably the easiest worlds ever to medal in. Not much of a field compared to other years sadly.

yeah, things are looking good for the american ladies if they skate the way they did at nationals.

Popova did lovely. There's an airy quality to her skating that I like. Couldn't help being reminded of Maria Butyrskaya because of the music. I miss that lady lots.

could change in a few more years though, hopefully with the new younger generation with full arsenal :)
I think we have been saying this for years. Because the field has been sketchy for quite some time. First the American wonderladies (Nagasu, Zhang etc.) were supposed to make everything more exciting. Then there were quite a few Chinese hopefuls with "amazing" potential (Bingwa Gwen etc.). Now it is the Russians that will apparently revolutionise the sport - but one of them is a baby (Julia), one is already feeling the pressure a lot and not dealing too well (Adelina), the Polinas are wildly inconsistent...

Beautiful Mao.

Her PCS should be through the roof, or up near the low ceiling. TES is great, or not depending on whether her 3A is credited, i.e. no <.

Too bad about the fall on the 3axel but, I have nothing but respect for her for trying it and not taking the easy way out.

Poor Mao, it looks like her heart left skating after her mother (her greatest supporter) died this past December. It's sad to see her so thin with those aqua blue puffs on her chest to represent her now non-existent breaasts.

Here's hoping she regains her 2010 Olympic form by the next Olympics. *crossing fingers*

Mao is just beautiful... but why did she go for the 3A?! It looked nowhere near rotated.
